And The Award For Best Network Blog Goes To ...
To me communication from network to affiliate is absolute key to the performance of both groups. I detest the endless amounts of emails about from merchants via networks that I have no interest in.
I'd dearly love to find a way for networks to rationalise and organise their communications to allow us affiliates to sift through them automatically rather than get millions of emails every single day.
One way I like is for networks to have blogs and categorise their information (label it) against a particular type of announcement, such as vouchers etc. They should also label any news by industry that particular merchant is in. This would allow us to be notified of information that we're actually interested in - and not make me waste a good 1/2 a day deleting a load of (to me) rubbish.
The network blog that I find most fits my needs for categorising and organising news is the Webgains Blog. They could do that extra step and categorise by industry, but it's light years ahead of every other network blog.
Well done Hero and everyone else!

Hi Lee,
We're really pleased you like the blog. I've taken your comments concerning categorisation into account and if you check out the blog now you will see that posts are also categorised according to industry to make it easier to find what you're after.
If there's anything else about the blog you think could be improved (or indeed about the network generally) then please let us know!
Kind regards,
Kier Marston
