Affiliate Money Grabbers written by Doug Scott

I heard some gossip:

1. Affiliate Window lost money due to paying affiliates but not being paid by merchants who have since gone bust.
2. Affiliate Window needed to raise some money
3. Zanox are offering to bail them out

Anyone heard anything?

Affiliate Window Do

Affiliate Money Grabbers written by Doug Scott

Just a quick thanks to everyone at AW for a great night. If you can scam ticket next year then get one. Thanks Mark.

Unfortunately alchol passed my lips and I became an opionated git and seemed to rant (more than normal) at some lovely lady from Sky. My humblest apologies to you. Any chance of a refund if I grovel:) I am terribly sorry, but believe me when I say every rant was said with a smile inside.

Finally – Jason enjoy the love………I like competitions.

Quidco sold to affiliate network?

So Quidco have said they will no longer work with Affiliate Window:

Gossip is about that they have been offered overrides, part of the networks override, and cash to work more exclusively with another network. So maybe some of AW’s merchants will go to this “exclusive network”.

If it works then the network has closer ties with the largest UK cashback site and many more new merchants.

If I was this “exclusive network” I would have lined this deal up, if it works I will then be ready to buy out Quidco. As a network this gives me a unique offering to all merchants in the future.

If I was Quidco with reduced commissions and more members complaints, plus some merchants not wishing to play any more we need an exit. Here it is, it’s a gamble but it may work. Only 3 have the reach and the ability to support the system

Buy.at – need to grow by acquisition. Have proven by buying buyat leads that they are happy to be their own affiliate.

CJ – have lots of content sites and happy to be their own affiliate.

TD – have never had their own affiliate type business….a weakness or a strength?

Doug guessing???? :)
