Affiliate Window, Darwin And Evolution Uncovered!

Affiliate Window are currently teasing affiliates with a campaign titled Darwin. It’s being promoted via a splash page, Twitter and Facebook and suggests that evolution is taking place in affiliate marketing – and you’re invited to be part of it.

Keith Bond and Lee McCoy have already blogged their thoughts on what Darwin may entail, but are they right?

The teasers from Awin are based around quotes from Darwin like “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge it is those who know little, and not those who know much who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”

My initial reaction was that Awin were intending to bring back TV game show 3-2-1 (dodgy 80s programme featuring Ted Rogers and Dusty Bin where contestants could win a car or a dustbin by solving impossible clues – a kind of forerunner for Saturday Takeaway but without Ant and Dec).

That may still be the case but after carefully analysing the above quote for over 5 hours I’m no closer to figuring out whether I’m going to get a Ford Fiesta or the booby prize – perhaps I’ll reject this one and hope for a better clue.

So there must be more to it.. and where better to get inspiration than the You Tube!

Can watching a bunch of videos on Evolution and Darwin help shed any light on what’s going on over at Affiliate Window?

Sir David Attenborough seemed to know about evolution but doesn’t mention Awin – so no help there!

Bill Hicks didn’t help much either, but he’s funnier than Attenborough when it comes to evolution!

There’s a possibility that Prezzybox are involved as Zak surely is voicing over this evolution animation?

But it seems that the answer lies in this video….

Perhaps Awin have unearthed this YouTube clip and realised that all affiliates are really geeks and that their days are numbered unless they start to evolve into more “normal people”.

Maybe Awin have scientifically proven, after years of study by “Dr” Kevin Edwards, that affiliates need to go out into the sunlight occasionally, sleep proper hours, get away from their computers, and interact with other people at various affiliate events taking place during the rest of 2009.

Darwin, therefore, is Awin’s cunning plan to make sure affiliates attend at least one event from the following: A4U Roadshows, Networking Event – London, Existem AM Plymouth BBQ, A4UExpo.

Awin want their affiliates to get outside and mix with others in AM. They don’t their affiliates staying in behind their PCs making them inward thinkers when it comes to affiliate marketing pursuits.

And in true 3-2-1 style, the proof of the pudding is that if you evolve from being inward to being outward then you’ve transformed. An anagram involves the transformation of letters, and if you transform the letters that make up the word ‘inward’ you get …. Darwin!

Could this really be Affiliate Window, Darwin And Evolution Uncovered?
