Formal Request to Affilinet

[Qui Gon Jinn]

After careful consultation between the moderators, this is a polite formal request to Affilinet to ascertain which programs within your network have closed brand bidding groups, and ask to please submit these to the forum & include within the merchant information details within their own interface.

This will assist towards transparency & a fairer environment for affiliates.

Please could you also confirm that you don't do any ppc at network or employee level, or at least don't make themselves members of closed groups at the same time?

We'd be grateful if you could supply this information and help alleviate some of the issues that have arisen due to closed group activity.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Hi Moderators,

I am going to keep this response brief. We have strategic search policies for all of our clients as it is key to a successful program. We would invite any Publisher who would like to know more information on closed groups to contact us directly. I don't think listing specific activity in a public forum is really how anyone we work with (Publishers, Advertisers and agencies) would expect us to conduct our business.

I would also like to confirm that none of the affilinet team operate as a Publishers. Therefore I can confirm that we do not do PPC at either a network or employee level.

Thanks
