Some news while I was gone

It seems that 10 days in affiliate marketing is quite a lot.

Here are some news highlights that I think are worth mentioning:

First off, I'm sure everybody knows Affiliate Summit West is going on right now. I really wish I could have been there but there is always another conference just right around the corner. You can read about ASW on most of the big blogs. I really have enjoyed reading Zac Johnson's blog with some updates on ASW.

Next, some pretty great news is that Yahoo Search Marketing is now allowing direct linking. Wahoo. That's pretty sweet! For campaigns that I direct link on, you can read my post on "the easiest $200 I ever made direct linking" and "affiliate landing pages."

Lastly, Microsoft is no longer doing an affiliate program for Microsoft Adcenter. What? How lame. This program was a pretty good one but it seems that they have decided to discontinue it for now. Bummer. I wonder why.

It's so good to be home.

I never want to eat chicken curry again! Haha. We had it 2 times a day, every day, while we were in India. I have steaks on the menu three times this week to make up for it. Hahahaha.

I'll upload some pictures of my trip in this post sometime later this week after I catch up with work (and emails).
