Retailers sales would be the same, but they wouldn't be paying unnecessary commission to RMN. Sales commissions make sense when someone is directing new customers to a business. But as has been said in this thread, they were simply better at SEO. The customer was already a) aware of said product and b) showing intention to purchase. These are precisely the value propositions that affiliate marketing was designed for.
- rcarrigan87 10y agoI was with you until that last sentence. Are you saying RTMN's model is the same value proposition as all affiliate marketers? Sites like Expedia, Wirecutter, and hundreds of other review or aggregator websites that monetize through affiliate marketing add way more value to the user than RTMN.
- qeternity 10y agoNo, that was my point. The exact value that affiliate marketers are supposed to provide, RTMN does very little, and probably none at all. They are a complete failure in delivering on the affiliate value proposition.
