Merchant Comparison Model
Submitted by Gigglesoup on Mon, 06/02/2008 - 17:39.
I have a question here about your landing page movierentaloffers.com. I really like the merchant comparison model, but wonder if the "better" merchant (in this case, Netflix) gets miffed at being "better" and not "best," particularly since you are also one of their affiliate publishers. I'm thinking of using this model, but worry that I'll get axed by one of the merchants for making their product a "better" and not the top. Or, is this something not to be worried about?
Not something to worry about
Not something to worry about at all. It could even work in your favor eventually. The 2nd place offer sees they are in 2nd and ask you to put them in 1st, at which point you ask for a raise until it really does become the best offer (to you).
I've never been reprimanded
I've never been reprimanded for putting one merchant above another. It's just business, and merchants understand that.
