I was out sick for this show (it was taped last week, since Lisa Picarille and myself were at LinkShare Symposium yesterday), and Sam Harrelson filled in for me.

Sam and Lisa welcomed blogging and video maverick, Jim Kukral.

Topics discussed included affiliates using video to get noticed, Jim and his video experience with RackSpace, how affiliates can get started with video, how to blog in an entertaining way, and bringing the fun back to online marketing.

Google has expanded the scope of their Pay-Per-Action (PPA) pricing model for AdWords, launching a global beta in some 24 languages, according to MediaPost.

The Google Pay-Per-Action beta kicked off in March 2007.

Now advertisers who have enabled conversion tracking, and received more than 500 conversions from their existing campaigns in the past month will be automatically added to the beta on a rolling basis.

Functionality to create PPA campaigns will be integrated into the AdWords accounts of qualified advertisers.

Lisa Picarille of Revenue Magazine recaps LinkShare Symposium 2007.

The LinkShare Symposium 2007 took place on June 20 at Chelsea Piers. It pas a packed day of networking and information.

The day kicked off with a keynote from Don Tapscott, Chief Executive of New Paradigm and best-selling author of Wikinomics. Don had some really interesting things to say - one of the best keynotes I’ve seen.

I attended some interesting sessions, as well, including Partnerships 2.0, where the panelists discussed the integration of emerging technologies and affiliate marketing.

One of the panelists was from a company called VideoClix, and he shared some demos on their dynamic, clickable video solution.

Exciting times on the horizon.
