I have just been refused access to an affiliate scheme run by a company called Silvertap, an Affiliate Marketing Solutions company.

So what is Affiliate Marketing Solutions? Well it is a term used by Search Engine Optimization companies and marketing companies to promote affiliate schemes for other companies on the web. However with about 46 people searching the term each month, it is actually an excuse for their own poor optimization. Why attack this term when Affiliate Marketing has over 8,000 searches a month?

But then Silvertap are fourth for Affiliate Marketing Solutions and only 79th for Affiliate Marketing; I guess their position for the former will impress their merchants. This post has been replaced by another on as they do actually rank high for Affiliate Marketing under another name!

Anyway not sure why I am posting this, so I will stop, I will not mention Silvertap or Affiliate Marketing Solutions again, well not for a day or so anyway!
