Many of the basic steps taken for granted within the affiliate industry bloggers simply are not familiar with. Several times in monetization sessions bloggers asked "but how do I get started".

Adsense may indeed be welfare but it is simple to implement and there is the added bonus of having to only deal with Google. The complexity of the affiliate space with the many networks and merchant relationships is daunting. This is especially true when marketing is not the primary expertise which is the case with most bloggers.

They want to know how to find ways to support their blog but not at the expense of that search becoming all encompassing.

Yeah that phrase sure got the room talking. Those other tools were shared in a few different sessions. I think one thing us seasoned affiliate marketers noticed was that there was a general lack of knowledge about these programs. I think that is one of the reasons these sessions were so well attended.

"Adsense is “webmaster welfare”."

That was a hoot! I agree with it in many circumstances, but the humor in it, just by itself, overwhelmed me.

Were specific tools like Chitika, PopShops or GoldenCAN come up in the discussions of how to put up contextually relevant products? Seems like any blogger interested in product sales (or profiting of any type) should bone up on these tools.

Also wondered if many bloggers use tools like Bounce.cc where they have reader contributed content. Did that come up?

Ryan, I totally agree. That was probably the one thing I hope that others got out of it too, there are many ways to get revenue from your blog. The entire conference, barring one session, was great.

Thanks for sharing the link. Darren is a great guy, I wish I had more time with him and so many others.

Hey Jamie,

I attended this panel as well and I thought that all had some great thoughts, with the main one being that there's no one way to really capitalize on your blog. Some ways for for Darren and other ways work for Shoemaker. I think that it's very dependent on who your audience is and what type of relationship you have with them on a daily basis.

I actually had the chance to interview Darren – he's such a cool and down to Earth guy…you can take a look at it if you get some free time by heading here:

p.s. I still can't believe that I won one of the dinners that they handed out at the panel…must have been my lucky day or something?

Anyways, great thoughts and hopefully you got something out of the rest of the event, too.
