Associate Programs Newsletter #450

A few dramatic things happened this week. The Winter Olympics finished, we received record rainfall in our region that was otherwise in drought, and in an even more dramatic turn of events, I turned 33. :)

I think the fact that I'm getting older is starting to impact my patience for idiotic statements as you'll see in my blog post this week.

Plus, a couple of special deals that I've organized for you. One in particular is for my fellow countrymen and women of Australia!

1) Is PPC dead?
=========================================

Have you heard lately that PPC is dead?

It is a notion that has become fairly popular among a vocal group within the affiliate industry.

I reckon it's absolute nonsense and I discuss why in my latest blog post.

Plus I give 7 strategies to build a strong affiliate business using Pay Per Click marketing as a cornerstone.

Read all about it here:

Is PPC dead for affiliate marketing?

2) Attention Australians - a special deal!
==============================================

If you live in Australia, I've organised (I'll use Australian spelling now) a special deal for you.

I dunno about you, but in my experience most of the online marketing events in Australia have been a bit average, compared to some of the ones I've enjoyed in the US.

I couldn't help feeling a lot of the time like there was a lot of "Big Fish in a Small Pond" kind of mentality at some of these Aussie events.

However, one event that I enjoyed a lot last April was the Search Marketing Expo (SMX) in Sydney.

It was a 2 day event with strong speakers and generally smart attendees who were keen to chat and share their experiences.

I was stoked to hear that this year they are dropping the basic content and it is all intermediate and advanced.

The speakers they have lined up are some of the best in the world. The cool thing about it is that because it's a small event, you get really easy access to chat and network with the speakers.

Check out the speaker line up here:

I spoke with Barry Smyth (the guy who runs it) today and twisted his arm a little to get you guys an even better deal.

Use the coupon code: superlever

You'll get an extra 10% off the already reduced earlybird price, 10% off the networking event, plus a free t-shirt thrown in.

If you want to improve your search and social marketing hugely, and get to meet key figures in the industry first hand, I highly recommend this event.

I've already booked, so if you do decide to go, send me an email at jay (at) superlever dot com and we'll catch up for a chat and maybe a beer.

Check out all the details here:

http://www.searchmarketingexpo.com.au/

Here is the registration link with the coupon already in there.

I hope to see you there. It is going to be great.

4) Thought for today: Achievement is connected with action
