The interface for merchants is very intuitive and has some very good features, but how do you find working with the network? The product feed functionality is cutting edge and everything about the network seems to be great, but a number of large affiliates still do not tend to work with Linkshare, are there deeper reasons for this?

We really would like to get some constructive feedback about what we can do to encourage you to join our programme on the new network and also feedback about the network in general as we are still quite new to it.

Please feel free to post comments or send your thought via the contact us box.

I know that all affiliates are different, some like MSN, some like phone calls and some like emails, but what do you prefer? What information would it be useful to send you? Is just telling you the commission levels, EPCs, network and validation rates enough? I always try to offer any insight into the programme and how I see it working on each individual affiliates site. I know that affiliates do not like being pushed too much, but where do you draw the line?

Do incentives or competitions make you more likely to sign up to and promote a new programme? We have recently launched the Optimalprint Programme on Affiliate Window and Affiliate Future with a competition to win a £200 Expedia voucher. We always try to ensure that the contests are fair by offering one ‘ticket’ per sale to be entered into a draw. Is this the way that you want us to run our competitions?

We are very open to all ideas and would really like you to give us as much feedback as possible!

Please leave any comments, or email me.
