I thought it was a great analysis, and perhaps an area of enhancement is to look at the business implications of this trend.

If cookies were the mechanistic tracking mechanism of datamining web properties like Amazon (with their rudimentary “Other customers who viewed this book also liked…”), then the thematic trend manifesting itself in silos and themed site is the human side of create a customer for life.

If you understand the demographics and profile of your customer and their consumer behavior (via heatmaps), you can extrapolate this data and build a human-friendly and intuitive site.

The bottomline is that they’ll come back more often and spend more dollars, isn’t it?

It’s a more attractive USP than a comparison engine which is ramming 100 models of the same digital camera down your throat, and the consumer using the “Display lowest price first” as a criteria for buying.

It appears that her pic might be attached to the Aff Summit profile, while yours might be linked to AffiliateTip?

Well, call me sexist…or a realist, but her profile would get more clicks than your mug…!

Your revver-hosted video is stalling on me. Not sure if it’s related to the mass adoption due to the WP-Revver plugin.

Metacafe seems to work better for me.

Looks like a great parody and I’m looking forward to checking it out.

Depending on the feedback I get (this was the first time I did this angle on an SEO presentation). I may try it again and refine it more for ASW (assuming I’ll be out there again).

Thanks for the coverage!

No idea why Missy is showing up – I’m using my own e-mail address.

Maybe she is hijacking my pic since I impersonated her in a video yesterday: http://blog.affiliatetip.com/archives/video-from-affiliate-summit-london/

Ugh…

Well, we’re thankful that ASE and ASW are preserved for posterity.

PS: Why is Missy showing up as your avatar?

Bad news for you – we didn’t shoot video for this one.
