		<description>Chris - it is really strange how much it effects your desire to work with a merchant isn't it.  It's not like I want to give up on the commission I earned from them last year but it does make me feel like it's not valued and I haven't made a difference to them.  However based on public turnover figures I think my £500k was only 0.2% of their business so perhaps I really don't matter at all anyway!

As for Existem, I think the gift was for being a forum mod and deleting spam all year round but keeping quiet about the crocodile shoes probably helped too ;)</description>

I agree with your post. I was lucky enough to receive 5 hampers and a variety of other products too. Having said that, my main merchant, to whom I sent over £450k of sales to, didn't even send me a crimbo card... I wonder if its the same one?

I'm like you, in the fact that I wonder whether to work with them next year proactively, or simply let things tick over with no further effort on my behalf. Be interested in what you decision was/is

Google - you can have mine ;)

Also, count yourself lucky you received something from Existem, I received zip! It may, however, have something to do with me commenting on Matts much loved crocodile shoes and of course the A4U Video may not have helped ;)</description>

		<description>Richard - thanks for your comments.  I'm glad it provides some motivation but most of all it's a reminder to work with the people who really value their affiliates.

David Airey - Thanks for your Christmas wishes.  Hope you had a good one and all the best for 2008.  I saw your photo in the Evening News.  It's amazing how you have been able to get such a benefit from 2 potentially damaging incidents in 2007 :-)

David Bain - sure, that sounds like a plan.  Will drop you an email soon.

Dan - thanks for the comment.  do let me know if you are looking for tips and info about any particular areas.</description>

		<description>Hi Fraser

Maybe not receiving a gift from google(adwords)isn't such a bad thing?

Thanks for the link.

Merry Christmas.
