Here I sit dizzy and hungover from the beach party last night, wondering what exactly happened. I can tell you all one thing… PAP people can party. I ended up in the pool at 6am with the sun already up and went in only after the hotel staff told us to keep it down. I really can’t wait to see my minibar bill at the end of my stay because I have drank just about every water and juice box it contained trying to kill this hangover.
Anyways… enough bitching. This conference has been pretty awesome so far. Just about every affiliate program has sent hot affiliate managers out here to recruit affiliates… and as far as they are concerned I promote none of them… yet 
Maybe I can start some type of evil bidding war by the end of this trip to see which new poker site gets top placement.
In terms of actual value provided by this conference I would have to say the SEO session packed the most punch. Bob and Marcus did a great job of covering some shady and not so shady seo tactics. What I found most interesting was the link buying discussion… Ohhhh I bet you wish you came now(Don’t worry I’ll divulge more about this topic when my head isn’t pounding).
The rakeback session bored me to tears since I am not a rakeback guy, but nonetheless the rakeback ballers talked about some good stuff in terms of some of the current issues with rakeack sites.
The keynote was put on by DevilFish (who is quite the entertainer). Thanks again for the drink and the endless amount of jokes Dave! Great stuff. I am sure someone has a video of the “performance”.
Ahh what else can I say… I did happen to meet a cooking apprentice last night who had me trying my best to explain how I make money without adsense, but I don’t think I made any sense as the Carlsberg was flowing generously… anyways just a few shout outs to some people.
I will refrain from making a shout out to the guy who was talking about having “fun” with animals and other forms of competition…….. haha
Big ups to the Paddy Power girls who know how to have fun and take a joke.
It’s time to go ride jet skis, but anyone thinking of coming to a conference should definitely do so. To put it bluntly, there is something about getting face time with certain people that puts you ahead of tons of other affiliates.
I’ll upload some photos when I get back to an internet connection that is faster than dial up.

Nice report! I’m really regretting not going, but I just couldn’t get away for that long.. I really hope someone will post a video of the SEO section, that would be worth the whole trip I imagine. I’d also love to see a transcript of the Rakeback talk too.
Sounds like you’re having fun man, enjoy yourself.

Sounds like a blast, wish I could have gone. I am sure the parties and overall conference were great. Would also love to hear more about the interesting sessions when you get a chance. Welcome back.
sounds like a blast? ‘Twas a blast! For those who were not able to make it, and for those who were there and helped make it a success, here is a video for you to watch. We’ll post more still. For now, find 6 minutes of fun at:
