Google Affiliate Network Is Cancelled (Closed For Business)!
You have to laugh at how Google treat their customers sometimes. :-
http://googleaffiliatenetwork-blog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/an-update-on-google-affiliate-network.html.
Of course they did this about 5 hours after I wrote in the PPCNI Top AdWords Tips about how it was worth signing up for!
So, if you are a merchant in the UK and want to work with the really big cash back sites (Quidco and Top Cash Back), and Google is no longer an option, which are the best affiliate networks to sign up with?
I got an email from the nice people at Quidco recently saying :-
Someone from our Client Services Team in London are currently looking to migrate all retailers on the GAN network to another network at the moment.
However, if you want to have a browse at the other networks we work with then here is the list:
Affilinet, Affiliate Future, Affiliate Window, Commission Junction, Impact Radius, Linkshare, Online Media Group, Paid on Results, The Affiliate Gateway, TradeTracker, Webgains.
And here is an email from TopCashBack :-
