Pixmania and Affiliate Window get discount codes completely and utterly wrong

As an affiliate active in a lot of sectors I get bombarded with literally hundreds of emails from merchants, agencies and networks on a weekly basis.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I run UK Offer Media Ltd. I thought it would be fun to post a daily (well hopefully daily) blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing and more specifically Affiliate Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.
