A strong brand it can be debated helps you make sales more than it helps you lose them, but if you don't feel that way, then you have a choice not to promote branded clips from the respective program.
Deleted cookies I agree are an issue but it is well known that cookies are on the way out
What magical pot of cash enables a company to not have to take income from one place in order to pay in another?
Perhaps with your affiliate savvy and genius you can explain that one smarty pants. |
It's not an insult. You're a sponsor primarily and not an affiliate. You're basically spouting sponsor propaganda.
1. Urls on affiliate content is good for affiliates
2. Reverse shaving (crediting affiliates for sales they didn't get) is wrong.
3. Sponsors have to do the bad stuff (from an affiliate perspective) and take x% of sales they should receive otherwise it wouldn't be viable.
You don't seem to understand the affiliate perspective or you choose not to. Now you're clearly being the one who is insulting because I dare to disagree with you about affiliates when I'm primarily an affiliate and you are not. I'm telling you as it is. No affiliate likes urls on promo content. None. It doesn't help US. Some of us only TOLERATE it. And you don't HAVE to do that. Sponsors went for years without doing it.
An affiliate should absolutely credited for ALL revenue they send to your sites. That is the ideal. Saying "oh if I didn't get 20% of your traffic for free using the urls on the videos then I would not be able to pay you 50% revshare" is no excuse. It's bullshit. The affiliate sends the sales, pay them. No excuses. No bullshit. No tricks. No games. No whining.
