Likes/Dislikes in an Affiliate Program

Useless · 2005-09-18, 10:53 PM

I really fucking hate it when a tour has a link to something which would seemingly be part of that tour, but my affiliate code gets tossed in the shitter and the surfer (which I sent to that fucking tour) can still fucking sign up. I really fucking hate that. Of course, I don't promote sites like fuck me that way, or any other sites in the sponsor's fucking portfolio. Fucking 'A!

Right On!!! My my main sponsors banner selection sucks, as most of them have that fake thumbnail bullshit. Really pisses me off as I occasionally get declined because of that.

mostly what has been said, with emphasis on the promo tools - LOTS of odd sized banners turns me on

- good stats that show referring urls & update often for those of us who like to refresh it every 5 minutes

- minimum payouts less than $100 & more than once a month

- good tours that you can pull lots of info from for text ads (spelling and grammar mistakes on tours & promo tools are my pet peeve)

- hosted free sites that are updated regularly with good content & nice layout. Quite frankly, some of the stuff out there is unusable.

If I like the site & the tour, usually it's the payouts & promo stuff that is my final decision on whether or not I'll promote it.

Yep - there are some sponsors that, if you allow popups on the FHGs, will give me the first one or two consoles, and then open up windows for tours that don't have my affiliate code in 'em, and even go to other sponsors' tours with the first sponsor's own affiliate codes embedded. And it gets even worse when I'm also promoting that 2nd sponsor - it means that promoting the first sponsor can result in my sending traffic to my competition.

Bottom line to me is, if I'm gonna subject my surfers to pop-ups at all, I'd like to be the one who gets credit for the sales.

Give affiliates ready-to-use FHG link codes. Having to cut and paste ref code, base url and redir url for every gallery link is not fun.
