What is the one thing that all affiliates hate universally.. the one thing that that causes enormous gripe, spite and venom? Without any doubt, it’s got to be parasitewares.

If you don’t know what a parasiteware is, let me explain. Parasite is an adware that overwrites affiliate-tracking links.

This behavior is viewed as parasitic because such softwares divert affiliate commissions and credits the affiliate’s income to another party. These cookie-stuffing scumbags are not just stealing from affiliates but from merchants as well.

To really understand the impact of adware on your web site and revenues, read this article by Kellie Stevens and this one by Ben Edelman.

So what is MontRED’s stance on parasites? We do not allow any affiliates that use such disgusting adwares, spywares, and parasite systems of any kind.

No pop-ups, pop-unders, browser helpers, browser plug-ins, or toolbars. Our Terms of Service covers this topic at length. MontRED is proud to be a white hat merchant.

Welcome to MontRED Affiliate Blog. My name is Nishith Shah and I’m the Affiliate Manager at MontRED. MontRED is an online retailer of fine jewelry.

MontRED launched its Affiliate Program in the first week of February 2006. Since then it has generated strong sales through its affiliates and has created quite a positive buzz in the community.

Let me start off this blog with a little note on the joys of being an Affiliate Manager.

Well, an affiliate program is only as good as its affiliates. In that respect, MontRED is lucky to have started on a right foot with wonderful affiliates from all over the world.

A good number of our affiliates are from the US and Canada. We’ve got affiliates from UK, India, Ireland, Brazil, Pakistan, Norway and Slovakia as well. And our latest affiliate comes from Italy.

Isn’t it remarkable how this fast-paced and ever-evolving industry is truly international? It is fun interacting with these highly creative and interesting people from different cultures. One thing is common amongst all of them: they all love to work in their pajamas.

With this note, I welcome you all to our blog.
