Hi all,

Now that Xmas is coming up, I have put up a new bargains page. This page shows all the current subtitled DVDs in the database for under £10, and ordered by the cheapest first.

Spread the word, and enjoy!

Mat,

I have been looking at the DVD Bargains.

Fcuk me! You are purely advertising DVD.co.uk website - contact them that you have decided to supply a list of bargains in the website which automatically goes to their website so that you would like to have a handsome sum for "re-directing" to their site and no other. Or deal it with an advertising banner exchanges.

Worth a try.

Hmm, well spotted. I have 6 affiliated websites (the prices down the right side on the DVD details pages). I get commission for every DVD sold via one of those links. It seems that at the moment, dvd.co.uk are doing all the best prices on TV series box sets - which is why all the top links on the bargains page are for dvd.co.uk's prices.

The bargains page automatically picks out the titles with the greatest savings and it seems that the moment dvd.co.uk are doing really good deals on a lot of TV series and offering them at much lower prices than their competitors. Its pure coincidence that all the bargains pages seem to feature dvd.co.uk's offers, and I wasn't aware of it.

As I said, I am affiliated with dvd-co.uk and have an arrangement to pick up commission for sales via my links. Unfortunately sales via the affiliate links on the site have always been extremely slow - I think the majority of people are using the site to look up subtitled DVDs but then browsing elsewhere to buy the same title instead of using my price links. Is this what you guys do? It would help to get some feedback and perhaps some ideas how I could improve the site to encourage more people to buy DVDs via my affiliate links.

Cheers,
Mat

Twin Peaks boxset DOES have subtitles available, don't know why it doesn't say so on the box but it DOES! I own it and it's excellent. Here's hoping that Season 2 will be subtitled as well!

Have bought couple of DVDs - through your website - but I also check other like ebay, amazons, checkprice etc. before I decide. I am not bother if 50 pence more on other as I know dvd-subtitles.com need more people to buy dvd from this so therefore increase your profile. I like play.com too.

How do you know if people are buying DVD that is influence from your website?

The site is linked to the online stores via a 3rd party affiliate management website such as Tradedoubler (www.tradedoubler.co.uk). They provide click and sales statistics. I also keep my own statistics of how many people are clicking through to affiliates, but its very difficult to see which clicks lead to sales.

The affiliates are supposed to "remember" customers and pay me commission if the customer continues to buy more DVDs from an affiliate without actually visiting dvd-subtitles.com every time. I have doubts as to how reliable this is though.
