This week we are FINALLY joined by Wade Tonkin of GTO Management and the man behind the Christian Affiliate Marketers Association. We had a fine conversation, accidentally recorded in Mono instead of Stereo since I forgot to switch the defaults on this new computer. I think the sound quality is good though, but welcome any feedback. Since we’re all busy people, I opted for no intro music this week and we come in at a sultry 34:25. In in this episode we discuss:
- Who Wade is, i.e. a partner at GTO Management
- Blog World Expo and their affiliate program (which GTO Management professionally manages)
- The events put on by and the Christian Affiliate Marketing Association
- SponsoredTweets and how that’s going to Mike & Trisha

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 kept it short & sweet this week, but hey! We did two weeks in a row! YES… I’m patting us on the back for that. We talked briefly about some things that have been going on in the industry this week, and had a short & sweet conversation with limited tangents. And almost no discussion of Twitter, other than a third party service mention. Since it was so short I messed with outro music too, which brought us to a pleasantly succinct 19:30. In in this episode we discuss:
- The fantastic fill in job Eric Nagel did last week.
- Affiliate Day came & went on September 14th.
- Sponsored Tweets picked up their traffic
- CJU, despite neither of us going.
- How cool it is when industry celebs remember you!
- Halloween & Fall promotions are upon us!
- Fantasy Football with Jason Rubacky and Shawn Collins… and a brief girl’s guide to how scoring works.

Once again, our schedules just were not fated to correspond this week. So we enlisted the help of good ol’ Eric Nagel, the king of awesome business cards, to co-host with me. Watch out Mike – Eric may give you a run for your money! It was a good conversation, a bit more focused than some. And in Eric’s honor – no intro music! It’s a short & sweet episode coming in at 42:30. In in this episode we discuss:
- CJ Keyword Links expiring – how will this affect affiliates?
- Affiliate Day on Monday September 14th
- Twitter changed it’s Terms of Service, and strangely announced it via email.
- WordPress getting hacked last week and some discussion of upgrading WordPress, plugins, and WordPress MU.
- CJU, ShareASale ThinkTank, Affiliate Summit West, Affiliate Convention all on the West Coast – no love for East Coast!
- The phenomenon of Poken, custom logo Poken, and more business-like Poken coming soon.

Seriously, I should steal Mike’s login on GeekCast.fm & change it to my name since I’m always doing the post production on AMF! Which is my fault that it’s late – we recorded this on Friday and between actual work and finalizing some big weekend plans involving my high school reunion, I didn’t get this edited until early this morning. We’re probably the last people on Earth to post our recaps of Affiliate Summit East 2009 in New York City, but here it is. We’re kind of all over the place this episode, so here’s some of the things I remember talking about. This ramblin’ man of a podcast clocks in at about 54 minutes.
- The parties of Affiliate Summit and Mike’s inability to be in two places at one time.
- The conference facilities.
- Our positive and negative takes on some of the sessions we attended.
- A (now late) birthday shout out to former (?) affiliate marketing dude Sam Harrelson.
- A shout out to Elite Profits and Ian Fernando for giving attendees of their dinner party bottles of Dom Perignon 2000.
