Paysite Reps and Passwords

[alessandro]

I've requested temp passwords in the past too and going to do it again soon as I need new reviews for a new site I've revamped few weeks ago. I also have to say that there were sponsors who gave me temp u/p within minutes ( when discussing with them on icq ) and I can enumerate some of them here: *************, topbucks, pimproll and others who said they don't give out temp passwords to webmasters.

However, what I can't understand is: what are they afraid off? Do they think that webmasters who promoted them for 1, 2, 3 or even more years, made them money would mess their members area? Would those long run webmasters take the risk to damage their reputations? Don't think so. 3 day trial memberships are cheap, webmasters can definitely afford them if necessary

You did, or did not get a temp password from us? You should have not had trouble to do reviews or look things over.

I'm not sure why someone would absolutely not let an affiliate see what they're promoting, lol. Makes no sense

Because some affiliates are scumbags - I'm sure somewhere down the line some ass requested a password & posted it on his hack site or something like that.

I can see where a program would not want to give out a un/pw to a new or small webmaster - and it should be based on prior performance and/or references (not that Boogie is a crappy webmaster )

I'm not sure if you've tried to contact us at ARS. We will always give out temp username/passwords for review. You can contact me at techsupport@i2intl.com or hit me up on icq at 195639.

Another point to add to that is some affiliates think it's their 'right' to rip a good part of the site and put it up, all nice and dandy, as their own 'paysite'. So like GG said, reputation, performance &/or potential. If you aren't already eligible, it's always best to get in contact with your rep - create a rapport. *This goes for 'new' webmasters to a program.

well, I've been runing blog like that for 2 years now, and I almost never had that problem (guess I was dealing with the right people).. now I'm at the point when they send me passes and everything, asking me to feature their websites on my blog... so, I guess the start can be a bit harder (like always), but once the things start rolling - it's all easy... good luck with it!

I think the practice of free passwords was originally curtailed when surfers figured out how to use a sign up to the affprog as a way to get a free one.

Of course, anyone that actually is sending sales should have a u/p for the duration of them promoting the site. Seems like marketing 101 to me.
