Things are crazy here at Pepperjam - staff members going knutz, Roxy barking, me kicking Mike’s ass at Ping Pong, having fun with Meet the Pepperjam Team, and so much more.

To be honest, I’ve never had more fun in my professional or personal life. The quality of our incoming clients has never been better, while the energy at the pepperplex is outstanding.

The point of this blog post is to provide you with some news that I intend to blog more about over the next few weeks.

First, I pre-recorded a panel that I moderated for ecomXpo yesterday on Social Media. The panel includes Todd Malicoat (Stuntdubl), Neil Patel (PronetAdvertising), Jeremy Schoemaker (Shoemoney), and myself. All I’m gonna say at this point was that the panel was amazing - the interaction and discussion between each of the panelists was awesome. More info to come on how you can listen in and participate in a LIVE Q & A with Shoemoney, Stuntdubl, Neil, and myself.

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 at previous SES’s and the Search Arbitrage panel 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 attempted 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.

Third, the Meet the Pepperjam Team is really hot - we’ve had over 6,000 views since inception. If you haven’t checked out any of our videos you can do so HERE.

Fourth, Pepperjam is hiring - if you have internet marketing experience and want to work for a progressive, fun company, send your resume to maggie @ pepperjamsearch.com.

Finally, we’ve decided to take our entire executive team to the upcoming Tony Robbins “Unleash the Power Within” conference in NYC. Michael and I have done this conference before but this time around things are different. Now, Tony is our client - we recently launched a program for him on Commission Junction and we are working on other opportunities for his company within the internet marketing space - we will actually have a booth at the conference to promote the program (stop by if you’re there.) If you’d be interested in attending the conference drop me a comment and I’ll see if we can get you a discounted ticket. If you want to take your life to the next level, think about going to a Tony Robbins conference.

If you’ve already gone to a Tony Robbins conference or have read any of Tony’s books we’d love to get your feedback - just leave us a comment.

I’ve included a video below, which is a promo video for the conference (note that it’s a bit outdated and we had nothing to do with putting the video together).
