If you're registered with Affiliate Window, you'll have no doubt have heard about the Christmas Bonanza Draw they have been running this year.
As Christmas creeps ever closer, so does the conclusion to this draw. This week is week 8 and so is the final week to get a ticket into the big super draw.
Here's how to get your ticket. More
Christmas is bad enough with plenty of "daily deals" to contend with, discount voucher codes as well as the many websites that seem to have recently had a redesign without proper deeplink URL redirection.
So why do networks feel they need to muscle in on this by not replying to emails? More
Affiliate Future seems to be progressing quite nicely in developing a robust affiliate-centric website. Admittedly, their Beta site has a few loose ends (hence why it's still Beta) and there are a few affiliate customer care issues that crop up now and again on A4U, but it's safe to assume that AF are on the way up.
A few websites I'm working on tend to revolve around AF as they seem to have several niches they are very strong in. The upshot is that I'm promoting their merchants more than several other networks.
Xenon is their new data manipulation tool and is set to rock the affiliate world. Having been asked to take part in Beta trials, I thought I would share some of the concepts and the benefits for affiliates.
So here they are! More
Affiliate Window has unveiled a new affiliate contract with some interesting terms. I've gone through the terms and picked out some rather interesting facts and figures which will impact quite a few affiliates. More
Congratulations to Tesco and Tradedoubler who took exactly 479 days (that's 68 weeks and 3 days) to review an application for a site.
I applied back on 19th February 2007 and today I received the outcome. More
I've done it. Over a year I've considered it and today I signed up to Affiliate Window. A look through my archives and you'll soon see that I've been apprehensive about signing up.
Ross and Adam have tried their best to sign me up, answering all the questions I have ever had about them. I pushed it off time and time again but I had a relatively free day today - plenty of time to post links here, there and everywhere!
First impressions? More
2008 seems to be the year that merchants chop and change networks. My affiliate HQ inbox (2000 unread affiliate messages as of this morning) is chock-a-block with messages about programs closing down on network A in favour of network B and so forth.
Whilst this is often a pain, if you run through these in a block, you can also factor in spring cleaning your portfolio. Here's how. More
Do you work for a network and want me to swap links over to you? Do you have an affiliate program and would love to see it being advertised on one (or more) of my sites?
It's easier than you think. Here's what you can do. More
I've registered to too many affiliate programs! In fact, I'm registered with too many affiliate networks. I sign up for programs that may be useful and that I thought may have worked well but inevitably they don't.
In this last year, I've managed to find a couple of good programs and I need to start focusing on sending them more traffic.
So is it worth the time and effort promoting hundreds of programs or just a handful? More
