THE DAY BEFORE AFFILIATE SUMMIT WEST 2010

Yesterday was the last semi-quiet day in Las Vegas for Affiliate Summit West 2010. We were readying everything behind the scenes and had an early checkin at the registration desk.

We managed to get our new book, Internet Marketing from the Real Experts, published in time to give a copy to each attendee.

This book is a collection of articles on affiliate marketing, search engine marketing, social media and more from 88 writers in the first seven issues of FeedFront Magazine.    –more

Affiliate Summit West 2010 – Monetizing Blogs for Affiliate Marketing and SEO

Blogging took the front and center stage at today’s Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas. The day’s events were filled with sessions about blogging and blog blog marketing. The session I attended was call Monetizing blogs for Affiliate Marketing and SEO. The panel of speakers include Drew Bennett of BenSpark, John Carcutt of MediaWhiz, Tim Jones of The Real Tim Jones and Murray Newlands of Affiliate Heat. The panel was moderated by Kirs Jones of Pepperjam Network.
