Session -- The Evolution of Affiliate Marketing
Last year, MarketingSherpa estimated that affiliates worldwide earned $6.5 billion in bounty and commissions in the areas of retail, personal finance, gaming and gambling, travel, telecom, education, publishing and forms of lead generation other than contextual ad networks. Far beyond revenue sharing, today's affiliate marketing channel is evolving more and more into performance marketing and playing a larger role in online marketing strategies. This panel, moderated by Rosalind Gardner, CEO of Webvista, Inc., will help attendees understand which industry sectors are the most active for affiliate marketers and those that are poised for the greatest growth. Manhas and other panelists will discuss the pros and cons of running affiliate programs in-house versus using third-party services to track referral traffic or sales. The audience will learn how advertisers are connecting with publishers through affiliate networks, and how to extend and protect brands through affiliate marketing.

WHEN: Thursday, November 8 at 4:15 p.m.
