It's true, they scheduled Vinny in the other room, luckily Tony Pantano and I were in the room to fill in the gaps in dispelling myths about search engine affiliates. As Tony pointed out Mike Jacobs probably propagated more myths than he dispelled. I think the only true statement made in that session was that the companies goals should be to make the most amount of sales at the least cost. The how to do that left a lot to be desired. It's a critical time in the market right now where you have agencies protecting their turf and trying to squeeze out good search affiliates so that they can "protect" 100% of their campaign and avoid any potential overlaps, instead of doing what would be best for the company whose goal is to get the most amount of sales at the least amount of cost. Good agencies and good affiliates make a killer combination it's only the not so good agencies that don't want to look bad that try to push out the affiliates from the companies display URLs and in doing so actually do more harm than good for their clients by pushing good long term partners to their competition. We actually caught up with Mike at the cocktail party after the session, and he basically said, there wasn't enough time to provide both sides of the debate, and everyone needs to make a buck. Nice! CJU was a great networking event, but the content this year had a lot to be desired. They have been very careful about the message the were presenting in past years, this year I felt that having a presentation like this, and what I heard of the Myspace presentation was either laziness or irresponsible. Adam Heather,
