Back from Linkshare Symposium

I spent a few days this week in NYC at my first Linkshare Symposium. Being an old Be Free guy, I have to say it was a little strange but that was really only in my mind. Linkshare is not the company it used to be with most of the leadership team gone. Of course everybody there was great, whether they knew me from the old days or not. As...

CU at CJU?

I'm heading to Santa Barbara this weekend for Commission Junction's annual CJU event. CJU is always a treat for me as beyond being a fantastic conference, it's like a big old family reunion meeting up with old co-workers from Be Free and CJ, some of whom are still at CJ and others who have landed elsewhere in the affiliate marketing...

ShareASale ThinkTank a Success

Brian Littleton of ShareASale hosted a unique event, dubbed the ThinkTank, this past weekend, bringing a small group of merchants and affiliates together in Las Vegas for networking and feedback. In stark contrast to the bigger affiliate industry's client events like CJU and the Linkshare Symposium, this was an intimate gathering of a few...

Reflections on CJU

There's nothing like 8 hours of air travel home after a conference to reflect on the events of the past several days. (Though I really I should be sleeping. Who has time to sleep at these things?) First impression of CJU this year: it has grown. There were perhaps 150 additional attendees this year as Commission Junction removed the...

The Link Management Tides are Turning

The following just appeared in the Alerts section in the CJ account manager interface. On August 30, 2006 publishers will notice changes in getting links in the CJ Account Managerâ„¢. This change will make it easier for publishers to choose either HTML or JavaScript links. To reiterate there are no plans to remove support for HTML...

CJ Announces LMI Reprieve but No Reversal

Following the rumors yesterday is news today via an updated FAQ (login required) from Commission Junction that they are easing up on their plans to make a hard cut-over to Javascript links for any newly formed advertiser-publisher relationships after June 23rd. The plan to roll out Javascript-based links (as opposed to plain-old HTML links)...

Opinions expressed are that of my employer

Over the past few years, the message board persona ScottJ has become synonymous with Be Free. For the record, as of the beginning of this October I no longer work for Valueclick / Commission Junction / Be Free. Since then, whenever I stick my head up, I run into someone who hasn't heard that news, not that it's terribly earth shattering...
