The other side of the coin... if they don't steal the £5 and actually agree to accept us, there are quite a few affiliates (in addition to SVP) that might be worth signing up for:

- 7dayshop.com
- Pixmania
- Maplin Electronics Ltd
- Firebox
- iwantoneofthose.com

(To name just five from the computers & gadget categories.)

any us sites?

Dunno - it's a UK company but may well have places that sell to US too.
Probably simplest for you to have a look in the affiliate window merchant directory and see if you recognise any names?

http://www.prezzybox.com/about/affiliates.aspx

Um... some kind of explanation of the link would be great?

Is that a US website that Matty might use?
A website that you already use frequently?
Or is there another reason for posting it?

Prezzibox is similar to firebox.com and may be of use to people on here buying stuff (through forum affiliation), perhaps. That's all.

Ok. There's plenty of similar ones to that I think, so best thing might be to compare prices and commission rates and work out the best value ones.


Anyway, still need to make a decision on joining affiliate window first - does anyone actively object to the £5 entry fee?

Not I, if it gives us access to lots of other affiliate schemes, should we pass their test, then it'd be worth it.

That's what I'm thinking - I don't like it at all, but the benefits are sufficient that I'd be willing to take the risk.

But I don't want to just push ahead and do it without checking if there's major disagreement.

Joining Affiliate Window seems like a good idea to me too.

I object to it on the grounds that they, surely, get a percentage of every referal we make anyway, so charging us for the pleasure of reviewing our site to see if we'll make them money seems a bit shit to me.

 

But then we don't really have much choice!
