Lately, many affiliates have been in a complete uproar with Google’s aggressive campaign to get merchants to adopt to using Google Checkout. It’s not that affiliates have anything against Google Checkout, but wouldn’t YOU be upset if Google was taking money from you?
Allow me to explain…
What’s happening is that a lot of very large merchants are starting to allow Google Checkout for their customers. Google is also offering $10 to consumers who use their service at participating merchants.
Now the main problem is that all of a sudden it seems that affiliate links are not tracking properly!
I guess the “semi-good” news here is that*CJ is working on trying to find a*solution to integrate with*Google Checkout*since many of their merchants are participating - but who knows if*that solution will be out soon enough to catch most of*the holiday shopping season (a BIG time for retail affiliates).
