Bottom line is affiliates have to be more professional about the performance and return on their investment. Their time and money worked and traffic produced.
They have to look at how much they earn per hour or day sending traffic to site A as opposed to site B. They also need to be concerned with the long term growth of this industry. Will sending traffic to a site that over rewards them and shaves the surfer actually harm them more in the long run?
Our site performs well enough and I'm looking at how to make it perform better, this performance is always related to the surfer, not the affiliate, because I believe long term that's in the best interest of the affiliate.
My new sites will be a little different and at the beginning I wil not be able to offer an attractive payout to affiliates. When we prove the value of the sign ups I might have an affiliate program that is by invitation only, but only when it's proved.
Until that time do I rely on peoples trust of me to do the right thing and add the profit from the new sites to the affiliates rev share and PPS or do I do nothing or do I generate the traffic to the sites 100% myself?
I'm on holiday and will check back later.
