I was very interested to read your comments on "Culling Affiliate Emails" dated: Feb 26th. I am a merchant and work for a small football shirt online retailer, www.subsidesports.com - we like to think we are very pro-active with our affiliate programs and we do email certain affiliates that fall into the 0 performance category. However it's not directing threatning to de-activate them, rather, on how we can work with them to at least start to recognise our affiliate program and look at opportunities to start to build traffic and hopefully sales. Our affiliate program is managed by myself and I am very keen to communicate with as many of our afiliates as possible to assist in their activity - whether its giving the a free football shirt to run a competition, seasonal commission increases, prizes or promotions. By tapping into the affiliate and communicating via phone/email seems to do wonders in making that non-performing affiliate suddenly feel wanted and then begin to generate sales. Cheers, Simon Hi Jason,
