NOW CANTOR TEAMS WITH INCOME ACCESS
Cantor Casino.com, an online gambling operation in the Cantor Gaming stable, is the latest addition to the growing Income Access affiliate program. The company announced the addition this week, pointing out that Cantor Casino affiliate marketers can benefit from a choice of CPA or revenue share commission structures, no negative rollover, dedicated affiliate support and a variety of marketing tools including flash banners, text links, content and HTML mailers. Publishers who choose to promote Cantor Casino through its new affiliate program in the Income Access network can choose either a flat 25 percent revenue share commission, or a GBP 75 CPA. No negative rollover/carry-over means that any negative commissions incurred will be wiped clean at the start of the next month.
Google offloads conflict of interest biz
After regulators approved its $3.1bn DoubleClick purchase, Google split Performics in half, separating its affiliate ad network from its search engine marketing biz. The Performics affiliate network soon became the Google Affiliate Network, and the Mountain Viewers vowed they would eventually sell the search marketing arm to a third-party. You see, the search marketing arm makes its money by rigging Google search results. And in a rare moment of sanity, Google has decided that hanging on to such a business is a bad idea. "It's clear to us that we do not want to be in the search engine marketing business. Maintaining objectivity in both search and advertising is paramount to Google's mission and core to the trust we ask from our users. For this reason, we plan to sell the Performics search marketing business to a third party," Google opined back in April, after the DoubleClick deal went through.
