I’ve been spending a ton of time lately working on SEO. It seems like I’ve spent countless hours going over ever piece of my sites, building tons of backlinks, and constantly thinking of how I can improve my search results.
One thing I’ve learned since all my sites are built on WordPress, is that having a good framework is essential to ranking your sites quickly.
Over the years I’ve bought just about every paid theme available, with some claiming to be the best SEO WordPress theme around. While I’ve had success with multiple themes, the one that I use on pretty much all my sites (including my blog) is Thesis.

This past week I got back from New York where I attended Affiliate Summit East 2011, which proved to be one of the best conferences I’ve attended. Every year Affiliate Summit gets better and better and this one was definitely worth it for my business.
Instead of bore you with every little detail of what I did, I figure I’d give you a few highlights and things I learned.

Affiliate Summit East 2011 starts in just a little over a week from today in New York City and I’m starting to get excited. Out of all of the conferences I go to every year, Affiliate Summit is usually my favorite. If you haven’t made plans to go yet, you’re probably a little late as it’s sold out (but you can check eBay I’ve heard).
Are you going?
Merchants
If you’re a datafeed merchant and are going to be there, let me know if you want to schedule a meeting. I’m currently looking for good solid merchants that have decent datafeeds and would love to discuss your program with you.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on my blog and it’s time for me to wipe the dust off and get writing again. I’ve had a few people ask me to write an update to the Niche Website Challenge that Chris Guthrie, Joe Sousa, James Seligman, and I started back in February and so I figured I’d give you an update.
If you don’t remember that post, check it out here to see what our competition was.
Thinking over the past few months it would be easy to consider the challenge a failure, but it has been far from it as it has taught me a lot of things.

In 2 weeks (May 25th-27th) I’ll be headed to Chicago for the ShareASale ThinkTank 2011 Remix conference. All I have to say is if you’re in affiliate marketing and aren’t going than your nuts. I’ve been to the past ThinkTanks in 2009 and 2010 and believe me, it’s not an event that you want to miss.
Unlike other conferences, ThinkTank is a pretty small event (usually a few hundred people), which means it’s great to relax and talk shop. Most of the time after big conferences I feel wiped out at the end, but haven’t felt that way at the end of previous ThinkTanks.
