I was in London the other day to meet a very enthusiastic young gentleman by the name of Ryan Vaughan, a name that some of you may remember as he was an account manager on of the biggest UK affiliate networks until recently.
Anyway Ryan came across as a very energetic and surprisingly knowledgeable man for his young years. Anyway the reason that we had a meeting is to discuss a new network that he is involved with.
Though a new network with a limited set of affiliates it is clear that they have big plans and that with the current and expanding team they have with the network there is a huge talent base to realise these plans.
Their current programs are very lucrative and especially attractive to cashback, rewardsites and freebie sites.
Their Flagship program is ‘The Raffle Club‘
This offers £0.60 per lead for Free Draw (with some HUGE prizes), plus an amazingly high 50% commission on TheRaffleClub.com paid prizedraw.
In addition the only info needed to be provided by the user for a free draw is their Email, Title, First Name, Last Name, Chosen Password. This is alot less than some of the other free draw offers out there, I have tried some in the past and they want to know things like income, do you have a mortgage etc which can be very offputting for a user to complete.
If you wish to sign up all you need to do is just complete this form with your name, desired username, desired password, website URL and phone number and we will get you an account setup.
Some affiliates are already doing very well from this program, but as with all these things it is best to get in quickly

ASOS CEO Nick Robertson. If you don’t know the story he basically slagged off the entire affiliate industry in an interview in NMA magazine a couple of months ago. Search A4U or Bumpzee for more information as I have enough of going over it myself.
As I am sure you understand this annoyed ALOT of people. .NET magazine has a bit about this this month, mainly in defence of Affiliates.
Anyway - he has just done another interview - see here http://www.e-consultancy.com/news-blog/363198/q-a-asos-nick-robertson-speaks-out-on-grubbygate.html
And I am confused.
In the original NMA interview he says:
Next year we’ll reintroduce affiliate marketing
But in the new interview - well see what he says below
Are you actually going to re-launch the programme?
Right now, I have better uses of my marketing money. In the forseeable future, no. I’m struggling to come up with reasons why we would. The bigger we get, the more questionable it is. Seventy percent of our products are unique, so you can’t get them anywhere else.
So I would just like to know what is he doing?
Blasting all affiliates, saying he would be moving back into the affiliate arena. Now saying that he won’t - has this change of heart anything to do with the fact that most top affiliates have said that they won’t touch his program with a barge pole?
Ill say no more - but this thread on a4u will make additional extra reading - http://www.a4uforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=58887

The old adage has it - if it is too good to be true - then it probably isn’t.
Google came pushing it’s google checkout. Free payment gateway! Too good to be true?
Well it appears that it is.
Firstly we have the absolute disaster as it is poorly compatible with a number of affiliate networks. Well my first response is that the tracking is the responsibility of the merchant - not the payment gateway or the network.
But the big problem is that google checkout does NOT redirect the customer back to the merchant website once the transaction has ended. This is bad for the merchant - no second chance for a second impulse buy, and secondly the affiliate - as more often than not the tracking script is placed on the ‘checkout success’ page, so if there is no user visiting the success page - there is no tracking of the sale.
Google has its own solution for this, but it requires the merchant or affiliate network to be approved. This is basically a pain to all involved. More info on this see a4u forum
Also something to remember - google is not a bank! Just because google is the biggest internet company doesn’t mean that it’s payment solution will do everything and do it free. Paypal has only just really been accepted as being a bonified payment gateway and not just an ebay payment system.
I was originally tempted by GC but I am now treading with caution.
There are also alot of people worried about the amount of information that google is collecting - just in time for launch of its own CPA / CPS affiliate style model. Not sure if this worry is just or not.
I am sure that time will tell

Primeq have just announced their CPM and CPC banner network:
”PrimeQ has launched a CPM and CPC banner network that gives businesses the opportunity to advertise on the global online network’s range of proprietary websites and syndicated SORT paths which attract over a million unique visitors a month.
Using banners, buttons and text ads, advertisers can get their messages across to very specific demographic groups. Segmentation is available by tightly defined categories and this considerably increases the value to marketers. The sophisticated targeting technology has resulted in click through rates as high as 25% on some spots for one of the first advertisers.
Jason McClain, CEO of PrimeQ, said the new banner network would be an ideal vehicle for businesses to acquire customers: “Because of the nature of the sites in our portfolio and their highly focussed nature, surfers are more likely than average to make a purchase or express an interest in a product or service. I am delighted PrimeQ has been able to respond to our clients’ requests for increased exposure on our web properties and am looking forward to the CPM network becoming as successful as other recent initiatives.”
This gives more options and flexability for advertisers with this quickly developing network. It would be interesting to see what they pull from their hat next.
