The final numbers are in for Affiliate Summit East 2010 and we ended up with 3,527 attendees – the biggest Affiliate Summit East to date.
We are very excited about the sustained growth during such a fragile economy – it’s a testament to the strength of the affiliate marketing space, even during a recession.
As far as the types of attendees at Affiliate Summit East 2010, once again the biggest group were affiliates.

MissyWard.com runs on the Thesis Theme Framework
If you’re an affiliate who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, HTML, or CSS, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via extensive hooks and filters. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.
Those of you who are “in between,” like myself, can use the fantastic Thesis User’s Guide and world-class support forums to make more professional customizations than you ever thought possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it allows me to build sites with a much more targeted focus on monetization than ever before. You can find out more about Thesis below:

That’s a huge increase – and well-deserved. You and Shawn do an amazing job!
This might sound dumb, but what is the difference between a Vendor and a Merchant?
No question is dumb!
A merchant is a an entity selling goods/services using various means including running an affiliate program. A vendor is an entity that provides services to merchants, affiliates, networks, etc. — such as software services, consulting services, website hosting services, etc.
Grats on the impressive ~15% YoY growth! I’m hearing it was a great show.
Thanks Geno. You were missed! Hopefully Shawn and I get to see you at ShareASale ThinkTank.
