I just ran across this ad on Facebook for a service called Linkberry. The ad grabbed my eye because it said something like “Create a San Francisco Start Page.” Nice use of geo-targeting (a method of displaying ads based on where the viewer is located). The ad was relevant to me, so I clicked; I [...]

Ok, so the Affiiate Summit conference in Boston wasn’t nearly as good as their previous shows. I think I made that clear in my previous post. But it wasn’t a total bust - there were highlights. Putting on a show of this size takes a lot of work and coordination, and the organizers (and some [...]

I was literally stunned by a couple of the ‘break out’ sessions at Affiliate Summit in Boston. Stunned at how underprepared and/or underqualified the speakers were. This was my third time attending this popular affiliate marketing conference, and as I’ve said time and time again, Affiliate Summit offers some great networking opportunities. Unfortunately this time [...]

I was fortunate enough to attend the 2008 Affiliate Summit East conference in Boston last week and I feel like my brain is brimming with internet marketing knowledge.

Hate to admit it, but it’s been almost a week since we returned from Affiliate Summit…and this is my first blog post since before I left. Bad blogger. I had, of course, planned to blog every day while I was in Boston. Who was I kidding? I can’t even manage to blog every day I’m [...]

A while back we shared our initial impression of Clickable. But now that we are in the midst of our trial period of this Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ad management tool, we can provide a little more insight into the value of their service. There are probably some people for whom Clickable would be a worthwhile time [...]

Affiliate Summit is a great internet marketing conference in many ways, but ironically affiliates themselves are actually severely under-represented at this show. The majority of attendees are affiliate networks (trying to attract new merchants or publishers) or merchants (trying to learn about new methods of attracting publishers or running their programs). The smallest group at [...]
