When a sponsor

[Cleo]

I really hate it when a sponsor doesn't show raw hits.

Add another for raw hits. I want to know how many surfers that clicked thru from pages, not how many their suck-ass tour filtered out by the second or third page. That way I know if what I'm doing on my end is working or not.

I've been promoting almost entirely rev share programs with third party billers lately. My trust for the big PPS guys has dwindled over that last few months. I find it hard to believe that anyone giving me $35 per sale is crediting me for every sale.

As far as bells and whistles on the affiliate site, sure fancy shit impresses me, but it won't be the deciding factor for me joining. I have lots of sponsors which I only promote thru FHGs and HFSs (thanks Chop ), but there are very few that I actively promote with my own free sites or the occasional gallery. I like smaller programs where I feel that they need me as much as I need them.

Ya know thats exactly what I think too. My only caveat is that I think no matter what the size of the program they should treat every affiliate like they need them (because they DO) and never forget that. Personally I think it is important to remember that if affiliates go by by, then so does the sponsor.
