There’s been a bit of a hiatus on posting at the moment due to a new addition to the family of a bouncing little baby girl so affiliate market updates will be a little light for the next few weeks but hold in there as some new developments are in the wind for AffiliatePrograms.co.nz š […]

.nz Internationalised Domains
If you hadn’t heard about it yet, the DNC (Domain Name Commission) for New Zealand are starting the process towards bringing in the ability to include (for a start) five different characters into the .nz domain space. These are; the the macronised vowels Ä, Ä, Ä«, Å, and Å« which are not currently available in […]
Affiliate emails: Get the basics righ...
I would have thought an affiliate network would understand the absolute importance of the privacy of their affiliates email addresses however I just received an email which included 100 email address of their publishers in the “To” field. Unbelievable! It was a promotional email promoting one of the affiliate programs on their network who is […]
URLās in Affiliate Promotional Materi...
In my past life as an Affiliate Manager, the first time I thought about URL’s in affiliate promotional material was when a very influential affiliate came to me and said; I will not promote your site because all of your promotional material includes your URL on it. I was quite properly shocked. I hadn’t even […]
What kind of affiliates do New Zealan...
I’m happy to introduce the first in a series of four articles on affiliate marketing in New Zealand from a merchant perspective by Antony Ellis, Affiliate Manager for NZ Fine Prints, New Zealand’s largest retailer of art prints and posters; www.prints.co.nz. The next articles in the series will be; Where to find New Zealand affiliates […]
Further discussion on duplicate affil...
I was emailed recently regarding my previous post on my annoyance surrounding offering duplicate affiliate programs on a sign-on page and thought it would be worth further publishing my response here. Here are the details from the email. Hopefully the person concerned does not mind the post going public as I believe this type of […]
Duplicate Affiliate Programs
A practice which I find particularly annoying in the New Zealand affiliate market which I believe is due to the small size of the market itself is when a website joins more than one affiliate network and also has an affiliate program on its own site as well. Affiliates don’t need choice when they are […]
ClixGalore and the NZ market
I had a good chat with the General Manager of ClixGalore.co.nz late last week. Nice guy, quite passionate about his company. They have built proprietary software and have an impressive list of features on the software they have designed. The complete inclusion of impression stats, clicks and the ‘google like’ use of EPC (earning per […]
HYPERmedia program
I’ve recently had another affiliate program sent through for a New Zealand web development company who specialise in SME’s. hyperaffiliate.co.nz appears to be a good offer with three separate steps in comission payments from $200 (NZD) through to $400 (NZD) per referral depending on the sales level. The site is reasonably obscure about which sales […]
Over-zealous affiliate terms
Having a read through some of the terms and conditions on NZ affiliate sites (e.g. the NZ Duty Free affiliate program) is like walking into a brick wall of legal jargon saying what needs to be said in approximately three times as long as required. I’m all for careful contract construction but I also have […]
