It's easy to just say bullshit and leave it at that. To state why it's BS puts your head above the parapet and can get it blown off.
Different people have different ways of making it work. Robbie has it right one way, make it for yourself and hope others like what you like. Look around at the sites that started that way and look at their success. They help us all, because their customers stay customers on the Internet.
I will continue to go the route I have followed for the last 8 years.
Good post nation-x. We approve very single affiliates before they access the the content area. Many of them that apply and fill in the form at CCBILL are not real affiliates, some give everrything from our site to Yahoo.com as their site. Some name a site that does not exist and some a site that when I check the Whois is listed to someone else or not to them or hidden. When I email them and tell them to put up a banner they often don't even reply.
Surfers or affiliates who think I should not be concerned at who is sending me traffic? Either way thay can go jump in a lake. When was the last time you affiliates were approved to the free content?
Then there are affiliates who do have sites and log in reguarly, yet never send traffic or very very little. Only a few but they are there and complain the moment I block them. No idea what they are doing, but I know what they are not doing. Sending sign ups.
Most affiliates are fine and range from those doing one a month to those do many a day. But keeping an eye on the others is good for the ones we need.
fluffygrrl these guys are the minority, but they are out there. Do you want to be sending traffic to a site with an open door policy on it's affiliates area? Some affiliates area have more content in them than many sites.
