David Fiske Affiliate marketing & web development musings from Fiske Towers

In what has been dubbed the CSN-Factor, several retailers face a suspension from Compare Sat Nav.

Reasons for why this is necessary include

• A shortage of traffic
• Overpriced sat nav systems
• Brand unfamiliarity with visitors

So who has been axed?
 
Here's the list of who stays and who goes:

Staying (more than 30 visitors in 60 days)

• Amazon
• Argos
• Carphone Warehouse
• Comet
• Currys
• Dixons
• ebuyer
• Empire Direct
• Halfords
• John Lewis
• Low Cost Car Audio
• PC World
• Pixmania
• SatNav2u
• Tesco
• The Link

Going (less than 30 visitors in 60 days)

• 24-7 Electrical (achieved 19 visitors over 60 days and generated zero sales)
• Advanced MP3 Players (achieved 20 visitors over 60 days and generated zero sales)
• Jessops (achieved 7 visitors over 60 days and generated zero sales)
• Micro Direct (achieved 9 visitors over 60 days and generated zero sales)
• Misco (achieved 15 visitors over 60 days and generated zero sales)
• Savastore (achieved 9 visitors over 60 days and generated zero sales)

22 retailers become 16. This should deliver better results and deliver a higher quality of results over the forthcoming weeks.

The total product count has now dropped to 321 from 414, though the majority of these products were at the higher end of the price scale where same-system lower priced competition receives more traffic.
