Does anyone else think it?s a bad idea to sign an exclusive advertising contact with ANY company? If you have converting traffic for ANY niche, the best thing to do with it is send it to multiple sites to maximize your profits.
An exclusive contract is even worse
1. If you have people that return to your site. Example:
Look at plentyoffish.com for an example. They keep coming back because it?s free. X % click off to other dating pay sites via ads from adsense.com. If plentyoffish.com only had one sponsor think how much $$ they would lose.
2. If you sign an exclusive contract with a site that is too large (saturated). Example:
Some sites are over promoted and that makes more competition for affiliates. If a site already has a millions of members it must harder to find a person that is not already a member. This is why most affiliates never tell anyone their best converting sites.
3. The most likely reason you will be asked to sign an exclusive contract is the company asking wants to ?LOCK YOU IN?. Example:
Company X just made 10 times their investment off your ad space and they want to lock you in and block any competitors from working with you.
If anyone has some of these contracts I would love to see them posted here
