Official PPC.bz Nickycakes.com Ad:Tech Party Wrap-Up

People were calling it the best party of Ad:tech San Fran. Others are calling it “just what this industry needs.” And then there’s a few that think it took affiliate marketing a few steps back in the wrong direction.

By the way, this party was in no way endorsed by Ad:Tech. They had nothing to do with it, and will probably C&D me as soon as this is posted. But fuck that, let’s continue.

This party was literally planned a week before Ad:Tech. This is some last minute shit right here. We could go bigger and better next time, but PPC.bz rolls with the punches and gets shit done. So all-in-all it was a pretty fun time for the people that went.

Without further delay, here is the official wrap-up of the party.

First, Thanks to the Sponsors

Without corporate sponsorship, this party would have been a few drunks in a bar somewhere. Let’s have a looksie at the networks that made this party happen.

Convert2Media – The biggest sponsor of the party by far, and true party animals. Well, unless their family is reading this, in which case they are true gentlemen. Mike, Steve, Ruck, and the rest of the C2M committee didn’t think twice when I asked them to sponsor.

If you’re looking for one of the most down-to-earth group of people in a network, honesty, reliability, and all that good shit, hit up Convert2Media as fast as your fat little fingers can take you.

Firelead – What the fuck is a Firelead? I don’t know, but I do know if you convert 100 Fireleads in a week you’ll get a free dinner for 2 at Chili’s.

In all seriousness, Kenna’s network is smaller and more private, so you get some one-on-one love. And really you can’t beat free dinner for 2 at Chili’s. Take Dullspace as your date.

EWA Private Network – Ryan Eagle is like the Chuck Norris of affiliate marketing. One karate chop to the skull and he’ll get you the highest payouts. I don’t know how he does it, but he is a living legend. We gave him a Donkey Rope at the party and he wore it during all of Ad:Tech, and is probably wearing it right now.

His partner Harrison is also something else. Harrison was dying for a shout-out on PPC.bz, so he blazed me out like a champion and requested I talk about him here. Unfortunately, Harrison blazes so much goddamn bud I can’t even remember what happened that night. All I know is … Another Day, Another Dollar, Another Blunt.

Dullspace was the official Donkey Rope sponsor. The PPC.bz Rap game is now official.

Nickycakes.com – I hacked Nickycakes’ PayPal account and got him to sponsor the party too. If you don’t know Nickycakes you don’t know shit about viking helmets. But Nick helped out a lot getting people to the party and it wouldn’t have been as crazy without him.

The Sausage Party Conundrum

Let’s get something straight: The shittiest part of this industry is that its male-dominated. Apparently being 22 and living in your moms basement is a prerequisite to affiliate marketing, and we know that demographic is pretty much all guys.

You would not believe how hard me and Nickycakes tried to make this party even on the gender count. Most of the work was spent inviting the female sex to the party, and while that sounds sleazy, a good party is about social interaction. Sure, guys shot the shit and talked business, but it wasn’t a true party in the sense of the people hooked up and shit like that.

Now, ladies came and went, no doubt about it. But the lure of Acai Berry jell-o wrestling and a room full of guys too caught up in there own world wasn’t enough to keep them there long. If there is another party in the future, I will have to think of something to get over this problem. We’ll have to get a lab of scientists together and spend many weeks and months trying to make it a true, non-sausage party. PPC.bz is accepting proposals of all shapes and sizes.

So if you’re sad that it was a sausage party, then all I can say is we tried. It’s a numbers game and we didn’t get it to work this time. But if your goal is getting laid at an industry party, it’s probably not gonna happen. But I have some Double Your Dating offers that can help in the real world.

Paper Clique Becomes Official

Alright, back to the fun shit that actually happened. Rob Hustle, Mic Davice, UGK, and Dullspace came through with freestylin’ raps all fucking night. This was the first time I met Rob Hustle in real life and the best part was that he looked exactly like how I pictured he would look like. But these dudes can flow, and now the affiliate rap game (AKA the A-GAME) has taken off.

I spent a lot of time outside the bar because that’s where the rappin’ was happenin’. I was so fucked up, it nearly blew my mind how strange the situation was. You know, people rapping about affiliate marketing at an affiliate marketing conference… fuck, it’s just too much to think about.

Here’s Mic DaVice battling Frank D (an employee at the bar we were at that can freestyle).

Rob Hustle and Mic DaVice also took the stage inside the building and rocked the crowd out for like a solid half hour. The lighting and sound was too shitty inside for good video, but as you can imagine it got wild.

Acai Berry Jell-O Wrestling

Ah, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. I haven’t done anything productive since Ad:Tech, so I should’ve posted this sooner. By now, I’m sure everyones seen the video floating around, but if you haven’t here it is.

I’m regretting not posting sooner, because that leech shoemoney’s not giving credit where credit is due, and leveraging his legion of nutswingers to bring traffic to his blog for something he didn’t even attend. I should C&D his ass …. but the video isn’t even mine haha.

Anyway, it started out as innocent Jell-o wrestling, but then a Neverblue Affiliate Manager got in the pool (a couple minutes into the video) and started whooping some ass. Here’s the titties fellas!

Here’s the HQ Version from Shoemoney because my encoding skills are whack.

In closing, the party was still fun as shit despite its short planning time. If you didn’t make it you missed the fuck out!

Also, that’s not really a Neverblue AM. It was just some chick at the bar that decided Jell-O Wrestling would be a great idea. Thanks drunk chick!
