Arg!…
That is a huge reduction. Typical, as I was doing reasonable well with it!

I got this e-mail also, they’ll be coming off my site in due course. I could even have understood 50% reduction as �25 would still be a good CPA. But taking it down to �5? Ludicrous!

“doubt they would reduce salary by internal staff by 0.9% nevermind 90%”

Is that what affiliates are then, external staff? Sub-contractors?

I prefer to think of you as barrow boys

What exactly is the programme? What does the user have to do for you to get the commission?

It is a massive decrease – doubt they would reduce salary by internal staff by 0.9% nevermind 90%.

Is there not a similar program on CJ?

Just checked there and no commission reductions.

Is this a sign of the credit-crunch or of Yahoo’s failing revenues I wonder? Tbh I didn’t even know that they ran this program, too late now though, lol.
