LinkShare Summit response

LinkShare Japan held an affiliate summit on October 18th at the Tokyo Dome Hotel and it seems like the reaction to the summit was mostly good.  You can read about the summit on Linkshare’s official blog (http://blog.linkshare.jp/). Detailed blog entries with photos can be found here (http://blog.linkshare.jp/2007/10/post_27b6.html#more). According to some bloggers who attended the event, the discussions and seminars were good and helped many better understand the affiliate marketing industry and the role it will play in the future with the increasing popularity of social networking service sites such as Mixi. There were a few murmurs about this not being a free event and how it was held during the week and more than half of attendants was wearing suits. Some affiliates were really happy to be able to talk directly to merchants during lunch.
