One of my favourite things about Regnow.com is that everytime I make a sale, I get a little email telling me. I've set up an Outlook rule to put these messages into a folder and play a nice bell sound. So when I get back to my PC, I can easily see that I have more Regnow commission and how much.

This is a great system and works brilliantly!

So why don't all the affiliate networks do it?

Affiliate Window has a little app which popups and tells you when you've made a sale. It works ok and I like the cash register sound effect, but sometimes it's a hassle to have extra programs running and there was really no need for them to write a bespoke application to relay messages to me. There's an existing and well used method for relaying messages to other net users - it's called E-M-A-I-L.

At least they make the effort to do something though. With TradeDoubler, CJ, and Affiliate Future I have to log in and find out. It's time consuming logging into the different websites to see where you're at, and if you're anything like me, you'll be checking quite frequently.

So come on Networks, follow Regnow's lead and start emailing out to affiliates when a sale is made.

Maybe some networks do offer this and I didn't know? Let me know if they do.
