However, are you still getting 13,000 targetted uniques day? If you are then I would expect a much bigger return than £12,500 for the year. Hopefully with your new merchants you'll make double :) Well done on a successful website.

Im trying to see things from their side and all I can come up with is that they are obsessing about control of the brand. Perhaps affiliatewindow.com could shed some light from their perspective how they see affiliate marketing to be beneficial to Next with such a poor offering to affiliates. Would awin rather keep Next because they are a brand even though their own overrides will be reduced just for the sake of having a brand. If I were awin, I think Id stick to my guns on this one and just say aff marketing may not be right for you, Next >>>> Im trying to work out the Next logic… Im trying to see things from their side and all I can come up with is that they are obsessing about control of the brand.

I guess they (and their legion of marketing graduates) don't realise that by paying less and affiliates dropping them and using other merchants as a result, they will be actually making it far easier for their competitors to consolidate their positions, stablise their infrastructure, grow their affiliate schemes and get better rates for stock due to increased volumes, and grow in size and comptetor threat to Next etc. Next will be more profitable for now but a larger percentage of a shrinking pie is still less money overall for Next in the future. Hopefully everyone will ditch them and tell them exactly why... same for the zero commission jokers out there too.

I can offer you a whopping 15% commision on all sales at my site www.sextoyshopping.co.uk yes 15%. I realise you sell kids furniture etc so my site may not be applicable, however, its the PARENTS that view your sites not the kids. If you sent me that volume of traffic I would go well out of my way to look after you!! If this is of interest please contact me via my contact us page and we can set you up as an affiliate quickly like others are already doing. My company is in its 26th year so we are well established and well respected. Look forward to hearing from you.

One of the arguments for bigger brands is that they supposedly convert better hence a lower commision rate can still earn you more per click. Isnt always the case by any means though.
