The individuals whose heads turned your way when that comment was made are people I have a lot of respect for and I've heard POR described as 'underrated' and 'the industry's best kept secret' on more than one occasion. You must be an attractive prospect for an investor right now so I'm looking forward to a big noise. I’d agree with you completely that great advertising doesn’t make a great network.

It is often the case that only the real experts in Affiliate Marketing know about Paid On Results, use Paid On Results and make good money from them be it Affiliates, Merchants or Agencies and it’s the less clued up folk who simply read a few magazines and think they know it all, like David Hall and his applauding view that you have to be a big “branded” Network to have good technology, this simply tells me that David has no right to be in his current role of IAB chairman for the Affiliate Marketing Council because he has very one sided wrong view that you need to be “branded” to offer great technology. Anyway expect Paid On Results to be shouting out more and more about the great technology we have to offer and once we actually get the right investment the other “branded” Networks had better watch out because if we are this good with very little money just wait until you see what we can do with real investment :) I wouldn’t say Affiliates who use many Networks where giving me a “telling off” for not doing enough to let the world know about what great technology, I think like me they are a little frustrated that Paid On Results have some great technology and bring many of the industry firsts to the table, yet we lack the investment for big budget media campaigns to have articles and adverts to promote these to “brands” via the likes of NMA and Revolution.

The discount codes sector has a fairly distinct set of issues of its own. I'm not involved in the loyalty association at the moment, but I'm sure any of the members of that panel could point you in the right direction. Hi Joe,
