Who is Lammo?
Posted by Lammo in
Clarke Duncan did a great post yesterday, offering an objective viewpoint of the current landscape of the networks in the UK, with a positive comment and some constructive criticism for each network. But why write a hundred words when three will suffice?
So therefore, here is my review of most of the UK networks using only three words:
Affiliate Future: Merchants galore! Stats?
Affiliate Window: Feeds. Confusing website.
Affilinet: Wot no merchants?
Buy.at: Geordie Legends. Brands.
Clash Media: Wish they paid.
CJ: Lost for words.
DGM: Don’t work with.
OMG: Oh my God! (Well it has to be doesn’t it?)
Paid on Results: Affiliates’ Affiliate Network.
Smart Quotes: Won’t work with.
TradeDoubler: Best in Show (at the moment)
Webgains: Way too confusing.
There you go Clarke – that’s how you could have saved yourself an hour of writing, or to sum this post up in three words: “Bish. Bash. Bosh.”

Very good post!
I found Smart Quotes to be so good a year ago, they seem to get worse and worse – I can see I am sending them the same or greater amount of clickthroughs and I am getting the same variety of keywords from my natural search traffic, but the commissions are going down and down…. lots of untracked sales nowadays I suspect…. very frustrating..
LOL nice one, wish it was just an hour I spent on that post, started writing it last week and had to keep checking and thinking about the positive and negative for each network, took a good deal of time. Now I didn’t want to leave Paid On Results out of my list as I have a lot of readers and they be wondering why if they don’t know me well enough (I have a discloser page that tells people everything) and I was as far as I could be with that one but I must say it’s harder to look at your own things than it is at others
… but I like your style, nice an quick but I don’t think many of the Networks will learn much from your post LOL .. and word on the street is a number of the other Affiliate Blogs are making posts like this as we speak, so be good to hear what they have to say also.
Mate – Agree with you on each and every one of them!
I was going to do exactly the same as Clarke – now I’m going to have to trump you (I like a challenge!)
Never has “Less is more” been so true. Nice one John.
Paul.
