WTF is up with affiliate reps who . . .

04-26-2007, 11:19 AM

WTF is up with affiliate reps who cold email and are all "promote my program, promote my program" kind of pretending it is the personal touch, only they have no idea who they are emailing and no intention or ability to reciprocate.

If someone emails me and tells me they are promoting SpookyCash and they have say a fetish program which can convert goth traffic, I'll totally throw some traffic their way and see how we both do.

But don't you all think it is rude for a program to just basically spam and then act offended if the program owner they are spamming asks if they want to promote the program they are asking for traffic from?

not everyone is into trades, and in some cases traffic buying is a completely seperate department from traffic selling.

For example, it would be impossible for us to 'trade' for all the traffic we send out to programs since our outbound traffic is optimized to maximize revenue and not to play with.

..but i do understand your point. Deal making is like carving a statue. Inside every block of granite there is a beautiful work of art, you just need to consistently chip away the right pieces of stone until you have 'found' the sculpture inside.

I would think most people would know who you are and what your program is about..if not they must be very new. I would jump at your traffic if I had a site to covert it.

I've been sending cold e-mails all week, is that an issue? I'm sure I sent one to your program too Medium Pimpin.

I don't see a problem with this, we've been in the industry for years, have promoted tons of programs, etc.

Basically I sign up to a program and send them an e-mail to follow up with me and signup for our new review system. I've only had one complaint so far, from a gay program who didn't understand why they should have to do any work for me. His choice!

No the problem is say myself for instance I dont know who you are or what you do but I see your email on gfy so I just email you saying yo join the program thats the issue. They have nothing to offer other then spamming you to join the program.

I love reps who spam your whois email when they find some of your sites. A recent one didn't even notice that I had links to his program already on that site, and that I was signed up as an affiliate under the same email address as the domain was registered.

Ouch. Annoying a current affiliate is worse than making someone actively not want to become an affiliate.

see! it works doesn't it!

I gotta agree.. I hate being spammed a million times with programs and what I hate more is the people begging me to promote them over and over on ICQ and if I don't reply they will just ask again the next day rather then move on..

And while we are on ICQ LOL why can't people introduce themselves and ask the question they want rather then say "hey are you on"

Simply put treat this like any real biz and when you first talk to someone state your name, website, affiliate ID (if you are a affiliate), and what you need

oh shit, don't get me started in IM etiquette

like people you don't know and never have met IMing you and saying "hey"and that is it

when I am the one that initializes a new icq convo with someone I don't know I always say something like "hey, this is jace from FORUM HERE, i run SITE HERE, i was wondering...."

Hi AmeliaG

Perhaps this is where their "quality" traffic comes from and is sold to the traffic brokers for some $$$

You would think they would be more business like.

PS.

JACE... you should not be making remarks on being proper... RETARD !

I think what you are doing is 100% fine and not at all like affiliate rep untargetted spam. First of all, you have a special pitch and you give the impression that you know what you are doing. Secondly, you are contacting programs to give you special assistance to promote them, not emailing them asking them to promote something without offering something special. Totally different.

By the way, you've got email

My favorite is when you've been working with a program and a rep for years and all of a sudden a new rep comes in and spams you having no idea who you are.

No shit... Some people are really stupid... Had a rep email me in the last week and say.. hey.. we have this new site that would be great for your site yada yada yada.... If they had actually spent the time to look at my site, they would have seen the link on there promoting it already with "NEW" next to it...
