After the intro sessions at Affiliate Summit (First Timers Guide
and How to Pitch Your Company
), the first session I attended was Industry Clash: Balancing CPS & CPA Marketing
featuring Ian Fernando (CPA), Jason Rubacky (CPS), Logan Thompson (both) and moderated by Greg Hoffman.
The Saturday before Affiliate Summit, I attended Sugarrae‘s SEO training, held at the Hilton.
Rae Hoffman-Dolan, aka Sugarrae, is a well-known SEO and Affiliate Marketer. Her SEO training piggy-backed on Affiliate Summit, and was an additional registration fee ($800, when I booked). What was I hoping to get for $800?
I’m going to have session recaps up over the next few days, but I wanted to write a general recap of my recent trip to Affiliate Summit East 2011 held in New York City August 21-23.
I attended as three roles: affiliate, speaker, and press (blogger)

Ok, time for me to feel smug. Managed to get rel author markup working and appearing in SERPs for my tumblr site:http://t.co/6jsVAwJ
I decided to attempt to do the same thing with my own blog (EricNagel.com), which runs on Thesis.
There’s been talk lately that the Google Panda loves keyword-rich subdomains, so I decided to test this on my coupon website.
Aside from a WordPress blog, the pages on the coupon website are all driven from a coupon database. I use a system I wrote myself, although you can just as easily use a service like For Me to Coupon.
