AVRevenue, new 3mins Hosted FLV for Asian, Amateur Tubes + Bonus day!

[Simon]

It probably won't matter to you, but I was going to sign up for your program and import your videos. At least I was until I saw that you're copying a strategy that I, like many other good webmasters, think is insulting to affiliates. I won't waste any time on promotions where I have to do something to claim money I've already earned. So these lines quoted from your post are what will keep me (and many others) from bothering with your promotions:

3. Email: support@avrevenue.com with your username and amount of joins sent on 2010-07-22
4. Claim email must be sent to email address above and no later than 2010-07-27

In most cases, this is just an example of a program copying what other sponsors have done before without realizing that most experienced webmasters hate this kind of nonsense and it makes your program look bad to us. So I hope you'll take this as I intend it, which is as feedback that you can use to evolve past the point of trying to get your affiliates to jump through extra hoops just to get paid the money they earn by their efforts to promote your sites.

The alternative is simple: just announce when there are bonus days and then just pay everyone on every qualified sale made that day without trying to force affiliates to waste time on unnecessary bullshit like counting their joins for that day and sending your program an email in the nick of time so as not to lose the bonus earned.

Treat us badly and your program is the only one which suffers on the deal.
There are plenty of good sponsors that we can promote who don't play this game.

Stop insulting the people you want to promote your program and you'll see much better results from your promotions.
