The Affiliate Convention held in Denver, Colorado was considered a success according to WebmasterRadio.fm. I was there and can say it was a pretty good turn out. Can't complain when the event was free and beer was served for free. Free beer... can't beat that!
I was expecting a long line, however, it didn't take no more than five minutes to get signed in. Picked up my pass and I was good to go. It was still early (about thirty minutes early) , good time to go find an empty seat in the main affiliate room (room was still empty at the time, as you can see the picture in the left).
I picked out all the affiliate classes in which I thought was most interesting. Here's what my first day schedule looked like:
11:00 - 12:15 PM
Super Affiliate Marketing Techniques
1:30 - 2:45 PM
Mobile Affiliate Marketing
3:30 - 4:20 PM
Landing Page Optimization, Creating Higher Conversion Rates
4:30 - 5:30 PM
Managing Search Campaigns That Scale - Tips from the Pros
If you didn't attend the affiliate convention, I have pictures that I took with my T-mobile G1 and WebmasterRadio.fm has recorded audios you can listen to. You can listen to the audio here: http://www2.webmasterradio.fm/affiliate-convention-conference.
Q: I want to know if there is a way we can set up links directly to certain categories of your products, and even directly to particular items?
A: You can make your own customize text links with our Legacy Redirect Link (Link ID 10426666) on Commission Junction. It's a short and simple process of setting up links to any page or product on www.toolking.com. Here is an example of the affiliate tracking code for our DeWalt page:<a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-(Insert PID)-10426666?url=http://www.toolking.com/brand/dewalt-tools/" target="_top">DeWalt Tools</a><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-(Insert PID)-10426666" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>
Now all you need to do is change the parts that are highlighted in red.
- Insert your PID where indicated.
- Insert the URL of the landing page
- Insert the Text you would like to display
<a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-(Insert PID)-10426666?url=http://www.toolking.com/dewalt-dw718-factory-reconditioned-12-inch-double-bevel-sliding-compound-miter-saw" target="_top">DeWalt DW718R Factory Reconditioned Compound Miter Saw</a><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-(Insert PID)-10426666" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>
Simple, right? Let me know if you need any help creating a customize text link.
