Hi All, I've a question regarding video/dvd affiliates and customer shared programs.
When I first constructed my film site I used Amazon for video sales, there was no great return financially from them and a local (UK) based company stepped in offering me better terms and service.
But now, with an ever growing site, I feel I've outgrown this partner and the return on the amount of custom I handover is not good.
So should I seek another partner, and where would I find one?
Or should I set up a shopping cart/e-commerce system? But where might I find a supplier?
Any help, advice, or tips would be appreciated.

Hey, can I see your website? Mine is http://www.movie-vault.com - perhaps we could do a link exchange.

If you use Amazon correcty and really target the products you try to sell to your visitors, you should do well. But if you don't want to go that way, I guess the next best choice would be to be to seek a new partner.

I agree with Marc. Target the products well. Don't just put up a generic video/DVD link or search box. Really tailor it to the products. It does work.

Just to answer to sdebank question: join Commission Junction. There are a couple dozens video/dvd merchants there and you may even advance-search for the ones that surely ship their goods to the UK.

u should know that ur site(i tested review.pl) is easy exploitable. i just tried for fun to do review.pl?review.pl and it returned the source code(though, the html returned the output of the html).
---------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl # Generate a HTML MIME header print "Content-type: text/html"; print "\n\n"; print "\n"; $method= $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}; if ($method =~ /GET/) { $username =$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}; ############################ # Prevent recursive directory calling # ############################ if($username =~ /\.\./) { print "Sorry, the page you tried to reach does not exist."; exit; } print <<_EOF_;
EOF_ open (FH, "$username"); print ; close FH; print<
EOF2 } else { print "Error: Sorry, you must use the GET method to call this script. Please change the method to be GET instead of $method and retry. Thank you.\n"; } print "\n";
---------------------------------------------------------
You should secure your script more, hackers can deface ur site and do other stuff, so beware.
