  Can we create a US area?
Hi

Just a suggestion that would be interesting to see if others agree with.

I'm sure there are other affiliate managers like myself who look after the UK and US markets. There are also affiliates who operate in both areas. I hang around on abestweb, etc but it would be really good if we had a US Affiliate lounge on here created so that we can discuss the challenges and opportunities that the US brings.

What do people think?

Cheers

Simon

Hi Simon,

I second that idea in another way, how about merging a4uforum.com with a4uforum.co.uk to form an entity.

Having just launched our US website, I approve of that idea.

There did used to be a US version of the forum, but since the update I haven't seen it.

I find Abestweb very un user-friendly

TBH I think it's time all four forums (Australia, Europe, USA and UK) were just merged as one as has been suggested in the past, with separate geographic sub forums.

I like the idea. It would be easy to research on USA merchant programs and obtain latest info on the US affiliate industry..

Thanks..

Hi Simon

Makes sense to have a US section, be good for LinkShare

I'd also like a Retail section, they have gambling, finance, travel etc. But Retail's the big booming area for affiliates in my eyes at least. Whilst the aforementioned areas are probably too competitive today for affiliates

I agree... a US forum wouldmake sense with many merchants/affiliates cross-marketing between different regions.

Seems like quite a good consensus - any mods or anyone from A4U care to respond?

  Re: Can we create a US area?
Yep, I do like the idea. Different territories may present different challenges & opportunities as you correctly suggest, with subtle differences quirks.

I have moved the post to Mod Choice, to ascertain more forum members views.

I think they're busy analysing the stats.

From the above "US Area":

"in Baghdad, civilian deaths have decreased by 75%, which certainly accounts for some of the increased optimism we’re seeing by local civilians and local officials here in Baghdad."

If only they had a statistician on st
