It is nearly two weeks now since Google announced its changes to their trademark policy. The news came as a surprise to most people and has had everyone discussing it over the past two weeks. The actual implications will not really be known until the new policy is up and running but our overall thoughts are that it will have varying degrees of impact depending on the actual affiliate campaign. We are currently undertaking a review of all campaigns and will be making recommendations which will be in the interests of both client and affiliate. We are more than happy to hear your thoughts and concerns on this topic so please feel free to get in touch with the team.
Since the MBO at the beginning of this year we have been working hard to take advantage of our new structure and make it much easier for affiliates to work with dgm. We have a number of ideas and projects underway over the coming weeks and months which we hope will benefit affiliates. What we really need now however is some honest feedback from you on how to see dgm in the market, what we do well and what we need to improve on.
We have put together a short survey which we would appreciate you filling out if you 5-10 minutes to spare to give us your feedback. Based on the feedback we get we will strive to continually improve our service to you and deliver what you need.
As an added incentive if you provide us with your email address at the end of the survey we will enter you into a prize draw to win a very trendy iPod touch!
The survey can be found here
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Vodafone
Make the Most of Now
As you may know over the last couple of month’s dgmAffiliates have been running affiliate competitions in conjunction with the Vodafone Campaign to win some great prizes, e.g. the two sets of £1,000.00 Cash bonus prizes were run in both February and March 2008.
This month we have another competition on offer for you. Alongside the Vodafone strap line “Make the Most of Now” we will be running a compettion for every single day in April 2008.
For every affiliate that drives a contract application the affiliate will be entered into a prize draw for that day to win a £100.00 cash bonus.
Therefore, depending on how lucky you are you could win quite a few cash bonuses, with up to £3,000.00 of cash bonuses being awarded this month.
All new affiliates are welcome to join the Vodafone campaign with DGM and take advantage of the April 2008 incentive. The number of sales you drive for the Vodafone campaign are irrelevant as each affiliate will have an equal chance in winning the cash bonus. Obviously your chances will increase if you can drive at least one contract application for Vodafone every single day.
Winners for each day will be notified 5-6days after the sales date via a personalised e-mail and telephone call from the Vodafone Account Manager.
A contract application includes either a pay monthly contract or a mobile broadband contract application. For more information regarding the commission structure please visit http://www.dgmaffiliates.com/vodsite/vodafone-dgm.php.
