Wego’s New “Affiliates Programme” to Extend the Reach of Its Network
Singapore, 24 November 2008 – Asia’s fastest growing travel search engine Wego.com has launched a powerful, new Affiliates Programme that will bring its network of over 100 travel commerce sites to the pages of thousands of websites around the world.
Wego’s Affiliates Programme will allow webmasters and bloggers to earn extra revenue by placing Wego banners, search boxes and similar tools on their websites. In just one click, these tools will provide instant access to global travel deals from over 100 travel websites via Wego’s cutting-edge search technology. This is the same robust engine that powers Wego’s existing distribution deals with Yahoo!, MSN, News.com.au, Lonely Planet and many others.
“This is a powerful tool that will bring the offerings of our travel partners to new users the world over, ” according to Martin Symes, Wego’s CEO. “We want these offerings to fit seamlessly into their new environments, so we built our Affiliates Programme to be flexible and adaptable to the needs of site publishers and their users.”
Wego’s Affiliates Programme (http://affiliates.wego.com/) is open to any credible web publisher or blogger. The process is simple and it’s easy to get started. No special technical skills are required. The Wego creative will be available in most standard sizes, and special modules such as Desktop Widget and “Hot Deals” feeds are in the works. The suite of creatives can be adapted to match the look and feel of the affiliate’s site. Moreover, it will be regularly expanded and refreshed to help affiliates sustain high conversion rates. Reporting and payment are automated, making the programme even more affiliate-friendly.
“Wego is committed to creating a long-term, win-win relationship with our affiliates,” says Symes. “The Affiliates Programme is currently in beta, and the signup rate is very high so far.”
A price comparison travel search engine, Wego provides objective, unbiased search results at no cost to the consumer. It simply finds the best travel products to buy and connects online users to the best place to buy it.
