“SMX” East will be heading to New York City on October 5-7 2009. This conference is a bit different than what most of the Performance Publishers are accustomed to. Typically, the events such as Affiliate Summit and Adtech are high priorities for publishers but I wanted to share a resourceful event that helped catapult my business as an affiliate before coming on with C2M.
Usually I only suggest getting an expo pass because quite frankly the sessions at other shows are pretty boring. At SMX however, they sort allocate more speakers and segregate sessions into much more focused learning experiences. Whether you are just starting in Affiliate Marketing, sitting on the fence to jump in or are an experience marketer, there is bound to be something useful for you. I was looking over the SMX East Agenda today and saw a ton of sessions that look great. C2M will be sending its own managers to the conference for education and networking. Some of the sessions that caught my eye were:
- Mobile Search Ads – Focus On PPC
- Mobile Search Apps & Opportunities
- Amazing PPC Tactics
- Pumping Up Youtube
- SEO & International Issues
- Search Meet Display: Display Meet Search
- Pumping Up WordPress For SEO
- Ask The Paid Search Reps – YES THIS ONE LOOKS GREAT!
There are a ton of sessions but those really stood out and will be ones that I am personally attending. To walk into a session regarding mobile marketing you can be subjected to a ton of new traffic sources. The networking at an event like this is phenomenal.
If you are the “expo hall” only type, there is going to be a ton of networking going on. Companies such as:
- Bing
- iProspect
- 7Search
- eZanga
- Marchex
- Search Return
All of these companies are available to be networked with and possible strategies on how you can utilize their services. Already knowing the traffic available from Marchex, I’m personally looking forward to speaking with someone face to face over there. A lot of 2nd tier traffic sources will be at the event and we all know how hard it can be just to get approved for an account. A good idea is to just carry your laptop with you and get your account approved right there on site. Another good idea is to get yourself a Rep who will personally help and manage you.
Are you considering to attend SMX East in October?

Affiliate Summit East just got over last weekend and now we are two weeks away from the Midwest AdTech Show. To answer a lot of questions, we will not be making the Leadscon Conference. I promise, we WILL be at the next one. Handling shows along with trying to keep up with daily network flow is a challenging thing for a boutique network:). However, we will be in attendance for the exhibit floor at Adtech Chicago on September 1st. We will not be boothing but you wont be able to miss us.
AdTech Chicago is the midwest show and it’s generally smaller than the other 2 shows in the US. The Latin Adtech show was cancelled last year and if I am not mistaken, they have combined it with this Midwest Conference. Whatever it may be, there hasnt been a show yet that I have gone too where it didnt help to increase my business in some way. Adtech is generally better for publishers because it’s sort of bigger on traffic source type exhibitors.
We wont be scheduling any meetings because we are literally flying in for the first day of the show and heading back to the Orlando Office afterwards that evening but we would love to meetup with anyone during the show and walk around.

It was a blast and I apologize for not posting all the pictures. I also apologize for not linking. I’m tired.
It was a great show!

As you probably already know Convert2Media is gearing up to head to the Summit. I’m personally about to board a plane to head to Orlando right now and then Michael, Steve, Mike K, Lance, Ryan and myself will be packing up and heading to New York City tomorrow afternoon. We will be arriving in this at around 10pm to the Hilton in NYC.
Again we are at Meet Market Table #70 on Sunday and Booth #1808 on Mon-Tue. Be sure to stop by for a cold keg of brew and the what will easily be the best t-shirt at ASE. What’s on the t-shirt? Let’s just say if you are at all familiar with who C2M’s HERO is, you wont want to miss it!
Here are some pics of C2M will be arriving in at the Hilton. I’m only putting this here because some of you stalkers have demanded on Facebook and Twitter what time we will be arriving.
I will be having some talk sessions at the booth and around on the floor throughout the Summit. If you miss them, that’s your own fault. These are sessions that you will never see online and I literally give away the farm on traffic sources, tips and tactics. If you want an example, I had a publisher I met in November make $450 total and after a “session” at AdTech New York City in November we paid out over $37,000.00 in commissions to him in December.
So feel free to bounce around to all the networks and see what they can do for you. They will probably tell you about their exclusives and high payouts which is at the bottom of the list of what we can do for you. That is the easy stuff and goes without saying. If you are ready to work and take what I tell you and use it, there is no doubt in my mind that you cant increase your business exponentially within a month. I know this because I’ve been helping people do it for years. So dont get too wasted where you sleep thru the conference.
I also have word that the “millionaire publisher” from last month will be there. Will he be around and come out of hiding? We will see…
