  Thumbs up ebookers - New Commission Tiers

Dear Affiliates,

We have great news! As of the 1st of July ebookers are revising their commission structure to allow publishers to earn more from Hotel and Car Hire sales. Please see the new structure below:

General Segment Commissions

1% on Flights
6% on Hotels
6% on Car Hire
8% on Insurance
3% on Dynamic Packaging (coming soon!)

Premium Partners (over 50 sales per month)

1.4% on Flights
7% on Hotels
7% on Car Hire
10% on Insurance
4% on Dynamic Packaging (coming soon!)

This structure will replace the old flight bonus system where upper segment affiliates were paid a % of the average order value back on flight sales at the end of the month. You should now be able to judge your EPCs more accurately as all earnings will be in real time.

There is room for further bespoke deals should you have any placements or promotions that ebookers could capitalize on. If you have any suggestions then please contact me with an indication of what a viable commission level might be in return for additional traffic.

Also, coming soon we have dynamic packaging (Air + Hotel) and (Air+ Hotel + Car Hire), on which publishers will be able to earn up to 4% commission!

Any questions then please get in touch

Thanks
James

  Re: ebookers - New Commission Tiers

A couple of questions regarding the ebookers program, id be most grateful if you could answer James:

- Is the phone number removed via an affiliate link? Alternatively do you provide tracking?
- Does a brand bid PPC ad overwrite affiliate cookies?
- Is there a BBG in place?

Thanks

Dave

Hi Guys

In answer to your questions:

Quote:

Unfortunately flight commissions with OTA's are usually low because of the low margins they receive from the airlines. However, hotel and package commissions have much greater flexibility and ebookers are willing to look at bespoke deals with publishers if they feel they can drive significant traffic in this space.

Quote:
- Is the phone number removed via an affiliate link? Alternatively do you provide tracking?
Admittedly the phone numbers on placed throughout the booking process can be a concern for publishers, but ebookers have accounted for the average drop off in the increased affiliate commissions. We are also investigating with ebookers the opportunity to award a commission to publishers who drive call centre traffic, but I cannot yet guarantee that this will be possible.

Quote:
- Is there a BBG in place?
No, there are no affiliates working on the brand terms of ebookers.

Quote:
- Does a brand bid PPC ad overwrite affiliate cookies?
n/a - in this instance there are no brand bid PPC ads.

Thanks
James

Someone seems to be brand bidding on ebookers via a CJ cookie from what I can see. Is the ebookers PPC policy consistent across all the networks they are with?

Thanks for the heads up,

The TradeDoubler T's & C's state that publishers are not allowed to show adverts for a search on advertiser's Company Name and trademarks or against the URL (ebookers - Cheap Flights, Hotels, Car Hire & Holiday Packages)

As for other networks I cannot comment, but I will pass this feedback onto the client.

Thanks
James

Thanks James

With regards to the phone number this debate has been had many times and affiliates just don't like the leakage. If ebookers could look at hiding it for affiliate traffic (technically not difficult) then it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Dan
