We’re a little late this week but got going relatively quick.  We chat a bit about social media and taxes in this episode, and have a good time doing it.  I think we were keeping Mike warm with our banter!  The episode comes in at a chunky, too-fat-to-fly 32:30. In in this episode we discuss:

  • Google Buzz is a Buzz Kill
  • Audience Conference 2010 is now open for registration.  This year’s theme is Comedy.
  • Kevin Smith’s Social Media battle with Southwest Airlines

  • More information on the tax issues going on in various states can be found at:
  • EDIT: The Sacramento and San Diego trips we talk about were canceled late tonight.  The CA bill will be heard in the morning and we may make a trip on Monday for the house hearing.  Stay tuned!

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics 19: It’s a Search Tool!

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics – A couple of hyper-caffeinated affiliate marketers (Mike Buechele) and (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more!

In this all-too-RARE episode, we reunite and make lots of fun of ourselves for being inconsistent in our scheduling and shows.  We discuss some things that are kind of old and some things that are brand-spanking new.  It happens.  Incidentally, I realize I said the name Richard Attenborough when we were joking around and I was trying to reference those classic nature shows from our childhood with the stoic British actor describing gazelles running across the Serengeti.  Not sure what the actor’s name actually was, but I know now that it wasn’t Sir Attenborough.  Oh well, despite that, episode 19 comes in at a cheetah like speed of 39 minutes.

Also, I just fixed the audio problem where it cut off about 33 minutes in.  Sorry, should be all good now!  In this episode we discuss:

  • My new gig with For Me To Coupon.
  • The Advertising Tax hits Colorado.  Read more about it here:
  • The launch of Impact Radius – more of an exchange than a network.
  • Seesmic Look.  Seriously, what is this?  We decided – it’s a search tool!
  • 1938 Media starts 1938 Business & teams up with some heavy hitters to produce this year’s Audience Conference.
    • Loren Feldman and Affiliate Summit Team Up
  • Shout outs went to the losers of the Affiliate of the Year Pinnacle Award, Kim Rowley and Eric Nagel!

In in this episode we discuss:

  • The new trend of DailyBooth.com
