    Sponsors deleting 'inactive' affiliate accounts = unprofessional

    Dear Affiliate
    We note you have an active affiliate account that has not been used or made any sales in the past 8 weeks, we are currently performing a database clear out of dead accounts, over the next 30 days we will be deleting accounts that have made no sales in the previous 12 weeks.
    Cost of keeping 'inactive' affiliate accounts = $0.00.

      Who is that sponsor? What if I am ramping up an ad campaign and had no sales for 8 weeks because I was prepping. Then I launch and my links are all dead?

      Please expose these buggers.

          We at KM bucks don't clean out inactive affiliate accounts.

          We would rather try to contact affiliates and help them promote our program.

          I just think that is common sense!

                  Sponsors who do that don't realize how many webmasters took part in the build it and forget it types of campaigns years ago. Either that, or they do realize and they're crooks who want to steal trickle traffic.

                      Why not hit you up and ask if there is anything they can do to make you ACTIVE?

                      Poor marketing

                                      they must use it as a sales tactic because deleting webmasters is absolutely insane.

                                                      If they delete you, they already considered you gone forever.

                                                      But yeah, there's no real reason to delete old accounts. None what so ever.

                                                              Very true. It's a couple bytes of information in a database. There is no reason to delete 'inactive' affiliate accounts and it doesn't cost a sponsor anything to keep them, but to have somebody go through and delete them cost them money. A few cents for making a query, but still a few cents is more that $0.00.

Either way, why would you want to continue doing business with them?

The cost of the storage space it takes to keep either address (and subsequently the actual PERSON) is simply negligible.

That happened to me with Gigacash. How the heck am I able to control the amount of chargebacks, when I'm sending them regular run of the mill TGP traffic?
