    Good afternoon a4u,

    After jumping on the forum today and reading some of the sticky threads what struck me was that most of us do not seem that happy, where’s the Christmas cheer? Surely we should all be over the moon heading towards year end? IMRG have just reported that November was the biggest ever month for UK online sales.

    £3bn of cash was pumped into the coffers of online retailers, representing the fact that many shoppers will have spent at least £1K each online this year. Of this, a fair sized and growing chunk is due to the advertising efforts of hard working affiliate marketers; the adaptable and most opportunistic of which have never had it so good.

    Based on this, and in the spirit of the festive period I thought it would be a good idea for us to share what we have achieved this year, and to thank those that have helped make things possible.

    The biggest achievement for me this year is the growth of A&L’s current account programme. Since the start if the year it has romped away, well ahead of all expectations. I’d like to thank all affiliates and our account management teams at OMG & CJ which have helped promote these products. Here’s to an even better 2007!

    Has anybody else got any good memories from this year or successes they want to share? Surely we all owe a few thanks?

    Best regards

    FAO all A&L affiliates – our Christmas prize draw is running to month-end, currently there are less than 50 contenders for the £300 prize. So good odds if you can reach the 5 accepted applications threshold!

    My best memory of this year was trying ppc out for the first time. Having drifted a long for 8 months getting 3 or 4 sales a week, I fired up ppc and within the first 2 hours I had 7 sales.

    The feeling of everytime I hit the refresh key I had a sale was amazing!

    Of course you had to be there

    A Christmas thank you to the person who just purchased £10k worth of flights to Tokyo - A nice commission!

    Best newcomer for me has been A&L Loans - as long as some get approved

    Im just going to shout a big general thank you to the entire affiliate community (even the ones that don't promote us.........yet!!!) not only for helping us to improve our sales by a factor of 10 this year but also for keeping me entertained on the forums

    Our biggest achievement this year has to be taking the jump into affiliate marketing (yes it was scary) and making it work (well thats not just down to us is it).

    Enough bum licking for now

    Nice positive thread - we're all full of Xmas cheer here at Alf Towers!!

    Biggest achievement this year was in July, when for the 1st time our Retail revenue overtook our gaming revenue, and the realisation came that maybe it was something, just perhaps, we shoudl have taken a peek at a wee bit earlier!!! Haven't looked back since, and Xmas has definitely been great for us.

    All the best,

    Alf and Team

    Thanks should also go out to Matt and team for assisting in the development of the channel, constantly stimulating debate and free discussion.

    Some people may have bemoaned the move to events you actually have to pay for but to me it just indicates that 2007 will be the year affiliate marketing goes big time. I for one am looking forward to a UK affiliate summit, that will be a real milestone...

    Cheers Matt and everybody at Existem!!!

    I'd like to be smiling, but I have just had my worst month ever (since records began). For the second year running Google have re-jigged on the run-up to Christmas and all my sites have gone down, way down as Elvis would have said. So Mr Google will not be on my card list next year.
