Affiliate Convention, Joan Rivers, Michael Jackson, and the Advertising Tax [36:18m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadMy co-host Shawn Collins, who rarely misses show, was away on business this week. Filling in for Shawn is the fabulous Scott Jangro, super affiliate and president of MechMedia.
Scott has been on the show many times as both a guest and a co-host. I was delighted he could sit in with me on such short notice.
Of course, Scott and I talked about the death of Michael Jackson. Last week Shawn had a blog post urging affiliates to be sure to update their sites to include Amazon and iTunes links for all of Michael recordings.
Scott said his costume site is selling MJ costumes like crazy since the death of The King of Pop.

Here are some of the other topics we chatted about:
- The winners of the 2009 LinkShare Golden Link Awards
- Jangro and Joan Rivers share a moment
- Commission Junction Goes Green
- Parties at Affiliate Convention got mixed reviews -Melissa Salas of Buy.com tweeted about it
- Amazon is ending its relationship with affiliates in Hawaii, Rhode Island, and NC. Is California Next?
