Affiliate Marketing and Search Arbitrage at Search-Engine Strategies (SES) – Chicago
Pepperjam’s Director of Videography (aka, Dean – Pepperjam’s resident AM & SE Rockstar) wanted to shoot some film the other day – I was pretty fired up about the fact that too few affiliate marketers attend search-engine strategies conferences…In short, there is poor affiliate representation at search-engine marketing conferences. Yet these same affiliate marketers (you know who you are) attend the traditional affiliate marketing conferences like Affiliate Summit, Commission Junction University, and the Linkshare Symposium / Executive Summit. Yeah, I know that affiliate conferences cover search…however, Google, the popular search-engine that continues to make policy changes “i.e., Google’s landing page quality score” that directly minimize search-engine marketing affiliates, does not send representation to affiliate conferences.
Anyway, I rant quite a bit about the need for better representation and I talk about the two panels I will be sitting on at SES – Chicago – CLICK HERE for more info on my panels, which includes (1) Search Arbitrage Issues and (2) Dealing with Affiliates.
If you want to learn more about Search Arbitrage you can listen to two recent podcasts I did with my friend Shoemoney – see below…while you’re at it check out the video below. Please note that each podcast interview is roughly 60-minutes in length.

[...] So, Friday and Saturday I’ll be in San Fran. Early A.M. on Sunday morning I’ll be flying from San Fran to Las Vegas to attend the Affiliate Summit. On Tuesday from 3:30 – 4:30pm I’ll be speaking on the issue of “The Confluence of Search and Affiliate Marketing.” At past conferences I’ve discussed this issue from the merchant perspective, this time around Shawn Collins asked me to address affiliates so my presentation will be part of the “Affiliate Track” – this will give me an opportunity to dish some money making “secrets” using some search arbitrage tactics that I’ve been using over the last 7-years to become one of the largest affiliates in the world – if you enjoyed my podcasts with Shoemoney, you’ll definitely find this presentation valuable.

[...] Second, it’s been confirmed that I’ll be speaking on two panels at Search-Engine Strategies (SES) – New York, including (1) Search Arbitrage and (2) Affiliate Marketing Issues. I’ve spoken on these panels in previous SES’s and the Search Arbitrage one is especially hot. I can tell you now that Ive received some inside info that a senior person from Google will be on the arbitrage panel to defend Google’s arbitrage position. Remember, I’ve blogged about this before HERE and HERE – in short, Google has made a # of policy decisions regarding Google Adwords that has attepted to rid the system of Garbitragers (MFAer’s), but in the process have created a system that is rampant with false positives…most notably the fact that many affiliate marketers are forced to pay as much as $10 per click for a keyword that others pay 10 cents. Come to think of it, the Google Adwords product is resulting in quite a bit of collateral damage to advertisers these days – more on that HERE and HERE. More news on this soon. [...]
