Guys, I really appreciate your responsiveness here!
Let me address these concerns one by one:
KlenTelaris - A lot of negative threads about AWE -
Yes, there used to be some negative threads about us, unless I'm mistaken these would have aged significantly now, and shouldn't be relevant any longer. But if you have questions, do not hesitate.
- Yeah, almost every big tube have AWE popups, so there is a big chance how tube will be created instead, one of more reasons why is bad idea to send to AWE.
Please see my comment on this below.
JuicyBunny - Negative threads - see above
MLM - Should we call it an affiliate program? :D
Tiered payouts... - What is it that bothers you about tiered payouts exactly? In my opinion it's an incentive to promote more, and a rewarding system, maybe I'm wrong?
MrMaxwell - I'm sorry you would have gotten pissed off in the past, unfortunately this is something that happens from time to time, as it's hard to always satisfy everyone. However, I can tell you quite a few things have changed since a couple years ago. The most significant changes which you should consider is a change of product owner, a fresh set of affiliate managers, and a systematic improvement of our tools, whitelabels, and general level of support. Ask me anything specific, and I'll address it with pleasure.
faxxaff - There are too may ads throwing cookies into the air with popups, popunders, etc. It's very unlikely an affiliate who drives the customer to the site will be credited with the sales. It's a concern with many other programs, too. That's why I don't bother. Just my 2 Cents.
- An understandable point, indeed our company is known for buying quite a bit of media, as we need to keep the worldwide addiction to our service alive ;) However, in reality, I still have lots of webmasters who signed up last year, who are continuously growing their lifetime revshare member base, period after period. Which tells me, there is still a huge amount of users out there, who will be new to our services, and therefore grant you commissions. If you're not convinced, we also have the whitelabels tracking on a domain basis, meaning you get credited for all sales made on the signup whitelabels.
PornMySex - No free signups in stats. Support told me years ago it will be done very soon.
- We understand the necessity for this, and I'm personally lobbying to implement this. I'll make sure to let everyone know when it's deployed. In the meantime, you should know that I send signup reports to webmasters all the time, it's just a matter of reaching out to me on skype (larsawe1) and be nice to me
brassmonkey - the generated links are a mess!
- You mean the linkcode is too long and ugly? I kind of agree with you, and will see what we can do about this. But is it really a reason for not promoting a program?
Keep em coming guys, please keep it objective and factual, feelings are not important here, business is.
Thank you,
