    After a week or so of heart-rendering pontification, our guest judge has decided who the winner of our launch competition is! Handing over to our adjudicator, Revolution Magazine’s Andy McCormick, to announce….

    “the winner is Net Media Planet who took the CJ team on a whirlwind tour of Vegas. Vegas is definately somewhere special and the Luke Judge and Magnus Nilsson had CJ in their thoughts throughout – taking pictures of the team on the plane, next to the roulette wheels and even in mini-Venice. I suspect (but don’t know) that cameras aren’t allowed in some of the extra ’special’ venues in Vegas, otherwise the CJ team would have been photographed there too! Enjoy the trip to Commission Junction University in California”

    Thanks Andy for being our judge. Thanks also to everyone else who entered – with special mention to Match.com, IHG, Credit Expert, Doug Scott and Rob from www.affiliate4travel.co.uk who all did really good entries. Now for our winning entry from start to finish.

    “Net Media Planet takes Commission Junction UK to Las Vegas for a week of fun! Luke Judge (Business Development Manager) and Magnus Nilsson (Head of Account Management) bring along the team for a tour of the Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas and also show them around town!

Tip of the Week


"A large proportion of publishers I know own dozens if not hundreds of domain names. Later on they regret having purchased so many as they don't have the time to build websites for them. Also they don't attract the amount of type-in traffic they were hoping for. Therefore discipline yourself to only buy domain names that you must have.

Be cautious of hype-ridden new TLD releases. There is currently a lot of hysteria surrounding .co domain names, but they could end up being just as much of a damp squib as .tel, .ws and other TLDs. One thing many people are not aware of is a .co domain is seen by Google by default as a local Colombian domain; great if you want to rank well in Colombia, not so great if you wish to use it for a UK site."
