Make sure you have the latest banners and games available on your website. You don’t want to delay in getting ready for the upcoming seasons and the referrals you can generate from your website! Update your banners as soon as you can!! The second half of 2006 will be HUGE, so make sure you optimize your chances for success. Check out the new games that are available now!

QUARTERLY TIP
An error that is all too common among Affiliate website members is setting everything up and then sitting back and waiting for the results. All too commonplace is a lack of testing your links and of tracking your results on a routine basis.  Don’t make this mistake! Assuming everything is working fine three months, two months or even a few weeks after setting it up can cost you money. If for some reason the link doesn’t function or it is dropping the origin=(your code), it will stop registering results for you and your website. Thus you stop making money.

You don't want this to happen and neither do we. Be sure to check your links every week or two.  Login in and verify that your click-throughs are counting properly and signups are being added. This will ensure that we all win.

GAMES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO PROMOTE
At the bottom of this newsletter, you'll find a summary of the eight featured games that we recommend promoting now. These games represent three different sports and include six fantasy football games, one fantasy baseball game, and one fantasy auto racing game.

The first fantasy football game is the CDM Football Challenge, the #1 Rotisserie-style football game on the market. The second football offering is CDM Fantasy Football. This game is just right for the player who knows his stuff, but prefers a point-style game to the more challenging Rotisserie-style. For the more casual football fan, we offer a low-cost version of this game called Budget Football. It uses the same scoring style as well as the same player salaries as CDM Fantasy Football, but costs much less to play. Budget Football is a great game for first-time players or those on a limited budget. For fantasy players who prefer drafting a team and competing in a league against others, Draft and Play Fantasy Football is the obvious choice. This game features 10-team leagues, head-to-head matchups, and three levels of play. An easy-to-play survivor-style game is Last Man Standing. Each week you select an NFL team to win that week. If your team wins, you're still standing and can pick again the next week. The winner is the last one standing. The sixth featured fantasy football game is the Pro Football Winners Challenge. In this game, the objective is not only to pick winning NFL teams but also teams that win by large margins. If the team you pick wins by eleven points, you get +11 for the week. If it loses by six, you get –6 for the week. The grand prize is awarded to the entry with the most points at the end of the season.

We also are offering a High Roller Fantasy Football game again this year with a $1000 entry fee and a 75% prize pool payout. This is a game for the fantasy player who knows he's good and is ready to put his money where his mouth is to prove it! If you think this game may appeal to your customer base, please feel free to promote it.

For baseball fans, CDM Mid-Season Fantasy Baseball begins at the All-Star break and features easy point-style scoring. It is a great game for fantasy baseball players who had a bad start to the season as well as for those who just can't get enough fantasy baseball!

For auto racing fans, Checkered Flag Challenge – Circuit 2 lets the fantasy player pick a team of drivers each week and then hold on for the ride of his life. Accumulate more Nextel Cup points than the competition, and drive into the Winner's Circle!

By clicking on each game's logo in the summary table, you can easily go to its website to access the complete rules, pricing, and prizes.

As a reminder, to promote a game and receive credit for the entries you generate, you must first put the banners and artwork on your website and link them to our games with your affiliate code. To do this, visit the CDM Affiliates website and use the Graphics and Artwork and Linking Instructions pages. Please feel free to contact us if you are having any problems with this.
