I always appreciate your bluntness! So, please enlighten me! What IS going on? With all due respect, it always seems like you are trolling me in my DG threads. More often than not, you are in our threads, speaking for some mystery affiliate. You've heard this and people say that. As an address to heresy, I happily invite you to try our programs for yourself. I'll give you the absolute top payout, any landing pages or promo materials (if we don't have it, I'll have it built for you) and pixel placement for optimum tracking. If you find any of these accusations to be true, I will be in your thread, eating my hat. What is really funny, the people I do see badmouthing DG usually are those who sent 70 clicks in bot or incent traffic and still expect to get paid, even after breaking several rules in our terms. But, we take much of this on the chin. Few people know this.

There is a great difficulty in running 2 different pay per lead programs. We strive to be fair and just, while getting more scammers and rule-breakers than true, hardworking, honest affiliates. We encourage our affiliates to contact us for anything they need or do not need/want in their campaigns. We are very hands-on and ENCOURAGE people to reach out to us and ask for modifications. Everyone starts with the same basic setup, when they sign up for our program. That same setup cannot possibly work for every webmaster!

If you can, please tell me what is the total difficulty in our program? What are the rough spots we need to iron out in order to be a reputable company, in your eyes? Please don't take this as sarcasm. I would really love to know everything you think is wrong with DG, IN DETAIL. I'm asking because you are the most outspoken. You do not have to answer publicly, if you do not want. My email is below.

Thank you for your help! And I mean what I said about giving you the top tier payout!

Affiliate 1- $10,000 a month * 6 months = $60,000
Affiliate 2- $10,000 a year * 10 years = $100,000

Which affiliate really was a better one to have? Now add 100 - 1000 more affiliate #2's (which are far easier to find than Affiliate #1) and what do you get? Sometimes it seems as if some programs don't understand basic business principles. It pays to respect all of your affiliates at all times. FWIW, there's one program I promoted for 12 years. They never gave me any reason until recently not to promote them.
