I buy my blanks from them too, but i don't go through that many CD's and DVD's anymore. I probably buy 100Cd's and 25 DVDs a year, so probably not more than £25-30 a year for me.

I've realised I have bought an external hard drive from them in the past.

 

Possibly ink I think as well.

 

I/my brother buys 25 dual layer DVDs every maybe 6 months from there for his XBox360 games. Just bought some this week actually.

 

It's certainly worth doing since quite a lot of people buy from there, any money is better than no money.

Well yeah, but if it is just a few people then getting any money could take years.

I do remember them being a common choice here, but haven't heard about them for a while, so didn't want to signup only to have it be pointless.

But since there does seem to be interest, I'll probably signup when I get home or tomorrow or monday... someone poke me if I haven't done it by then.

omg their website header is /so/ pre 2004 ebuyer.com

Ah yes, ebuyer. The last word on cutting edge web design.

This done yet?

cos I need some blank DVDs and I'll be getting them from SVP (probably)

D'oh, not yet!

I'll mark this as unread and do it when I get home, then post again when done.

WTF!?!




So we have to pay £5 to affiliate window (not SVP), for them to look at our site and decide if they want to allow us to sign up, to affiliate window (which is necessary before even applying to SVP), and if they decide they don't like us they keep the money.


The fact that they do that does give me an uneasy feeling... what do others feel?

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!
