Hi,

You may or may not have been in the chatroom earlier and heard some of the conversations I have been having with affiliates.

What we are trying to do at buy.at is get affiliates more involved before a merchant goes live.

We belive that good communication is the key and so to that end we like to pre warn our affiliates of impending merchants who have joined us and are awaiting integration.

This is best done privately between myself and the affiliates.

It will give you time to prepare pages and such like for specific merchants before they go live and give you an edge and a head start.

We also are moving towards a situation whereby if we have a merchant who is coming on board and has signed a contract with us - we like to get feedback from affiliates in the relevant area of trading what works for them and what they would like to have from the merchant to make the program work more successfully.

We can assist the merchant through our own knowledge buts lets be honest no one knows what works on your sites like you do.

Whether it be an offer or a certain creative which would be suitable then you would have the chance to voice this perhaps via us or in a 3 way with the merchant and us before the program goes live.

In this way not only can you tune the new program to maximize sales but also be first in the queue for keywords and pay per click.

If any affiliates want to be involved with us in this way then just drop me a line and ill add you to the list of publishers who we already have input from in this way.

Cheers
