Hey all. Jonathan Volk gave me the opportunity to do a guest post on his blog. I decided to do a really interesting post regarding using Twitter to generate Local Leads. Its an extension of my Online Local Advertising Series so I hope that you will check it out and let me know what you think.
It’s no secret that I think Affiliate Summit is a great show. It’s not often that I get to see all of my friends in one place and interact with some of the best minds in the industry.
Affiliate Summit East NYC 2010 will take place August 15-17, 2010 at the Hilton NY.
If you are flying in for the event, I highly suggest coming a day or 2 early to enjoy some of the pregame activities.
According to the Tatto Media report recently released, affiliates rate Affiliate Summit as the most valuable tradeshow to their businesses (by a freakin’ landslide)
Affiliate Summit is going to have a commercial running on TV this year as well. Check it out:
Affiliate Summit is giving a 10% off discount to AdHustler.com readers. Use coupon code ASE10ADHUSTLER – The coupon works on ALL passes, not just the fancy ones. Giving a discount at all is extremely generous of them considering they sell the show out EVERY SINGLE TIME! I am also making ZERO commission if you use that code or any links in this post so I have no skin in the game.
I’ll be at Summit, Will You?
**This was NOT a paid post. I was NOT asked to make this post but rather want to share an awesome event with you.**

It’s no secret that I got started in music & entertainment. I used to be in a band (which is going to be a whole other post) and went to school for Radio Production/On-Air Personality. I used to have a recording studio as well as an online radio show (which believe it or not was really popular for an online radio show) called “The Ed & B-Man” show. I was digging through my computer and stumbled upon some promos that we did for the show and thought you might find them amusing.
TattoMedia recently published a report with research related to the affiliate industry. One of the research pieces they did which I found interesting was the survey “Which Affiliate Industry Blogs Do You Read Most.” AdHustler.com ranked at a very respectable 5th most popular (considering the million friggen affiliate blogs nowadays). I am pretty proud of this and have each one of you readers to THANK for helping my voice be heard.
The top 5 most read blogs were:
#1 Shoemoney (of course)
#2 NickyCakes (always a solid source of info)
#3 Jonathan Volk (Good guy)
#4 PPC Coach (Huh? Does this guy even have a blog?)
#5 Ad Hustler
Below is the graphic showing all the rankings as well as other bloggers and how they ranked.
If you were Nick Throlson wouldn’t you just give up at this point?

Hey all. Some of you have noticed that i’ve been MIA for the last week.
Last week a major snowstorm came through my area and dumped over 3 feet of snow on my house. It’s the snowstorm i’ve been wanting for quite some time. I was also kind of hoping for a blackout. I don’t know why but I just find them fun. Well we got that blackout and about a minute later I realized blackouts suck in the winter because then you have no heat. Normally you can just jump town and get yourself a nice hotel room but over 3 feet of snow kind of traps you in the house. Plow trucks couldn’t come through because the snow was too heavy so they needed to use backhoes and bobcats to move the snow. Our plow guy couldnt plow the driveway either so we had to shovel a good portion of it. This kept us trapped in the house from Thursday-Saturday. We finally skipped town on Saturday and only on Monday did we finally get our power back. Thursday-Monday is a long ass time to have no power.
The lesson of the story is: Be careful what you wish for, you just may get it.
No power has put me way behind and i’m catching up. I should have some killer content coming soon for you guys. Thanks for your support of AdHustler.com throughout the past years and I hope you will spread the word so that we can make 2010 truly memorable. Big things are coming.
