I guess they read this thread and decided to ditch affiliates so they do not get pleasure to ditch them

Following on from Frosties blog post I've now ditched Next from my sites and I won't be applying for their programs elsewhere unless they have a change in attitude which seems unlikely

That's a post I'll back for sure.

It's a dangerous precedent to set if you can be kicked out a program for speaking up about what's wrong with it. I'd encourage anyone who feels the same way to make sure they back the post too.

Absolutely agree.

Merchants reducing themselves to bully boy tactics is distinctly not on.

Good to see that Next's promise of better communication lasted such a long time......

I have removed Next's links from our sites.

Not only should the agency & decision makers merchant side be raised an eybrow to, but also the network(s) who permit this have to come into question too.

Two of the questions they ask are:

Quote:
Do you have a blog? Yes No Please give the url
Do you have an A4U log in? Yes No Please give your username

Seriously? That wasn't on my form, but again reiterates my disbelief in that they "want to understand their affiliates better". Biggest pile of doodoo I have ever heard!
