I see your point, but its from a PPC perspective. I dont bid on anything, its all natural traffic from an old fashion site i've got. If they want to get PPC affiliates on board fine offer something for them, and then ill do some PPC as well :) Im making money with them, like I said its all natural so anythings a profit really, but id make more if I flick it back over to EBTM or Discoo. I just think recruiting affiliates should be a bit more than doubling a commission and a post on a4u... In the meantime, dont suppose you've got a M&M direct awin affiliate link you've not used, ill stick it in and split the extra 3% with you :) Hi Gav,

Also, increasing comms to existing affiliates probably increases bids on search and makes it more difficult to enter the market - so you can see it from the Merchant's perspective. Having said all that - I'd be narky if I was in your position too, and I certainly see your point, it's just that it's always difficult to get new affiliates on the programme - I suppose they think you should be happy if you're making a profit anyway.
