Hey Mike, thanks for your perspective. Duly noted.

I have already watched sales for hundreds of dollars get knocked down to pennies thanks to your new attribution model. Who does this help? Coupon sites of course, the bread and butter of Avantlink’s revenue.

Why on earth should I not get full credit if someone comes to my site reads a review that I created. Videos, Images, words etc…

So what if they visited the merchant first?

So what if they visit a coupon site after seeing my site.

You know who is driving the sales… If someone clicks a buy now link what are they wanting to do? BUY NOW…

It’s sad to see Avantlink really could care less about the little guys. I see this when I communicate with the team in regards to bad datafeeds. You keep telling me this is our responsibility to contact the merchants? I don’t get paid to make sure the Avantlink program is working as it should, unlike everyone at Avatlink that collects a pay check.

So will this model be rolled out to every merchant? Is it possible to get a list of merchants using this model, as most likely we won’t be working with them in the future. And if that means everyone in the entire network… I am happy to jump ship and cut my losses now.

As me writing product reviews, going out into the backcoutnry to test products should actually be worth something as an editorial site vs the other 99% of coupon sites you work with.
