Unacceptable Affiliate / Merchant Communication / Actions
Bob Saver has started a pretty interesting thread on A4U about the Which? Magazine merchant on TD. He comments:
They are suspending paying out on the programme when the budget has gone(around 22nd Dec) until the end of the month, when the January budget kicks in. But that's ok - there was a couple of days notice. Don't worry about all the carefulFor me 2006 has been characterised by absolutely woeful merchant & network communication. Affiliates have been moved down the order of priorities for both parties.
search engine optimisation the affiliates have been doing - we'll have the trial but we just won't pay for it.
There have been so many merchants that have treated us affiliates like shit. You could say that it's part of the industry and we should just cope with it. But us affiliates should make a stand and name and shame those merchants and networks that don't:
a) give us reasonable notice before suspending campaigns
b) give us adequate notice of a change in commissions
c) don't pay on time
d) inform us that their site architecture will change so deep links won't work
So my merchants that don't give us what we deserve are:
1) Which?
2) Beautyslueth
