Jamster UK Update for April
Dear Business Partner,
Welcome to an action-packed update about the Jamster UK and Ireland programs. Some very important announcements are contained. Please read, ponder and respond. Your feedback is crucial to the success of this program.
----------------------------------------------------
1) Changes to keyword buying policy *Very Important*
2) Compensation payment and site update
4) New Incentive for April
5) Crazy Frog remix, Sweety, Mr Chaos, Party Bee, what next?
6) New plug-in creatives
7) New commission for Ireland, have it!
8) Top partners monthly commissions
9) Jamster! current top downloads
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Changes to keyword buying policy *Very Important*
Jamster affiliates are allowed to:
- Buy keywords on PPC search engines such as Adwords, Overture, Espotting or any other kind of pay per search engines.
- Link and/or redirect to their OWN WEB SITE (No longer to Jamster Directly).
Jamster does not allow:
- keyword buying on pay per search engines with Adwords, Overture, Espotting or any other kind of pay per search engines using the brand name keywords 'Jamba' and/or 'Jamster'.
- linking and/or redirecting to the Jamster / Jamba websites with any keywords. Linking and/or redirecting through tracking links (partner links) is no longer allowed.
- using the words Jamba and/or Jamster in the ad text in any form.
In breach of these guidelines, Jamster retains the right to cancel the partnership with the affiliate.
----------------------------------------------------
Why the change?
This update is a direct response to recent changes in Google policy. PPC marketing is a core activity for Jamster! and we do not want to be competing against you directly. This way we can be totally fair and still keep your commission payouts high.
When is this update effective?
This is with immediate effect. We will be enforcing this ruling strongly in order to be fair to all partners. If you see any form of violation, please notify me immediately.
What are the alternatives?
We have worked hard to provide a solution which will minimise the impact of this changes. I am proud to announce new creative solutions which will enable you to quickly and easily build your own high quality landing pages (see additional announcement in this Newsletter).
Also, our White Label Solution will soon be a ‘fully operational battle station’. This will be the ultimate integration solution. White label is now in final Beta testing phase. It will allow you to plug full Jamster content straight into your site with full click-and-buy with farewell to click-and-bye traffic. Announcement of the launch will take place shortly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Compensation payment and site update
The new release v.1_9 is live! It has some useful additions including:
-Flash popup pre-listener for all ringtones
-No mobile select needed for Polytones and colour wallpapers
-Improvements in flow and customer management
With the new release, we experienced some downtime on the Web site during March.
I know that this will have caused some loss of sales for many of you.
In order to remain fair I will increase all commission payouts for March to ensure that you have not lost out.
You will all receive an additional 10% payout for March.
(For example, if your normal commission is £10,000, you will now receive £11,000).
Thanks for your patience during some uncertain moments. Your feedback to me directly and on the forums has been very useful.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) New Incentive for April
Now then… the chance for a bit of fun and also some serious money earning potential.
The Big Keyword Optimisation Challenge:
Selling well right now: The Best of Britian ringtones (A.k.a. Little Britian). I don't need to explain what Little Britain is, right? Yeah but, no but...
The challenge will be to optimise under the search term: "Little Britain Ringtones". I recommend deep-linking on your landing page to searches under "Best of Britain", "Lou and Andy" or "Vicky Pollard" etc.
On 30th April who ever is top on "UK only" Google will receive a great new MP3 player, and probably a lot of sales along the way too.
Let the games begin!
(This incentive will apply to all Jamster UK partners)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Crazy Frog remix, Sweety, Mr Chaos, Party Bee, what next?
The year so far has been impressive, with sales remaining strong. The Crazy Frog has been dominating the headlines, online and offline. He has
been featured across the web, on TV, radio shows and magazines. If you didn't hear Chris Evans play the Crazy Frog to Prime Minister Tony Blair, drop me a line, I will send you a link to the interview, it is hilarious.
New Mr. Chaos creatives will be online in the next two days. They look fantastic.
As ringtone trend speculators, we are all looking ahead to the next big hit of the year. I am still offering you 1000€ if you can find the next star. Keep your eyes open for funny animations or catchy tunes. If you have an idea, send it across to: matthew.elliott@jamster.co.uk
