Last night, a bunch of local SEO and affiliate marketers got together at the Steamworks Brewing Company at the edge of Gastown for a little get together. Steamworks gets its name from the famous Gastown steam line that runs through the premises. The Gastown Brewing Company, which is located onsite and brews Steamworks beers, uses steam to fire its kettles. Steamworks claims the instant heat of steam allows for greater brewing finesse, and most importantly great tasting beer.

Trying Steamworks brewed beer with a bunch of crazy affiliate marketers is nice but the place is also a nice restaurant that serves an assortment of burgers and west coast cuisine. Among some of the attendees were Greg Morgan, Stephen Fung, Ian Lee from Affiliate Marketers Alliance, Gilbert Jason Bailey from Millnic Media and Billy Solaczek.

We discussed a range of topics dealing with SEO and affiliate marketing but it was mostly an informal gathering to do some networking and make new friends. It was great to meet everyone. Sorry I didn’t get all your names. I’m looking forward to the next one.

    There are actually better places around that area, but Steamworks was sort of a dot com hang out before the first Web 1.0 bubble burst. I remember going to a bunch of Dot Com parties there until all the money ran dry. The food isn’t that great, but the atmosphere is alright.

    John,

    Did you see that Casey Serin is selling his Blog - again?

    I am not promoting this, but I just wondered if you ever considered buying another blog? Maybe it’s not a right fit for you, but just wanting to hear your thoughts.

    Watching Casey is like watching a train wreck happening in real time. He will have problem selling his blog because it’s based on Casey. Just like I would have problem selling John Chow dot Com.

    Isn’t that the truth!

    I feel so sorry for that kid. I really think if he would listen to someone with some sense he could have really made a living from his blog.

    Lord knows I would have some haterz if I told everything that ever went on in my life.

    Thanks for replying John. I was curious to know your thoughts.

    I love places where they brew some beer right on the spot. Usually most of it is a bit rough, but you can always find one or two that’s simply awesome.
