Hi all

Thanks for your interest in Eurostar. We launched our program yesterday and we hope that it proves profitable for you.

As mentioned, feel free to use Eurostar text links on your site but unfortuantely Eurostar cannot be used on PPC activty.

We've placed some creative for the program but if there is other size formats you require (buttons etc) let me know and I will arrange production.

Any other questions about the program please contact me through the forum.

Best wishes

Hi Luke

Welcome to the forum and the clarification re Eurostar wording.

Good luck with your programme.

If you have a browse through the forum, particularly the affiliates lounge - you will notice that we are all very concerned about 180 solutions and other parasites - would be good if you could confirm that Eurostar will not knowingly work with them.

Hi Kbudden

Thanks for your note.

I can categorically say that we will not knowingly deal with 180 solutions or any other spyware affiliates. Any affiliates that we discover using this software will be removed from our program.

In my previous posts I've highlighted my concerns in this area and I've forwarded these to TD. I'm awaiting a response.

Until then, any other pointers you can give me in this area would be gratefully received.

Best

Hi Luke can you get your design team to design eurostar banner size "Dimension: 120x60" please.

[Eurostar]

Hi Zaq

No problem. I will let you know when it's done and on TD.

Just to clarify on PPC activity you're welcome to use terms like;

London to paris
channel tunnel train
weekend in brussels
travel to europe
etc
etc

Just as long as it doesn't include Eurostar in the term.

Thanks, Luke
