Homegrown Payout question

[emmanuelle]

Slightly off topic, but Far-L are you still promoting amateur sites through ref codes in your member area? We notice the odd sale coming in, which then reminds me that we have not submitted any pics to Stef in a while. If you're still doing it, I'll have Kassy get on it this week.
thanks!

We quit doing it a while back. We will bring it back though when we can pay our affiliates a cut of it and when we are set up to track whether the amateurs are sending back traffic like they are supposed to do but so often don't.

I prefer revshare. (I'm not much of a sponsor promoter, but I would never want to try and push sales to crappy flashy sites that I know people are going to cancel on after they see the inside.) I think revshare is always the fairest way to do everything from both sides, as someone who runs an affiliate program and as someone who sends traffic to them.

Homegrown does well on my traffic. My trials convert at 1:3, which I think is good.

Cool, thanks for mentioning that.

Our trials have historically consistently converted between 34% and 38% from trial. I know from talking to others that is pretty darn good in this day and age.

mods... thanks for moving this thread to this forum. I was not intending any spamage from it - in fact... I think I was taking a risk to our reputation for bringing it up at all since I knew it could be perceived negatively.

Thanks all for the great critical feedback!
