We had a pleasure to interview Jonathan Volk, one of our very good friends, and a very successful affiliate marketer. Jonathan is the founder of Surge Marketing, a performance marketing company. Jonathan is best known for his blog "JonathanVolk.com" where he blogs about tips & strategies people can use to increase their PPC marketing efforts.
During Ad:Tech SF 2009, Jonathan and I had a lengthy interview about scaling PPC campaigns. Specifically we asked how he has scaled to over $300,000+/month in commissions, to learn how he did it watch the video! To read more of his stuff, visit Jonathan's blog, or follow him on twitter at: twitter.com/jonathanvolk.

I've been waiting for this to go up since I saw you guys recording back at Ad:Tech!
If anyone has ever met Jon they will tell you that he is one of the coolest guys in the biz.

The video is great - just doesn't stream on viddler! It stops every 10-15 seconds for about 10-15 seconds. How about using youtube instead?
Rashid.

Video seems to be very interesting. Wish I could watch the whole thing. It will not completely load on my computer.
Rohail Rizvi on Jun 02, 2009 at 2:52pm
Same issue here. Video keeps buffering every 10-15 seconds.
Vlad on Jun 02, 2009 at 3:35pm
nice video, but nothing about profit. the best question would have been how much is profit from the 300k.
audax on Jun 02, 2009 at 10:05pm
Having problems with streaming like some of the others. Stops every few seconds with "Loading..."
TalkingRhino on Jun 03, 2009 at 7:42am
Great video but had the same problem as Rashid. Had to wait for it to completely load before I could watch.
Wes Mahler on Jun 03, 2009 at 3:20pm
We've fixed the video loading time, it should be fast now

Joshua Kopac, 16 year old affiliate marketer is known to the affiliate marketing industry as a true scammer. I heard he stole like 200,000 bucks from his old business partner and kept a bunch of affiliates' money!
Anthony Lipari on Sep 15, 2009 at 2:43am
Just look at how happy he looks, he didn't stop smiling through the whole interview! Truly inspiring, let's hope we can all be this successful :D

Sorry to say, there is only fluff in this interview. No solid information. Such a shame.
Dan Lew on Oct 26, 2009 at 4:18am
It's an awesome accomplishment!
