Like the great prime time dramas of yore, we’ve done a crossover arc episode with the guys at Geek Dads Weekly, Daniel M. Clark and Drew Bennett. Our fun started during Emo Wolverine Feels Nothing – Geek Dads Weekly 101 and continues here. In in this episode we discuss:
- Ad:tech NY & Mike’s experience there last week. It seems more folks are more directed at building mobile networks instead of mobile content, necessarily.
- Using the broader point of reference of Internet Marketing instead of Affiliate or Performance Marketing.
- Some Affiliate Summit West 2012 info, talking about our Affiliate Improv! panel with Mike, Daniel, Eric Souza, and myself. The panel will be at 3:30 Sunday January 8th in the Augustus V room.
- We’ll be manning a speaker booth Tuesday January 10th at 2:00 pm for any follow up!
- The discovery of Pinterest, the inundation of crafty folks there, and how it is divided a bit among gender lines between who “gets it” and who doesn’t.
- The Affiliate Summit Newcomer Program – Our code name for Caesar’s will be Castle Greyskull.
- Show our guests some love: Daniel M. Clark is a podcast production consultant at QAQN.com and Drew Bennett is a dad, photographer, and blogger at BenSpark.com.

It seems longing for a simpler time, back when we all religiously listened to Geek Cast, is a virus that’s going around. Before the band got back together last week on Affiliate Thing, we had a similar idea to emulate that model for fun. Mike is back, and we were also joined by Wade Tonkin of Fanatics and Drew Bennett of BenSpark.com. In in this episode we discuss:
- Our collective love of the original Geek Cast with Shawn Collins, Sam Harrelson, Jim Kukral, and Lisa Picarille.
- The passing of Steve Jobs… would the reaction be similar if Bill Gates had passed?
CityCrashVille Hometown on iPad.- Speculating on what Affiliate Summit Central will be.
- Upcoming Affiliate Summit West in January and how the session voting is going.
- Mike’s recap of the New York Comic Con

Read MoreWin a Gold Pass to Affiliate Summit West 2012
In July of 2007 I attended my first Affiliate Summit in Miami. It was a fantastic experience. I learned so much, and that was certainly part of the chain of events in my wandering string of jobs to convince me that I liked this industry. The following year at Affiliate Summit East in Boston, I made the decision that I wanted to continue in Affiliate Marketing and build a career rather than just meander along at different jobs. Considering this is light years away from what I went to college for, that was a major decision in my life.
And attending Affiliate Summits helped solidify that for me.
So I want so spread the love and help someone else drive into this dynamic and awesome industry feet first. So I’m giving away a Gold Pass to Affiliate Summit West 2012. This year’s western version of the conference will take place January 8-10, 2012 at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, which I’m excited about since it’s one of the few larger hotels in Las Vegas that I’ve never once set foot into. The Gold Pass will allow you access to the Meet Market, Exhibit Hall, Keynotes, Sunday educational sessions, and online access to all recorded session videos and PowerPoint presentations. Right now we’re still in the Early Bird registration phase, so the Gold Pass is valued at $279 and after October 21st it goes up to $529, so winning this Gold Pass is definitely in your best financial interests!

The winner will be notified via e-mail and will have 48 hours to confirm that they can attend Affiliate Summit West, then I will provide them with the code to register for free. Don’t scam the contest or I’ll out you on Twitter and the blog!
