Asda commission zero - thanks!

We regret to inform you that from 5pm on Friday 26th November Asda will no longer be awarding commission on any categories (within the first bullet point list of this notice) on the Asda site. This is due to Asda internal budget restraints.

All currently pending affiliate commissions will be honoured.

The following product categories will therefore be set to 0% commission:
  • Electricals (including PAYG mobile handsets and accessories)
  • Furniture
  • Home
  • Toys
  • Baby
  • DIY & Motor
  • Sports & Leisure
  • Jewellery & Watches
  • Gifts & Party
End date for Commissions:
No commissions will be awarded for sales made after 5pm on Friday 26th December 2010. We recommend that affiliates adjust their campaigns and remove any deeplinks or creative to the direct.asda.com site prior to this time.
This programme pause is only applicable for the ASDA Direct section of the ASDA site. The following categories will continue to operate as normal:
  • George
  • Entertainment
  • Flowers
  • Optical
  • Pharmacy
  • Photo
  • Travel
Please note the separate Asda Grocery programme will not be affected.

Please accept our apologies for the limited notice period of this campaign change; ASDA Direct will be re-instating commissions on these categories and look forward to working with you in the near future.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch using the details below.

a4u forum down?

Couldn't read threads and it all looked wrong and now I just got an error.

Stress.

*agghhh*

OMG analytics shows zero traffic for yesterday

Apart from it nearly giving me a heart attack - the idea of no traffic at this time of year is too frightening to think about.

I assume it's broken though - analytics is showing zero across all my sites - for 2nd November.

Jilted generation

Not affiliate marketing but certainly something worth a look





Jilted Generation: How Britain Has Bankrupted Its Youth

Jilted Generation is a tirade of fury... Ed Howker and Shiv Malik stake out their complaint with a waspishness which comes from personal experience - the struggle to find somewhere to live in London, and to find a secure job...the evidence of pokey overpriced housing and endless unpaid internships piles up convincingly
--Madeleine Bunting, Guardian
Product Description
Born after September 1979? Struggling to find a decent job, even though you're a graduate? Can't afford to buy or even rent a house? No prospects? Welcome to the jilted generation. Things go wrong in society all the time, but rarely do they go wrong for an entire generation. Drawing on their own startling new research and writing with an irresistible polemical energy, twenty-something journalists Ed Howker and Shiv Malik argue that, in stark contrast to their parents' generation, millions of young Britons today face the most uncertain future since the early 1930s. Radical, angry and passionate, Jilted Generation takes a closer look at who's to blame for locking out Britain's youth - and leaving our country not just broken but broke.

Share my code and win $50

Yeah you want me to share some code I've written and show you how it works and I might win $50....

You know what?

As prizes go that's a non starter.

Any useful code I have is all mine!

Mind you I don't trust people who claim to be so good at SEO they sell their services... if you were, wouldn't you just make loads of money doing affiliate stuff and keep the secrets to yourself?

Just ask if you need anything

I love emails that are happy and friendly and offer me any help I want with a program - "just ask!"


So when I do ask and they reply with "I'm sorry we don't have that, no we can't do that for you, and no we don't know what the top selling products are for our merchants" it gets a bit frustrating.
