“Flexibility does not mean Card Blanche and giving up your brand message and control entirely.”

Carsten Cumbrowski, Critical Thinker

Lately, I’ve spouted off about how the cost-per-action/performance based marketing industry is busy shooting itself in the foot and how to improve affiliate marketing. It set off a bit of healthy debate about the future of affiliate marketing. Thanks to Carsten Cumbrowski… who’s one of the brightest critical thinkers in an industry that too often chooses to deal in the simplicities. Performance marketing IS simple and that IS what makes it so adored and widely adopted… BUT. And Carsten is always out there asking questions and pushing for improvement.

Find Out What Works, What Doesn’t
Speaking of critical thinking I’m assembling a panel of experts (including my trusty side-kick-always-there-to-tell-me-I’m-not-necessarily-right-colleague, Lee Gientke) with a wide range of experiences. You should consider joining us in lovely San Francisco on October 1 at Online Market World, a top Web marketing conference run by a top Internet researcher/conference producer, Lisa Morgan.

The Pitch
Here’s my 2 minute pitch on why you should attend this affiliate marketing discussion panel. (listen)

Hey, Carsten… you should consider joining me on a panel discussion some time soon!

I wouldn’t mind, although you’d have an advantage over me… they won’t have a problem to understand you.. compared to me, with my thick German accent hehe.

Gee, time is flying by. I will be out of town to BlockWorlExpo for the rest of this week. I don’t expect you going there, but you never know… you are and consider yourself still a blogger after all.. right?

We got to work on our communication one of these days. Via blog posts cannot be the way… or can it?
