Biography

Catch me on Twitter - http://twitter.com/matthewwood

Back in 1999 I founded affiliates4u to facilitate relationships between members of the affiliate marketing community.  A community which helped shape the industry in a positive light.

Starting like many affiliates at home, by building a vast array of websites in sectors including gaming, finance and retail, I partnered with a number of freelancers which help to build value –add websites, often working through the night whilst juggling jobs, ranging from customer service at Orange to the local abattoir!

My work included organically listed SEO driven websites which were listed well within both Google and MSN search engines. We were once listed no.1 for the terms ‘shopping’ ‘loans’ ‘flights’ ‘computers’ and ‘finance’.

Through partnerships with those who complemented my skills we also developed in-house paid search technology to facilitate automated  Google Adwords activity way before the Google API was established.

After dabbling with consultancy for start-ups in Affiliate Marketing, where I helped establish the first dedicated telephone tracking solution to stop leakage in 2002 and driving affiliates sales for one business to over 70% I founded Existem Ltd in early 2003. By the end of that year we moved into serviced offices in central Bristol.

Here we developed more technology driven websites within the loyalty sector and have steadily and organically grown the team to eight in our Bristol office.

In 2006 we established our affiliate marketing agency, Existem Affiliate Management.  Later that year we partnered with Mark Russell and Bruce Clayton and still hold a good investment and involvement.

In 2007 we invested a six figure sum in the launch of a4uexpo.com,  Europes very own Affiliate Marketing Conference & Exhibition.  We still organise local networking events across the UK and Europe for the community, and look forward to exapnding these to Europe and possibly further afield.

As an entrepreneur and Managing Director I look after the talented team at existem who continue to develop value add websites, and are currently expanding our social networking sites across many niche verticals.

Hi Matthew, We've just launched our new website which sells lingerie. The site is targeted at men and provides advice through a character - Felicity Spice - to enable them to make the right choice for the woman in in their life. At the moment we are generating traffic from offline sources such as PR and online through PPC etc... but would like to generate more by using affiliates but are struggling to find networks that will accept us. Any advice gratefully received! Thanks Phil Newman

Hi Matthew, You are champion and i wish you all the best with this and any other supports for affiliates. I just wantd to shere this with you that Buy at is The Worst affiliate network i ever worked with. Buy at is the only affiliate network who stops they payment for approved sales. I have over £5000 approved payment and buy at came out with that they are not going to pay me for it. The excuse they are giving is that we cannot reffer people directly to our website.I have spent thousands my self to make about £5000. I have now sent this case to my solisitors but i just wanted to let the affiliate world know that stop dealing with buy at and i will strongly suggest to Merchants not to involve with buy at , as they are a bad immage on your products and your company. I know many people now who has had the same problem with buy at. Buy at is night mare. Never deal with them. I hope my sayings will not be removed from the site. Regards
