Hear me wax philosophical on APIs and Jabberwockies

Last week I had the delight of being interviewed by Mike Buechele and Trisha Lyn Fawver for their Affiliate Marketing Fanatics podcast on GeekCast Radio.

They’re currently conducting a series of interviews with some speakers at the upcoming Affiliate Summit East (8/15 through 8/17 in NYC).  In the interview, we discuss my work at Adknowledge, APIs in the affiliate space, plus some Lewis Carroll trivia.

If you’d like to give it a listen, please head on over to GeekCast.fm.  Let me know what you think on Twitter.

Joel Comm’s Shopzilla Publisher Program Ebook

Joel Comm just released a free ‘secrets to Shopzilla’ ebook about getting the most out of the Shopzilla Publisher Program.

If you’re thinking about using Shopzilla Publisher to monetize your site, this is a good introduction. Contrary to the title, I wouldn’t say it has any ‘secrets’, but it does have some insight.

Also, one correction: Joel mentions that the program is “contextual.” Though the ads are relevant (and as targeted as the webmaster chooses), they are not automatically drawn from the context of the page.
