    I have mainline affiliate programs on my sites -- Amazon, CJ, eBay, etc. I also run PPC ads (AdSense, Shopzilla, very little Chitika these days).

    I'd like to meet some of these folks in person and am considering a conference. There's always other skills I could hone, but I'm mainly interested in networking, revenue, conversions, maybe some SEO stuff.

    What's the best conference for me to attend? I've heard that Affiliate Summit is more of a party than anything else and I'm considering PubCon or Blog World Expo. Comments?

    I would say that any of those 3 that you go to are going to be worth it. As far as them being a party well 90% of all AM confences are in Vegas, coincidence i think not. I think some of your best networking goes on when you have had a few drinks.

    Affiliate Summit is by far the best for affiliates. Years ago it had the party reputation but not any more.

    It's grown by leaps and bounds and it's the only one you mentioned where you will find the majority of large merchants and networks.
    The conference sessions are very good and the networking is priceless.
