Today is Sunday, August 10th 2009 and I am at Affiliate Summit East in New York City.

This year, instead of taking offline notes, I have decided to take all of my notes right here at kirtok.com. This is going to be my first live blogging event. Let’s see how this will go. (I will be adding pictures and videos later on).

It’s 12.08pm, and the first session of Affiliate Summit is starting in a minute.

Mike Allen, President of Shopping-Bargains.com will be presenting, and I believe Kris Jones of Pepperjam will be managing the session.

AzoogleAds Publisher Appreciation Day

My brother Volkan and I were invited to Azoogle‘s Publisher Appreciation Day on Thursday. We wanted to go to Azoogle’s office early and spend some time with our affiliate manager Michael Boghosian. It was my first time meeting Michael face to face. He turned out to be a great, down to earth guy and we had awesome time.

We have met Michael at Azoogle’s office around 3.30pm, then some other affiliates started coming in around 4pm. We have spent some time in Azoogle’s kitchen chatting with other affiliates and met some smart people.

Then, we had a chance to meet Epic Advertising’s CEO Don Mathis. He also had a surprise drawing for a free ticket to Azoogle’s Playboy Mansion Party. After the short meeting, we have headed out for happy hour in Manhattan. Azoogle was a great host and had bunch of food and drinks for the whole night.

Our final stop was a bar in the city where Epic Advertising COO Charles Nowaczek was playing with his band.

It was a great event. I met many affiliates and affiliate managers. Here are some names I still remember after several drinks;

Kyle Paterson, an affiliate from New Jersey, great guy, we have talked bunch of things through the night.

Jon Fisher of Wickedfire.com, met him first time, seemed like a very nice and quiet guy.
