April was a very busy month. Depending on what events you attended there’s a good chance you were living out of suitcase to keep up with last month’s conference and trade show circuit. I admit I was fortunate not have to spend any time in an airport this month as San Francisco played host to both Ad:Tech and the Web 2.0 Expo.

Nearly everyone I talked over the past two weeks while exhibiting at the shows and making the rounds through panel sessions and social functions has been enthusiastic about the business climate and new technologies for online marketers in the second half the year. It was also great to hear such great candid feedback about the magazine and websites. End-user participation was one of the prevalent themes at both events.

As you begin planning for the second half of the year let us to bring you up to speed on what’s coming up with the magazine. We are currently working on our upcoming Issue 23, which will be the summer edition of the magazine. There are still premium ad placements available in this issue that will have bonus distribution at events such as: Affiliate Summit; Ad:Tech; Search Engine Strategies and eTail. The ad closing deadline is May 23.

During Ad:Tech we announced that Revenue is currently securing ad placements in a special edition of the magazine entitled Revenue Gold: 2008 Industry Sourcebook, which will be published in conjunction with Issue 24 in September 2008. Please contact our advertising and sales team to request a copy of our 2008 Media Kit and learn more about upcoming availability and rates in the magazine, website and weekly newsletter.
