    Should Sponsors Only Accept Affiliates Who Have References?

    I brought this up at one of the seminars and a few things discussed was the liability involved if a sponsor gave a bad reference.

    However I'm sure it happens all the time outside of written contact.

    This could of course help nip the cheating in the bud, but could very well hurt an honest webmaster who had been accused maybe wrongfully.

    In this day and age sponsors will have to take a very proactive approach in making sure to comply with Visa and it seems like knowing who you are dealing with and where their traffic is coming from is going to be a major factor.

                  I bet in 10 years you will need a license probably to be an adult webmaster. You'll have to go to Adult University and learn all the basics and such.

                          On the same token affiliates need to know they are doing business with but really Sponsor's have always known this and only recently have they started watching who there affiliates are.

                          Having ad's everwhere begging for webmasters to become affiliates actually is bad business without a screening process.

                          I think it is a good practice to prevent fraudmasters from comming into a program ridding them makes a program stronger, after all fraudmasters are what hurt webmasters.

                              An honest webmaster would have several positive referrals. One or two negative referrals shouldn't be a problem. Furthermore, if the webmaster was having bad luck with a program, he wouldn't list them as a reference.

                              I don't see this being any different than references on a job application.

                                          Why would you list pimpdog as a reference?

                                              what if you are just beginning? where do you get these referrals? what if you've only started 6 months ago using one sponsor who cheats you and wont give you a good reference? if sponsors want to go out of business this is a good way to do it. twist our arms just a little bit more in favor of doing our own billing

                                                      that was a hypothetical. i could pull out 20 sponsors who have total dickwad retards working the boards for them for this example.

                                                      next thing you know some of the bottom scrapers on here will have a service setup , " pay us x amount of cash for good reference."

As an affiliate I get fucked right and left by lower payouts because sponsors need to cover their ass from cheaters. As an affiliate I welcome a reference based system. I've already participated in several.

                                                                  I don't like cheaters. Either should you. They screw up good things.

                                                                                              This isn't rocket science. As an affiliate I get fucked right and left by lower payouts because sponsors need to cover their ass from cheaters. As an affiliate I welcome a reference based system. I've already participated in several.

                                                                                              I don't like cheaters. Either should you. They screw up good things.
                                                                                              I agree with everything you said about cheaters affecting all our pocketbooks. That's what comes with having a free society ( dont start arguing if we are actually free, this isn't a polisci thread).
                                                                                              There wouldn't need to be a justice system if some idiots didn't break the law. Just imagine how us non-criminals could live if the govt didnt spend our tax money on crime. Why we would have streets paved with gold, the best schools in the world, free healthcare, free college educations, etc.

                                                                                              I wish I could live one day with the ability to make everything work in the way that best benefits me. I really do...

Right now I'm sending traffic to 2 private programs that have higher payouts than any other similar programs in the industry. See how sweet that is? I'm making MORE money largely because of no cheating.

                                                                                                                                      Do I think it will happen 100%? No not really, this is more of a discussion an extension on what was already being discussed a few days ago.

                                                                                                                                              it eliminates pretty much any chance of getting ripped off.

                                                                                                                                              as for sponsors, there are some affiliate programs out there that have done this... QB was one, until released to the public. Probably the most successful case out of any that went this route IMHO. But in any case, sponsors with good fraud protection will continue to take anyone and everyone and hopefully they can catch these scammers prior to doing them any major damage.

You start hurling grade school insults. Your personal attacks render it impossible to have a debate on merits with you.

It's just that I despise anything that makes it seem as if sponsors are doing us a favor by accepting our traffic or sales. It's the opposite. I get really pissed when it's suggested otherwise. It's like all those threads calling for pay to post on Gfy. What in hell is wrong with you people is what I say? You would pay to post on GFY? Pageviews are plenty enough for GFY crew. I don't like sponsors/boards getting too uppity. I see this a lot on the boards, yet have never experienced it first hand from any sponsor I've used. I will never use a sponsor that treats me like they are doing me a favor by letting me make them money. Fuck that. They'll have to go bye-bye.

                                                                                                                                                                      It is because of the free swinging "wild west" days that has lead people to take such drastic measures as to initiate partnership requirements for submissions...or even paid submissions...you will see more and more things like this in the future.

                                                                                                                                                                      yeah I guess eventually it will be a good ol' boy's network but it won't be something you can't ever break into. But instead of pretending that the barriers to enter this biz won't get any tougher prepare yourself now.

                                                                                                                                                                      Get to know people, the sponsors, the tgps owners, the gallery submitters whoever you do biz with.

                                                                                                                                                                      It's amazing how many people you rely on daily just to get biz done...get to know them and you won't have to worry about being shut out.

I said fuck it by that point.

                                                                                                                                                                          On the other hand, as in giving employee references, there are legal guidelines as to what you can say and can't. Don't know how that would apply here but I'm sure it would rear it's ugly head at some point.

                                                                                                                                                                          But anything that cuts down on fraud, shaving and the endless supply of newbies I would support!
