I heard from several affiliates helping with donations to the South Asia tsunami relief effort. Network shareasale.com is offering $1 for $1 matches for donations from both merchants and affiliates. The donation period was originally supposed to end after a week, but that period has been extended. It will likely end on January 20, which is when the affiliate accounts are balanced out. Shareasale.com officials say that so far the program has been a big success. Most of the pages on alexscoupons.com have links to the Red Cross Disaster Relief and World Vision, including front page placement for the Red Cross Link. In addition, pcsecurityshield.com sent out a newsletter to its subscribers and posted an article about how to safely make donations online. Babylounge.com will donate their January 2005 affiliate program revenue to International relief organization, Feed The Children. Reliefsearch.org will also donate 100 percent of click revenues generated from searches to the tsunami relief efforts.

A few other affiliates were mentioned as doubling commissions or making donations but I couldn’t confirm those before posting this entry. Start blogging and tell me what you’re doing to help the tsunami victims or anything else that’s on your mind.
