Heads-up for all G affiliates

Dear affiliate

blah blah etc..

To that end, we've made the difficult decision to retire the Google Affiliate Network

Publishers can continue to earn revenue through the AdSense network. And marketers can take advantage of other CPA-oriented Google tools like Product Listing Ads, remarketing and Conversion Optimizer to drive valuable online sales and conversions. These areas are growing rapidly and we continue to invest significantly in them.

We'll continue to support our customers as we wind down the product over the next few months. While we will no longer be adding new product functionality, we will maintain the platform during the transition period. We plan to disable publisher relationships from advertiser programs on July 31, 2013. Publisher payments will be disbursed for network activity generated through this date. We will continue to make certain functionality available through October 31, 2013 for retrieving reports, reconciling orders, and processing payments.

      I got that email tonight, too. Surprising but not, I guess. I did very little with their campaigns/offers since every time I logged in to find something, there were less and less to select. I guess Google finally found space that it couldn't dominate. :rolleyes:

      Thanks for the post

        Your welcome BGW, I agree with you, unusually for G it looks like something they half-assed.
