Update from Affilicon

by Scott Parent : Jun 1, 2009

Hello from Tel Aviv, Israel. Day one of Affilicon is over and my head is spinning from all the sessions, panels and interviews I was part of today.

This morning our own Jivan Manhas lead a panel about international affiliate programs – lots of great information about leveraging performance marketing on a global scale. Panelists included representatives from Copeac and ClickBank.

After an epic lunch spread (and I do mean epic by conference standards), I saw Igal Pines deliver a spirited presentation called “Cash Chicken Engineering.” In addition to becoming a very finacially successful affiliate, Igal also talked about karma and the importance of giving back to the affiliate community. In fact, he shares much of his knowledge with his readership of his PJS blog. Unfortunately for us English-speakers, his blog is in Hebrew.

During the late afternoon, I got a chance to interview Stefanie Amini from NeoGames Partners, Dush Ramachandran of ClickBank, Ran Aroussi - an internet marketing strategist and Igal Pines. All provided some great insight in the global, and particularly, the Israeli online markets.

On a final – and decidedly random note – Relevantly Speaking has proven to be pretty popular here. I’ve had quite a few people stop me to say they watched the show. It’s always nice to hear that people dig what we’re doing. It’s funny how small the world can be even when you’re halfway around the globe.

Tomorrow’s another big day. I better get some rest.
