Allow only affiliates with at least one actual sale to your program win... Lets get rid of bots and fucken contest whores...they are fucking annoying and they slow GFY down!
That would probably defeat the supposed purpose of getting new affiliates and traffic, but I like it. Whether or not they actually SEE an increase in affiliates and/or traffic is something else altogether. I guess there's enough contests running that would make me think there's something to it. Like was said, the contest whores keep the threads up top.
Make the contest threads worth a lot more and you can't claim your prize untill you signup and send a certain number of signups. Now that would be a worth while contest.

Actually, I think that's strictly against the rules that Lensman laid out for contest threads.
At first they had people posting their affiliate ID in the threads but it was decided against that.
most affiliates with sales don't need to win the contests or have time to watch them, and bots are what keep bumping them. Since a contest is an attempt at advertising, why would you want to stop your contest from getting bumped by bots?
This is a decent idea, but not practically possible. Why? Sponsors start contest not to give money to affiliates, but they start contents to keep their thread on first page, so that everyone can see it, view their promotions/offers.
Its basically like buying adspace or sticky thread. Keeping this in mind, come back with better suggestion.
