End of Day One

Okay, for the new members, here is the drill. I post lightly during the show and then compile all of my notes at the end and post similar to what I sent out over the weekend.

How was Day One? I can sum it up in one word: sucked. I have never walked out of more presentations. The material presented was not only unuseable, but it was presented unprofessionally. It was a major disappointment. However, the conversations that I was a part of were excellent. The highlights were meeting Vanessa Fox of Google Webmaster Tools, whom we threatened to kidnap (she took that well). Ross Phillips, Senior Affiliate Manager for Link Connector, whom I am meeting with her and another Senior Manager to discuss their affiliate network. I’m a “five star” affiliate with them … and haven’t really done anything - so their scale is pretty weak.

Anyway, I’m here in the main salon, where Ask is “buying” everyone a free drink. The line is huge. What people do to save $5.00. Amazing.

More later. I have an article idea for keyword targeting - and I will get it out this week.

If you are here - I’ll be in the Envy bar in about an hour!
