Welcome to the forum.
I had a quick look around the site and there are a lot of empty categories in the left menu navigation.
What we really need is a good paragraph explaining exactly what BOT5 has to offer and why should promote it ahead or alongside your competitors.
All I've got so far is "from LCD TVs to Software packages" that's near useless and having looked around the site and found many gaping holes I'm none the wiser. I've bunged some links up but they're unlikely to make any sales from the site as it stands.

Also, as it stands, your product feed is pretty much unusable. It's a shame AWs quality control is so poor, they really should have checked it prior to launch and advised on the necessary changes [Is it just me, or is the average quality of AWins feeds going from bad to worse?].

Your feed is missing the Merchant Category field, "mcat". Instead it just has the AWin category field, "awCat" in which all of your products are simply listed as "Computer Components".

Also, many of your product images are all but obscured by some over-zealous "Bot5" watermarking. There is no way we could feature these images on our site.

You are also missing "brand" and "deliveryCost" fields.

Hope this helps, and please advise if you intend to improve the situation.

Thank you both Renegade and Payg for your feedback.

Renegade, We are working to ensure that the empty categories are populated further. This is something that we are aware of, and are hoping to resolve ASAP. Here is some more information about Bot5:-

I hope that this has helped give a more in-depth idea of why Bot5 should be promoted. If you need anything else from me please do not hesitate to ask.

Payg, thank you for the feedback on this. I am speaking to our technical team to get this resolved ASAP. Naturally, we would like to provide a feed that doesn't have any flaws and I am getting the missing fields looked at immediately. I also think that you are absolutely right about the watermark issue, and we will get this removed ASAP too.

Many thanks once again for your feedback on theses issues.
