Just a heads up that DGM have gone into administration, so hope it doesn't affect people from here too much

They owe me a few K but this just justifies even further why I am exiting affiliate marketing permanently !

Heard the rumour this morning - any public confirmation?

Sustainability is the keyword for everything be it domains, development or aff stuff.

Not been on A4u recently (more guff and shysters than acorn!) but just looked and saw this from a week ago:

That's some rotten luck you've been having over at DGM recently Patrick:

- Cheques bouncing one week due to insolvency act proceedings.
- BACS computer failing the next week.
- Judging by the lack of response to emails and phone calls, problems with them as well.

Somebody cynical might think DGM had problems and was trying to avoid affiliates.

Ouch.

If it is in admin, then cash may not yet be lost as the administratiors aim is to keep the company running and pay those owed cash. That and rack up massive fees for themselves

Unless they do a prepack jobby, or liquidate ... then you are screwed.

I have it on good authority that it has been confirmed and also I know someone has telephoned them and it was answered by the administrators, and they were told the same

Sorry for your financial loss.

If you're exiting affiliate marketing, where are you heading to? Adsense? Domain Name trading? Paid for ads? What's your new revenue? I was heading for affiliate marketing so you've got me worried

No need to answer if you don't want, but your quote prompted my question.

Thanks in advance and good luck, Luke

I plan on settling in something which has more stability than affiliate marketing. A few ideas I have come up with include :

1. Selling ashtrays for motorbikes
2. Trying to sell lucky heather door to door
3. A yo-yo stringer - always a strong call for yo-yo's as the last 100's of years have shown us
4. Unicycle repair man
5. Hungary Hippos marble packaging technician
6. A newspaper reporter dedicated to Kerry Katona scandals
7. Betamax repair man
8. Commodore 64 replacement tape deck retailer
9. A Raul Moat impersonator

Hi Frank.

Sorry to hear you lost a few bob. Surprised to hear you might be getting out of affiliate marketing. Of all the people on here I presumed you were making decent money from it.

As for your new job, a Raoul Moat impersonator would do good business right now, but as Rob said sustainability is the name of the game, so I'd go with an old-time favourite like Fred West or Peter Sutcliffe.

Speaking of which petersutcliffe.co.uk is available to register. fredwest.co.uk isn't!

Cheers,

Ed
