Paid Search Activity
Affiliates may wish to generate extra commission by using Pay per Click (PPC) advertising programs, i.e. Google Adwords, Yahoo, Bing.
These can help drive traffic to your website, which in turn will increase the number of visitors to the New Look website - boosting sales and earning you extra commissions.
New Look runs its own PPC advertising campaign; therefore we have prepared the following guidelines to ensure that there is no miscommunication with affiliates on PPC driven traffic.
- Affiliates are not allowed to bid on our brand name as a keyword within paid search activity (e.g. New Look; newlook.com, new look)
- Affiliates are not allowed to bid on mis-spells or variations of our brand name as a keyword within paid search activity (e.g. newloook, nwlook, nwelook)
- Affiliates are not allowed to bid on hybrid (brand + generic) terms that contain our brand name (including misspells and variations) within paid search activity (e.g. new look dresses, new look shoes)
- Affiliates are not permitted to appear under search terms that contain our brand name.
To ensure you do not appear on these terms, you are required to assign a negative broad match to all New Look brand terms, including New Look, newlook.com, newlook.co.uk,NewLook.
- Affiliates may not link their PPC adverts directly to newlook.com or any sub-domain of newlook.com
- Affiliates may not buy, own or bid on any domain names with the word ‘NewLook’ in the URL
Brand terms may be contained within the subdomain, e.g.:
- www.newlookoffers.com – Not allowed
- www.offers.com/newlook - Allowed
Affiliates are encouraged to promote New Look through the use of generic keywords, and are allowed to bid on pure generic keywords (e.g. winter coats, maxi dress) and drive this traffic through a landing page to newlook.com
Ad Copy Restrictions
- Affiliates are allowed to use our brand name within their ad title for generic paid search activity
- Affiliates are allowed to use our brand name within their ad copy for generic paid search activity

Any affiliate found in violation of these restrictions will be given 24 hours notice to change their PPC campaign to make it compliant with the above stipulations.
If this requirement is not adhered to we will cancel all commissions accruing to them until the changes have been made. Any affiliate found breaking these restrictions more than once will be immediately removed from the New Look programme.

In order to prevent out-of-date and brand inconsistent content and creative, affiliates may not hardcode creative into their sites.

Any affiliates who do not adhere to the following industry standard guidelines will face the sanction of removal from the affiliate programme and commissions will be cancelled:
- A valid code is defined as a code that has been legitimately issued by a merchant for your explicit use online. This code will have an activation date and, where provided, a deactivation date. When a code has expired it must either be removed or the fact that it has expired must be clearly stated in writing, not simply by listing the expiry date
- Using “click to reveal” when there is no valid or current code present is not permitted of affiliate publishers including using “click to reveal” to show any deals/offers/sales instead of vouchers
- Voucher code affiliate publishers must clearly detail the voucher offer that will be revealed by the click
- Voucher code directories must contain clear categorisation and separation between deals/offers/sales and discount codes
New Look has also set the following rules for the use of voucher/discount codes:
