Welcome to the GG&J Board

Here are some other tour/signup related things, as they pertain to getting affiliates to promote your site. This is just from going through your public tour, so if you have a different tour for affiliate traffic perhaps some of this won't apply there.

• Main Page: traffic leaks to Twitter and your email list.

• Join Form: 1-month non-recurring and 60-days non-recurring
Most affiliates want either a chance for long-term recurring members or a high pay-per-signup. Your webmaster information page does not have any information about how webmasters are paid. Do you offer RevShare and also PPS?

• Join Form: cash payment and postal order accepted
I don't see any way that the affiliate code is being tracked for these payments.

• Contact Page: offers intimate items for sale and solicits gifts from surfers.
I don't see any way that the affiliate code is being tracked for these sales.

• Diary/blog
Lots of traffic leaks here. Links to Twitter and other social networking sites. Links to other people's sites in your sidebar and your footer (with what I'll assume is your own affiliate codes). Your RSS feed does not seem to be set up to track affiliate codes either.

• Glamournatrix.com
The join form tells the surfer they'll get a membership to this site free with their membership to MissHybrid. Is that part of your webmaster program and can affiliates send traffic to that site too?

• Glamournatrix.com/links.html
This could be another page of traffic leaks if you have this on the affiliate tour.

• Cookie tracking
CCBill allows cookies to live on a surfer's computer for up to 255 days (your choice).
How long before your affiliate tracking cookie expires?


Okay, that was my first pass through your tour, and as I mentioned, if you have a totally separate tour, join page, blog, contact page, etc. just for affiliate traffic, then some of the above may not apply. On the other hand, if you use one tour for everything you're going to have problems getting anyone with traffic to send it to those tour pages.
