Thank you! That was super helpful!
I didn’t realise about the cost per click bit!The cookies on your browser will store any website data you consent to e.g login and password details, what’s in your shopping basket, or any searches you have done on a website that you visit for future use (unless you manually clear them). For example, if you search “iPad deals”, you’re likely to notice targeted ads for this and similar products as part of any adverts you see on websites after you’ve performed this search. That’s because the cookies have saved that information for most likely the next 30 days.
Affiliate links are referral links to websites and products that are commission based. Traditional commission is usually a percentage of the revenue the brand makes on each sale (or referral). There are other commission models that can be used though e.g cost per click (CPC) and cost per thousand impressions (CPM) and others. An example of CPM would be if DV linked one of the dildo candles, even if no one buys it, if 1000 people swipe up to view the site, she could still make money if the commission type is CPM.
Cookies therefore aid the affiliate revenue process because if I swipe up to view one of Dani’s aff links, that link / website data will be stored on my browser via the cookies, most likely for 30 days. Which means if during those 30 days -if I don’t clear my cookies- any purchases I make on that site (for example, Amazon), DV would make a commission on that purchase, even if it’s not the item she linked
This is where they get greedy! As an example: if Dani puts an aff link to Amazon for a hot water bottle that costs £20 and I swipe up to view it but don’t buy it then close the link down, the cookie data stores the affiliate link. 5 days later I log in to Amazon and buy for example ... a £900 TV, Dani makes money off that £900!
Hence, the greediness. Aff marketing is highly lucrative— in 2017 the industry was estimated to be worth £1.3B.

Sure! Post awayI didn’t realise about the cost per click bit!
Do you mind if I post this on another tattle thread? Don’t know if you guys know of Fopperholic, but she is a prolific head when it comes to affiliate links
Thank you!!Sure! Post away
She’s a first class twit. She’s an ex Slimming Worlder and a narcissistic shithead. Fopperholic is a combination of her Food and shopaholicFopperholic?!! What kind of a username is that I’m off to have a nosey.
That is ridiculous reason behind the usernameShe’s a first class twit. She’s an ex Slimming Worlder and a narcissistic shithead. Fopperholic is a combination of her Food and shopaholic
She’s had the username for years and somehow it’s never crossed her mind that it sounds ridiculous
Yeah it’s not really a big mystery as to why her engagement isn’t growing if all she ever posts is tit for people to buy or to show stuff she’s been gifted. Most of her peers produce at least some form of content between those!Having a woe is me on Twitter
Oh fu** off DV!!! Moan after moan after moan. I don’t even have any sympathy for her because she’s such a wet tissue, she has such an easy life always sitting on her pained arse, never once worked a hard job in her life and has mummy and daddy on hand always to help her out. I don’t see her relationship lasting... who’d want to be with someone who lays around like a stranded beluga whale? Her content is dry. It’s good she’s admitting that she’s just an “ad girl” now, also WOW it’s obvious she’s making a dig at Callie by saying she doesn’t get any campaigns anymore... it’s like I bet she thinks like “why didn’t I get featured.,,, woe is me no one cares about me” I dislike callie too but I get major fake friend vibes from DV. Like she’s the type to say congrats but secretly wish it was happening to her insteadOmg poor Dani. Go away you sad excuse!! Imagine the likes of my hubby that’s very ill and had to get up and do a 12 hour shift in a busy hot kitchen as a head chef with 6 kids to provide for. That’s hard. Now on 80% furlough but all our bills are more. She needs to realize her absolute privilege!
I cant see DV on Instagram anymore. I got blocked after I accidentally hit the “wrong” answer on a poll (seriously, I never reply to polls and hit an answer with my fat thumb as I was scrolling through her stories!). Within a few minutes I’m blocked!
Hit me then what a stroppy little madam she is! For quite a few years I enjoyed her content, as a fellow big lass with a pain disorder it was nice to see “me” represented. Around the BumBum stage and sofa chat time I started to get fed up with her entitlement and fakeness - then the blocking cemented it. She’s a twit.
It bugs me that she plays the victim. Yes, I believe her pain is real, and I do empathise, I’ve had times where I’ve been bedbound (inc needing a wheelchair for about 6mths) But it doesn’t have to define you. To a certain extent she’s choosing to put her life on hold.
She needs some purpose in her life. A proper job. Perhaps then she’ll get some self worth.
