The fast News:
\n<\/strong>Last week we noticed that some of the links via the affiliate networks had not been updated since the switch from one site platform to another, which happened back in July 07. We can not find any evidence that any affiliates were informed about the changes either, if this is the case then, we cant go back in time, but we can now put measures in place to prevent this from happening again. Going forwards, AffiliateProgramAdvice.com have advised EBTM.com about the importance of issuing prior communication and alerting everyone if they make site changes and how it affects affiliates. A heads up to all affiliates promoting EBTM.com using our original deep links to Band specific banners. Please double check your links to make sure they click through to the current website. Some of you may still have BAND specific banners, still pointing to the old ecommerce platform.<\/span>Affiliate\u2019s are advised to check their own links any way, we have had two cases where by an affiliates has set up their links incorrectly including datafeeds.
\nIf in doubt, ask :0)<\/p>\n

<\/span>Affiliates of EBTM, EBTM.com are going into sale as of the 18th December, there is a gap of 24hrs where by if a visitor places an order, they can not only grab a bargain but they can also take full advantage of the free gurenteed delivery in time for xmas<\/strong><\/span>News if you have a few minutes
\nWe took over the affiliate program in mid September 07, its ironic but AffiliateProgramAdvice.com seems to have come full circle with EBTM.com just follow the crumb trail. The Affiliate Program came home just in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>So where we are at?
\n<\/span>
\nVia <\/span>PaidOnResults.com <\/span><\/a>
\n100% firing on all full cylinders! Hoorah!
\nThe following is what we have done and paidnresults.com have been nothing short of superstars in helping us, collectively all parties involved working together.
\nCleaned up the product feeds.
\nUpdated old and new creatives.
\nNew Content units, setting them up is childs play, no tech skills needed, just copy and paste.
\nGrouped affiliates according to their needs so we can provide the appropriate tools.
\nWe provide articles to affiliates as SEO fodder, you can see a sample here <\/span>http:\/\/www.affiliateprogramadvice.com\/jimisample.htm<\/span><\/a>
\nDiscount vouchers can now be provided with a longer lead time.
\nWe have increased commissions via POR from 10% to 15%
\nTo name but a few.<\/span>Via <\/span>Cj.com<\/span><\/a>
\nWe are still trying to sort out the datafeed issues via CJ.com but\u2026 we know that may take some time, Im too impatient so we got EBTM.com to provide a clean feed which affiliates can use for the interim period, you will need to add your cj and affiliate tags but its better then nothing. Please contact Helen at affiliateprogramadvice.com or you may want to check your messages through cj.com interface now.
\nWe have updated and added new links.
\nWe are providing affiliates with articles (upon request).
\nWe have categorized affiliates, we kicked out a few naughty affiliates and the affiliate program via cj.com less the datafeed issue is now clean and healthy.<\/span>So what\u2019s it all for?<\/strong>
\nAffiliates are now experiencing better conversions.
\nWe have constantly since Sep, when we took over the program, not only met our targets from EBTM but Nov, Dec\u2026 we smashed one and on target to smash the other. EBTM have been working on their conversions and every one is seeing the benefits. Affiliate conversions are on average higher (do affiliates send more targeted traffic?) lol, had to get that in there.<\/p>\n

<\/span>EBTM.com<\/span><\/a> now have a proactive and profitable affiliate program.<\/span>Happy Christmas from Helen and myself and a big thank you to everyone, for all your hard work, patience and support and on behalf of EBTM.com to their affiliates, they would also like to pass on their seasons greetings and they are constantly working on their site, products and conversions and are 100% completely behind their affiliate program.<\/p>\n

Big thanks also goes out to Quentin Griffiths, friend and colleague!
\nHappy Christmas mate and thnx :0)<\/p>\n

next year\u2026 New years APA resolution for EBTM, hope to be able to get EBTM to explore affiliates and ppc, fingers crossed eh? x<\/p>\n
