  • Affiliate Marketing 101 – co-authored guide for Webmasters to succeed as affiliates
  • Organizer and moderator of the Performance Marketing Summit in November 2002, which spurred on the networks to establish policies regarding affiliates using adware, BHO’s, etc

Recently, he was the CEO of XBlock Systems, and he’s now Senior Director of Greynet Research at FaceTime Security Labs. His projects and work include the popular SpywareGuide, X-RayPC Process Analyzer and working with the Federal Trade Commission to help shape spyware policy as well as the co-creation of two patent-pending technologies to contain unwanted software on corporate networks.

Wayne was unable to make it to the Affiliate Summit conference, and his award was accepted by Jim Kukral, Publisher of ReveNews.
