As a content affiliate my dedicated voucher code site often gets neglected at busy periods, kudos to those voucher professionals who diligently update codes daily I unfortunately don’t have the time or often the inclination, yes I could automate the process there are a few white labels popping up for discount vouchers such as promotions.co.uk and icodes.co.uk which are great, but that route doesn’t appeal to me. I’m happy just to bide my time and pick up the odd sale by using my own approach.
One thing I would like to see tackled by the networks is the problem of expired codes and in my opinion this could be tackled by serving them up using JavaScript, by using this method the Code, the Offer and the Expiry Date need never be wrong again on an affiliate site (providing the merchant / network updates it).
This would work great on content sites too, where I am likely to use the current code for a merchant when I write an article, it would be fantastic if the code simply updated or disappeared after the expiry date.

I presume this is because people click on expired codes, cookie dropped and affiliate get commission for something that is no longer available.
If this is the case, then what about content affiliates? Say you wrote an article on PRODUCT#A. After 3 months the merchants stops stocking that product.
Visitor comes to your site, wanting PRODUCT#A and goes to merchant. Cookie dropped and affiliate get commission for something that is no longer available.
Just a thought!
I have another idea, what about the merchant hides the discount voucher box for affiliate sales?
my experience is many merchants don’t update their JS code, only done well by well managed affiliate programs only
