Hiya TekAngel,

Yeah, unfortunately some sponsors do seem to handle things the way Shunga indicated in the first reply to your post.

We get webmasters signing up for CashFetish.com from time to time who either don't list any website at all on the signup form or list a site that isn't online yet or that isn't registered to them.

We don't just cancel or disable their account though. We do take the time to contact each one individually and ask them about it. We continue to do this because we've found that in many cases there's a real webmaster there and it was a simple mistake or they just wanted to list a new site they will be using to promote us, instead of another one they have online already.

I've been in your position, TA, where we signed up with a sponsor and didn't send any traffic right away since we'd planned to use that sponsor on a new project. But they were too impatient and canceled our account since we weren't sending them traffic. I guess it could almost go without saying that this sponsor is not one we'll be promoting anywhere now.

On a solo girl site or amateur site I'd have cut them a break and explained our reasons for not sending traffic yet, since the webmaster handling the affiliate program may not be very experienced with how they should handle things like this.

But with bigger programs, particularly those with multiple sites and lots of affiliates, I'll just add them to my list of those not worth dealing with and move on.

It's not like there aren't thousands of other sites to promote.
