Apparently it's now live in the UK, anyone joined/using it?

Any thoughts or comments about joining it good or bad?

Thanks

Aiden

Not many UK merchants yet but I expect it will change soon. Have been using for a couple of US merchants for some time and it's OK - the real benefit is that you get paid via your adsense account which makes it easy to manage.
Oh, and you do get paid as well (unlike with a lot of other networks who'll allow a merchant to go elsewhere with unpaid bills).

Hang on, google the people that hate affiliate sites have there own program?

How on earth does that work?

I thought it looked a bit light on merchants, as you say that will change. I like the idea of being paid via adsense but would be concerned about putting all my eggs in one basket, especially as accounts seem to get closed without warning. I suppose if used sensibly it's not a bad thing.

I know maybe they just like their own affiliate program.
