We're running a competition and the winners will get a free football shirt of their choice. We're also working on some content that they can update ...
It looks like, but we haven't finalised the details, we'll create an alternative Euro 2008 tournament. The idea is that we match the games that are actually being played with shirt sales and create alternate group tables - just for a laugh.
It needs some thought I know, but I wanted merchants to contribute directly to some of my blogs as they often have the most relevant information and the desire to make it work.
I'm sure that there are many affiliates that think I'm barking, but I believe in trusting merchants and building strong relationships with them in my key areas. They know its not in their best interests to take the ....
Would any of you affiliates let merchants contribute to any of your sites/blogs? If not why not?
If there are any non-football shirt merchants that would want to contribute to the site then let me know (top right of the blog). It regularly gets around 2,000 visits a day so it'll be worth your effort.
p.s. Would Affiliate Window affiliate 73195 please stop bidding on their brand! They don't allow it!

Hope this one went well.
