Merchants, Networks and Affiliates Open Disclosure

I was at the IAB meeting last week and an issue was raised. The issues was that merchants and networks sometimes reject affiliates from a program as they do not really know what that affiliate does.

There were numerous suggestions to fix this including:

affiliates to have a simple site showcasing their main sites
affiliates to update their profiles on the affiliates4u forum

We already run www.asapventures.co.uk but I have also updated our a4u profile

Seems like a good and simple idea.

Now we wait for the merchants to disclose what the rules are that they use to remove sales…deduping etc:) Seems only fair that affiliates can see when they will be paid and when they won’t be. Disclosure can’t only be one way.

Ps. Sorry to Paul Lowndsy as I met him on Thursday and he seemed a nice bloke.
