TradeDoubler have announced the addition of the Bwin program to their portfolio.The Irish offices of TradeDoubler seem to be attracting a lot of new programs for Irish affiliates, so this is a very positive move.
I posted on my personal blog a couple of days ago about the new Screenclick site.
One of Screenclick's affiliates also posted on his blog about the site redesign and has now found that his account has been suspended!
Is this how most companies handle feedback from their affiliates???

Microsoft has announced the closure of its affiliate network.
In an email to publishers last week the company thanked them for their participation and talked of a new range of products being launched on a new platform in 2009

Amazon, in common with a lot of big ecommerce site, makes use of RSS for a number of things including lists of top sellers. In case you didn't spot the post over on their official affiliate blog, you can easily generate RSS for any category AND add your affiliate ID.The RSS feed includes the title of the item and very little else (there might be "thicker" versions available if you go digging, but I haven't found them yet), so it would be quite easy to grab a feed and integrate it with pretty much any sort of site you want. Adding some basic styling etc., and you've got a nice little top list.

Apple is excited to announce a performance based incentivisation programme that comes into effect today, Sunday, June 8th and runs until Saturday, July 5th, inclusive.
As an acknowledgement of your efforts and input towards boosting the online activity of the Apple programme, the Apple Team has decided to increase commission pay out based on specific targets within the Irish market.
The extra remuneration will be distributed as follows:
*If APPROVED order value during the defined period is > EUR1740 you will receive +0.5% increase in commission
*If APPROVED order value during the defined period is > EUR2088 you will receive +1% increase in commission
It's not everyday that a merchant announces a significant increase in their payout levels, however IWOOT's latest announcement does just that.In what could best be described as a bold move the UK gadget shop emailed their affiliates earlier today to announce that they intended to take on their competition headon by increasing commissions across the board to an impressive 13% flat rate. Amazon, which was one of the first companies to offer an affiliate solution, for example, offers a flat rate of 4% or scaling commission system with an upper limit of 8.5%.
The new commission structure comes into play on April 1st.
Ebay have announced that they are taking their affiliate marketing inhouse.
To date the online auction giant had been using Commission Junction and ValueClick to handle their affiliate partner network.
According to the announcement the new network, which is aptly labelled the eBay Partner Network, will go live on April 1st. While the choice of date may lead to some sniggers, the announcement sounds promising:

Have you been actively managing your affiliate links?
If you haven't now would be a good time to do some spring cleaning, as many of the online vendors have finished their pre-Christmas marketing and are now focussed on the January sales.
While a lot of advertisers use automatically updated banners and other content not all of them do, so it pays to spend a few minutes manually checking what is actually being displayed.
There's no point promoting a special offer if the offer has expired!
