New Online News Portal Launches for Digital Marketing Sector

Today we are pleased to announce the new launch of the Affiliates4u website. You’ll find our official press release below, though we’d like to highlight briefly a few of the key changes.

News

The news section will break and cover stories that affect your business as affiliate marketers. You’ll find lots on this within the official press release below including the new ‘Off the Record’ column.

The Pool

The pool offers a significant change to our old pull mechanism. Members of affiliates4u can now submit news and content from the digital and performance marketing space that they feel valuable to their fellow members.

The community can judge whether an article within the pool was helpful, educational or inspiring for them. With sufficient votes an article within the pool may jump to the hot pool and be featured on the homepage, our a4u twitter account and weekly newsletter.

The Hub

The hub offers a platform for companies within the sector to put a spotlight on their projects, news or employees by offering an in-depth profile. Members can easily create and join a company. We’ll be expanding the functionality of this to assist networking, business and communication over the coming months.

We hope you enjoy the new features and the way we have streamlined the site.

Official Press Release

A new online News outlet is going live this month as part of the relaunch of the affiliates4u.com portal, which already holds a key role within the Affiliate & Performance Marketing business community.

Matthew Wood, founder of affiliates4u.com, says: “affiliates4u.com is pivotal within the Affiliate & Performance Marketing world, enabling everyone to share, debate and learn from each other. A key element of the portal is its famous Forum where many an industry development has been dissected and discussed, however, we want to broaden the information source element of the site still further now and News delivery is a key part of this.

”In a sector faced with too many magazine closures, this is therefore a welcome introduction and I’m sure the brand strength and heritage of affiliates4u will be of interest to companies who want to communicate with such a dynamic group within the Digital Marketing industry.”

For over ten years, the affiliates4u portal has been the hub of the UK, and more recently, the European Affiliate and Performance Marketing community, and has provided an online meeting point for the industry to learn, debate and network together. The brand new News element will now expand the portal’s important role still further, ensuring its 40,000 members continue to be kept fully up-to-date and aware of what’s happening around them.

The News section will cover latest news and analysis on all areas that cover or touch Affiliate & Performance Marketing, from social media, SEO, performance-based video, email marketing, third party applications, blogging and voucher codes, through to best practice, web design, conversion & analytics and mobile, technology & data feeds.

The section will also break industry stories and bring fresh competition to the existing digital online and print media pool, providing a new slot for thought leadership and opinion-based articles.

As part of the relaunch, and in true affiliates4u fashion, the new site will also feature a new, cheekier take on the industry called ‘Off the Record’. This section will provide a more relaxed and informal view of latest happenings and events, as well as be a great place to share all of the gossip!

All news releases should be sent to news@affiliates4u.com, whilst any Feature or Opinion ideas should be proposed to Chris Johnson, publisher of affiliates4u.com at chris@affiliates4u.com . Snippets for Off the Record should be emailed to otr@affiliates4u.com .
