Affiliate Window Rates My Site

Posted on 2 Sep 2008 in Development | 4 comments

Affiliate Window often send newsletters out to their merchants, in which they focus and introduce an individual affiliate or an individual website. This time round it was my turn, and Affiliate Window decided to review Discount Codes giving it an overall score of 95 /100… Not bad!

Over the past year, I’ve really taken time out and focused on trying to help merchants understand what I have to offer and how best they can work WITH me in order to develop a rewarding working relationship. This has included;

• the creation of a presentation emailed to networks and merchants
• the creation of a google calendar to help plan extra exposure
• arranging meetings prior to networking events

I am glad to report that by focusing away from websites, and more on what I can do to form a stronger relationship with networks and merchants, I have seen my time and effort pay off. I’m not just talking about increases in commissions or prizes (Dixons, Wickes, Sunshine, Vodafone, … sorry… I will stop there!), but simple things like a testimonial from a merchant.

So whats next? How do I get an extra 5 points to reach 100/100? I’m sure that if Affiliate Window reviewed my website in 12 months time, I could expect to receive a mark somewhere in the low 70’s. That’s not because of my site deteriorating, its because of the ever changing landscape and new challenges us affiliates face, as we battle it out with each other

Thanks AWin for a glowing review, but worry not, I won’t be resting on my laurels!
