And that was enough for me to decide to remove each and every JS based link from our site.  Our traffic suffered dramatically during this experimentation too. Oh...and a customer told me they ordered from those Circuit City JS links and guess what...I haven't seen one darn sale from any of the experiment links we were using either.  A definite no-win, no-win.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If CJ's reading: If it isn't broke...don't fix it.  What's been working for over 6 years should remain.  Let's work on growth.  There are way better directions Internet shopping is moving and I'm so proud of you for being the first to start opening the global affiliate gateway.  Let's work on that together.  Can the JS links.  They're not useful!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If merchants are reading: If you decide, even after the holidays, to run your affiliate program based purely on JS links, we'll unfortunately have no other choice than to discontinue our partnership with you.  And that would make us very sad.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks so much for the powerful visual Scott!  A picture's worth a 1000 words.  Waving from 25 miles away  :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Liz</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Liz Welsh-Tompkins</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Aug 2006 21:55:35 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
