Apart from other nice surprises in my inbox recently, POR sent me an e-mail over the weekend that impresses the hell out of me! I’ve got an old site which I used to use to push through traffic to an adult toy shop they used to have on board. It gets negligable traffic these days, so I didn’t bother my backside updating when the merchant left.

I was delighted to get the following e-mail on Sunday: -

On the 06th June a visitor to your website clicked on an Affiliate URL for a Merchant who has closed its Affiliate Program with Paid On Results.

The visitor was shown our Expired Links page, and given several other related Merchants they may be interested in. This visitor followed one of our related links and went onto make a purchase with Sex Shop 365.

Normally the commission due would just be added to your account, however in this case you are currently not an Affiliate of Sex Shop 365. In order for us to pass the commission onto you we first need you to join the Sex Shop 365 Affiliate Program

You can do this as normal though your Affiliate Control Panel, once you have joined and been approved for this Merchant we will add the commission due to you into your account.

If you have any questions please let us know.

So I duly joined the programme as they suggested, and whaddya know? £3.64 magically appeared in my affiliate account a day or so later. I’ve probably not been paying attention, but I’d no idea POR had this functionality. I think it’s a great thing for affiliates such as myself who have hordes of old, unloved, and out of date sites.

Not a huge commission, but definately one of the sweetest i’ve had in recent times. So a belated “well done” to Paid On Results, and yet another reason why I should be doing more with them to add to my list!
