Tell me more about them

Webgains have recently introduced “Page Peel” technology. This provides affiliates with a unique way of making the most of the advertising space on their websites. “Page Peel” encourages the site visitors to “peel” back the page by hovering over the peel back area that is situated in a top corner of the page. Once peeled back, an advert is revealed. This is a great technology for the affiliate - he can keep his website full of content, but entice the visitor into viewing ads in an unobtrusive way.

The Webgains interface contains a lot of information. You can tell at a glance which merchants have the best rates of conversion and pay the highest rates of commission, which makes it easier for you to make an intelligent choice for your site.

Linking Options

In addition to the standard text and banner links, Webgains offers a huge number of customisable and combinable data feeds for your use. These are provided free of charge. In addition, it offers tools such as the iSense Ad Creator which offers contextually based adverts dependent upon the content of your site. You can also use the standard Ad Creator to make your own template based advertisements.

Is the company UK based or international?

The company is UK based but in addition has offices in Spain, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden and The Netherlands. Payment to UK affiliates is made in £ sterling via BACS, cheque or Paypal (your choice) once a week, once your balance has reached the minimum payment level of £20.
