No disrespect but if you havent got (or cant find) a few hundred pounds to start an affiliate scheme on Affiliate Future I'd be extremely worried about promoting you through any network who didnt guarantee affiliate payments.

Are you part of e2save? (text below from the affiliate bit of your website)

The Gold programme is a fully integrated solution within your existing website. Full product feeds are provided on a daily basis and integration must be completed daily. The gold programme enables you to continue to market a diverse product range within your own shopping basket and encrypted data files are provided back to e2save.com real-time to allow the timely processing of orders.

I would have to second that, so many times you see people say oooh i dont want to spend this, or cant afford to do this. I cant afford many things, so i dont do them.

If you cant afford the setup fees with some of the cheapest of the networks out there then you have just instantly excluded yourself from my pages and many others no matter if you change your mind and find the cash.

My advice, get your business solid, get suitable funding, then do a good job and get started, doing things right to begin with is the key to this, not half attempts, theres too many people doing things correctly already in your industry for us to be bothered with merchants that dont quite make the grade.

They appear to be an e2save affiliate, hence the confusion.

Actually theres a lot of confusion on my part with that web address

http://sellfones283imnotanaffiliateof.e2save.com

notice anything

yes thats right you can put what ya like in there and it still loads

well im not confused as i know whats going on ( Helps being nearly a M.C.S.E

) but for those how dont know read your firewall log

penny dropping now isit

the plot weakens

im off to bed now
erm im slightly confused again you can do that with any e2save shop thats been registered i just tried mine and it does the same but what more confusing is where the images are being pulled from for both his site and mine

but it is late and im off to bed again - no i aint even more suprising was loading e2saves home page and finding the same location where the datas coming from now im really going to bed

Right ive sussed out about the any name thing at e2save what it means is that anyone with an e2save shop dont mess up your links as they will goto the e2save shop but its not your one its e2saves their just taking any dns request for a sub domain at e2save and sending it to a default page so they dont miss anything ( quite a good idea really 1st time ive come across it ) and im thinking about the other bit.......

Thanks "price that for your comment" Its not that i went away when i got a grilling, i have just been off for a few days.

As i have explained yes we are using an e2save product feed.

This is soon to be changing within the next few weeks. As we have had a lot of feed back saying that we are an e2save affiliate and we are nt supplying our own gear and deals, we have decided to have the whole website redisgned and decided to do away with the e2save product feed. This will be replaced by our own.

This change will take place overthe next three weeks.

Ok, so if we ignore the fact your mobile phone deals are from e2save, what about your FAQ which appears to be borrowed from MobileShop.com?

Anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

You don't need money to fund an affiliate programme - or anything online for that matter. There are always companies out there to charge you for what you can do yourself, better. I would start by targetting websites which you can see are already doing well in Google / top search engines. That's assuming you've got something decent to offer them.
