I have recently received emails saying Barclaycard have put their affiliate tracking pixel on the wrong part of the page so they intend to reverse commissions since October. Other Merchants say they appologise for not paying me commisions due.

It is all concerning TradeDoubler.co.uk Probably the biggest affiliate marketing company in Europe.

I am very concerned that these guys don't know what they are doing and are messing us affiliates about. I sense something bad is going on behind the scenes here.

These guys are playing a dangerous game here. We watched them get rich in the dot com boom and years later they seem to still be leaching off us.

p.s. Glad to see Lastminute.com go down at last. I made some cash shorting them on a spread-bet.

Some are a joke.

I've found some major companies using affiliate networks who aren't aware how their programs are even setup. They'll say they track all the traffic you send via a cookie - but when you check there's no cookie tracking
