Please do not post any merchant specific promotions in the main Affiliate Window, they will only be moved or removed!
Thanks,
The affiliates4u team
We have been conducting some internet searches recently with a view to establishing how our affiliates are helping us to market our site effectively.
Whilst performing these searches, we came across your Affiliate ID which is using Google Adwords and the search terms ‘Jason Shankey’.
This is not a practice which merchants condone since it does not specifically target products on our site for the benefit of the buying public. It is not what an affiliate scheme is designed for. It is simply an easy way for affiliates to benefit from the hard work we’re doing to build our brand name.
Because of the significant amounts of money which has been wasted due to this practice, all 6 affiliates will be immediately suspended from our affiliate scheme until the Google Adwords terms ‘Jason Shankey’ are removed.
Please let me know by reply when you have made these changes.
Yours faithfully,
Jason Shankey
Managing Director.
Just for the record, I do not promote ANY merchant via google adwords, just my very own sites. I have also searched using 'Jason Shankey' in Google, and although there are Affiliates advertising under this search term, my Aff# isn't one of them!
Have emailed asking them to 'reinvestigate' and to call me - but thought would warn others incase they also get similar accusations.
I wonder if it has been sent to everyone by accident? This does seems to happen from time to time with AW's system, merchants seem to be sending out emails to everyone that they only meant to send to one person.
If they thought affiliates bidding on their brand name was costing them then theyve now found something even more expensive - affilaite badwill - very expensive to fix
