Affiliates4u
Affiliates4u is a business ‘dating service’ that has becomepart of the £2bn Affiliate Marketing sector as part of a major revamp of a4uforum, the UK’s No. 1 portal for Affiliate Marketing in the UK, to become a social networking site for the industry.
The new service, which profiles match businesses and suggests partners for both Merchants and Affiliates, is one of the unique new features to be found on the new affiliates4u (www.affiliates4u.com) website which has been created to support the many relationships found within this dynamic sector.
Matthew Wood is the managing director of affiliates4u, and company Existem Ltd.
Members of affiliates4u are able to build a network of friends and colleagues, create communities for vertical sectors as well as access news & features that may be relevant to their working relationships.
The a4uforum networking forum remains a key part of affiliates4u, however the new site also features Expert Bloggers, on topics such as Paid Search and SEO, as well as a Merchant and Affiliate University which is populated with advice on best practice and starting up as either an Affiliate or Merchant – representing a first port of call for anyone new to the sector.
Members within the community are also able to add their own Blog to the Aggregator, and have the ability to ‘back’ or ‘slap’ other posts, enabling the community to vote on what is worth reading or not, and thus break through the noise of a more traditional forum offering.
In addition, visitors have the opportunity to create an event and invite members to join, plus there is a press release distribution service & suppliers directory.
In true Web 2.0 fashion, members are also able to express their thoughts to the Affiliate Marketing community, through thought bubbles. These fun and unobtrusive message devices will be available to anyone who wants to transmit a specific marketing message or simply wants to tell the rest of the community how they are feeling!
