While I welcome anything to weed out the idiots and spammers, I can't see any network really wanting to get rid of 'clean' affiliates on the basis of size alone.

We worked really hard to get it right, something which included some tough decisions on cutting content and atoning to a more spaced and breathable layout. As with any new design and re-launch, the criticism outweighs the positive (generally as if you like something you just get on with it) so it's nice to hear.

Would just also like to make reference to your comments on the Affiliates4u site - I find the new look and navigation very user friendly and love the participation from all affiliates, new and old (talking about experience of course :) ) Must admit the football analogy went slightly over my head as I'm not THE biggest football fan, but I get the picture.

Barely a week goes by without some further complication to the existing set up of data feeds and data obtained from networks, so we're hoping this sale doesn't bring data changes. Any changes which makes it harder for spammy affiliates would be good though.
