It’s almost time for eComXpo – the Virtual Trade Show for affiliates and search marketers. This year the tradeshow will have over 40 presentations, 7,000 attendees and 200 exhibitors. eComXpo provides all the benefits of a top tradeshow without the cost, travel or hassle normally associated with traditional events. The event is 100% online, virtual and free. The show runs October 24-26 and you can cruise in and out at your convenience. Are you registered yet?

Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Ad Center, Linkshare, AzoogleAds and many other search and affiliate marketing companies are exhibiting and will have reps there you can talk to. 5 Star isn’t exhibiting because then I’d be stuck in the booth full-time for 3 days. I find that being able to cruise the show, visit all the booths and hang out in the chat room is a better way for me to network. Here are a couple of the affiliate educational sessions I think sound interesting:
