why AFF pisses me off

11-11-2008, 01:43 PM

The one thing I really hate about AFF is that they reduce your percentage payout when your traffic drops by a certain amount

Since the start of this recession, I have had to cut back on many traffic buys that just don't make sense anymore

Of course this affects the amount of traffic I can send AFF.

I only buy premium search engine traffic and the volumes are low but the quality is (or was) very high.

So here I am trying to promote my sponsor, and they kick me in the nuts by reducing my percentage just because I cant convert traffic as well as I used to be able

Just sux

I thought the percentage goes up if you send more traffic / profiles. So its not really a decrease in percentage, just no longer getting the bonus rate?

Besides, I think that percentage is just on the initial sale, not the recurring, right?

Keep HookUP.com in mind... Getting very close on our affiliate program... converting great! AFF is certainly impressive, no question about it... however, the chance of someone hitting your paid ad, and then hitting someone elses paid ad, or affiliate link 5 seconds later is probably pretty high.

Yes the percentage is on the recurring, and it is shown as a bonus if you keep traffic up

But keeping the same amount of traffic up when you buy traffic (like I do) in these conditions is certainly making me consider dumping AFF

I know I am just small fry to them, but I wonder how many other people are in my shoes

Have you just tried to ask your affiliate manager? Some times all it takes is an email... "Hey I'm having a hard time right now... Things are tight... Any chance you can help out with my commission?" You might be surprised.

what do you expect from a company who almost single handedly supports the stolen content tube sites? you think they have ethics in one area of the business but not in another?

Can't be too hard to find 100 uniques/day somewhere to keep your recurring ticking. The tiers on initial orders are a little harder to work with. But as suggested you may then consider the PPS.

I tried AFF running it in spots that were available (which is rare... but i needed to fill it with something) so I thought I'd try it out... now I don't know what the issue is, but not ONE FREE JOIN after 1,200 clicked hits to the site.

This is CLICKED thumb traffic, no skim... you have got to be kidding me! Never again, don't bother replying AFF, i'm out. Seriously.

Thanks for the Props mate ;-)

Wish I owned a proggy to take advantage - lol
