Just received this, what a shocker:

Dear Affiliate,

I am writing to inform you that it is with regret that Search Logic plc is closing the Affiliate Network. The reason behind this decision is that the Network has not been growing at a sustainable rate despite the best efforts of all staff involved and as such we have decided to focus the direction of Search Logic on our primary online marketing services of SEO, PPC and Website Development.

All existing active campaigns will be closed on February 29th 2008 to enable you to have reasonable time to remove any banner advertisements from your website by this date. All commissions will include any cookie activity as per the 30 day time period and will be paid out electronically using the bank details supplied through your Affiliate Control Panel Log-in upon receipt of full funds by the advertiser for the activity. Should you have any questions relating to this then please do not hesitate to contact accounts@searchlogic.com.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and wish you all the best for your future dealings with Affiliate Networks.


Kind regards

Simon Cleaver
CEO
Search Logic plc

My view (may be incomplete) is that the public face of Search Logic weren't given the support that I would have expected.

I wish all the people that used to work there all the best. Especially Darren - a very pro-active, sincere account manager. I'm sure it won't be long before another agency snaps you up!

Is the couch going on eBay?

In defence, Darren Newmark and the back end team really helped us all the way.

Yea Neil told me this before, real shame

they had great casino commision rates aswell, best iv seen around !

Didnt want to post a message about this because Neil said he might, but he's very busy sorting things out as the rest of the team have already left.

Hi everyone, I told Michael this morning as soon as I heard the definitive affirmation that the Network was being closed. I tried desparately to keep it open, but the decisions that were made were at a level of seniority to high for me to negotiate successfully with.

I would like to apoplogise to all the merchants, affiliates, well wishers and friends that came on the journey with us - without you we wouldnt even have got off the ground.

I feel like I have let everybody down - the London team were a fantastic bunch of people and I regret the fact that between us we couldnt build a sustainable model in a fast enough timescale.

Good luck to Nick, Darren and Emma - and indeed good luck to Simon and the SearchLogic team up at Lancaster.

As for me...I'm not sure what I am gonna do now - probably wait for the dust to settle, gather my thoughts and plans, learn from this and come back stronger.

If I can help with anything in the meantime, its probably best to MSN me at TheBoyMitchell@hotmail.co.uk or email me at the same address.

Good luck everyone and thanks for the opportunity to work with you.

Until next time...

Man, you and the team did the best you could and you shouldn't need to feel like you have let us all down, things like this happen and is out of your control. But hey, thats life, i guess now you all just have to look forward and see what the future brings you.

Remember Neil our little talk

Thanks for all the messages...

It's a very sad time for the affiliate side of Search Logic however the SEO and PPC channels are still running and are as strong as ever! Any clients running through either of these channels should not be alarmed by this news.

I am still working on the affiliate channel and will be for the next couple of weeks to ensure the closure of the network is as smooth as possible, should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me -

Lastly I would like to thank everyone for their support and wish the best of luck for the future to Search Logic, Neil, Darren and Emma
