I received this letter.

"Hi George,

My name’s Karen and I’m contacting you with regards to the UK2.Net affiliate program on Tradedoubler. I wanted to get in touch to see if I can do anything to help you generate more commissions, as I can see you are currently generating clicks but no sales.

I would be pleased to hear about any ways that we can increase exposure on your website - for example, is it possible to trial one of our banners on your homepage? Or perhaps you have a newsletter/blog where you could feature some of our latest web hosting offers? We have two new voucher codes which you may wish to promote:

Code: FEBRESELLER
Offer: £20 OFF Reseller packages
Valid from: 1st February 2011
Valid to: 10th March 2011

Code: FEBHOST5
Offer: 5% OFF webhosting
Valid from: 1st February 2011
Valid to: 10th March 2011

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require any further information about our services, our latest offers, or our affiliate program.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards

Karen"

Since Karen asked nicely I thought I'd blog the codes for UK2's offers. I know I haven't blogged much recently but that's not cause I've been lazy; it's because I've been busy.

I was without a phone for 19 days over Christmas and the New year and now have a new phone provider and ISP. That didn't help.

I've been thinking maybe the site is overdue for a re-design but this time I was thinking of something major.

How would people feel if the site stopped being a directory and became a wiki? Let me know.

George
