Best affiliate incentive ever - Sky

I love incentives. I really do. Even the small incentives that give you the chance to win say a mobile phone, iPod or TV incentivise me to work closer with particular merchants. But…every now and again incentives crop up that money just can’t buy.
This is one of them.
Sky are giving 5 affiliates the chance to [...]

Kieron, how do you find special offers to feature on your site?

This is one of the questions that I get asked most frequently, take this colourful email I received the other day for example:
Hello Kieron,
How are you? Full of beans, I fervently hope.
I’m Sam and I’m currently freelancing for xxxxxx. I was rather hoping you might be able to give me a spot of advice - I [...]

One quick and simple rule if working with overseas affiliates….

What I’m listening to right now: Usher Ft Young Jeezy - “Love In [...]

Pepperjam launch the Pepperjam Affiliate Network

My fellow panelist at the Meet the Super Affiliates seminar last year at the A4U Expo, Kris Jones has just launched a new affiliate network, Pepperjam Network.

What happened to the Christmas spirit?

Sometimes words just fail me. I had no intention of blogging on Christmas day but the reaction of some affiliates today has really wound me up.
Over the last few weeks Affiliate Window have been running a promotion whereby they have given affiliates the opportunity to collect up to a maximum of 8 virtual gold coins [...]

DGM UK announced today that they completed a management buyout of their UK business. Carl Davis and John Porter will lead the new UK company, although DGM PLC will retain a shareholding. In effect however, the UK business is now an entirely separate autonomous business and as such will operate individually from the PLC.

The Buy.at WidgAt

I’m not normally one for Widgets but despite the cheesy name I really like the Buy.at WidgAt.
If you login to the Buy.at interface you will see a link to the WidgAt on the left hand side. Simply follow the instructions to download (you need to download the Yahoo! Widget Engine too) and you will be up [...]
