ASE09: Tuesday Peter Shankman Keynote (Dominic’s Take)
Thursday

Guest Post by Dominic Fawver.
I see that Trisha has already given a really good outline of the topics covered by Peter, so I will just briefly mention a few things that I got out of it.
This was one of the most entertaining, insightful, and inspirational speeches given at the Summit. I really enjoyed how Peter was able to engage the entire audience by using current examples mixed in with examples from his own experience. One of his key points was that you can not make something go viral; you can make something good, and if people like it, it will go viral. This keynote (along with all that I learned at Affiliate Summit) has given me the inspiration to continue on with a couple of projects I had been thinking of for a while.
That’s the mark of a good keynote.
Affiliate Marketing Fanatics #7: Tweeting, Speaking, & Blogging
Friday
May 15, 2009
Affiliate Marketing Fanatics – A Publisher (Mike Buechele) and an Affiliate Manager (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more!
We’re back after a fortnight away! We don’t do it on purpose, it just happens that way, we swear! We’re back in the swing of things this week with a relatively short show for us clocking it at an even 30 minutes and 30 seconds! This week we delve into our favorite topic of Twitter… I think we might as well just rename this the TwitterCast! Specifically we discussed:
- Twitter monkeying around with the @replies and the #fixreplies fiasco that ensued.
- Commission Junction has finally jumped on the Twitter bandwagon, and we ponder why larger companies take so long to make the social media move.
- We excitedly ham it up about the fact that we’ll be speaking on a panel at Affiliate Summit East 2009, and another show I’ll be at next month.
- Mike’s discovered a HARO-like service specifically for bloggers called Blogger LinkUp run by Cathy Stucker and we talk about the two.
- Finally we give some well deserved shout outs to our fellow ASE09 panelists Jen Goode, Stephanie Lichtenstein, and our fabulous moderator Lisa Picarille.
So please, go check it out and comment and let us know what you think!

There wasn’t a large amount of stuff going on this week, but what did go on was big news and somewhat exciting. There’s some important issues going on and some dates to remember.
- Not one, but two keynote speakers have been announced for Affiliate Summit East 2009, August 9-11 in New York City. Social media rockstar Chris Brogan will take the keynote torch during the traditional Monday slot, then Help a Reporter creator Peter Shankman will fill a new keynote spot Tuesday morning. Very cool!
- I haven’t yet had a chance to write a recap myself, so here’s the recap of LinkShare Symposium West from the official LinkShare blog.
- Speaking of LinkShare’s Symposium, they’ve announced the dates for LinkShare Symposium East, including the Golden Link Awards. For some reason it was not announced on their blog or website, but widely reported by other affiliate bloggers like Missy Ward.
- Speaking of affiliate networks, ShareASale has decided to lead a roundtable discussion on toolbars and setting standards to keep them within the ideals and ethics ShareASale has set forth. There’s a lot of backlash about it on ABW, but I think people are jumping the gun – let’s see how the first discussion goes before making a solid judgment.
