Eurocamp Camping Holidays Affiliate nightmare
Looking at booking via Camping in Brittany at the moment,,
Sometimes I see things that I just don’t understand, and this is one of them. Quite a few months ago I pitched to Eurocamp about doing SEO for them, I didn’t get the contract, yer can’t win them all but it did make me change the way I do pitches. Becky told me not to give away too much info away at the presentation stage like I always do. Funnily enough I did my normal and told them all the things I would do and when they told me they where creating an in-house affiliate program I thought winner and told them how to use 301 redirects to pass juice, I really went into great detail, lol
So when I was booking conference dates and family holidays last week because every year we normally take the kids to Centreparcs for a week and Spain for a week, but I thought about taking the family camping in Dordogne or somewhere like that. Having 2 boys a camping holiday in Dordogne sounded better than camping in the lake district in the rain… lol and they want to go camping!
So when I did this search guess how much I nearly pee’d my pants. it almost made me want to sign up to be an affiliate. I kinda want to bring up the subject of Google not wanting you to rewrite url’s because they know best
, but I have a radioshow tonight and time is tight.

http://www.matthewsdiehl.comI guess that is what you get when you don’t do some URL cleaning on your affiliate links.
That affiliate must be very very happy tho.

http://www.srclarke.comA long time ago when I did a lot of affiliate marketing, I did very well by having the magic affiliate ID high up in the rankings (ahead of other affiliates or even the “home site”).

I have fond memories from Eurocamp trips 25-30 years ago, so don’t let this stop you taking the kids.

I can not believe Eurocamp did not take you on for there SEO. O well I guess they will be gutted when you come up at number 2 or even better number one! Already number 9 for eurocamp
