"Due to the admin overhead in maintaining affiliates, you need to remain active and referring customers for your affiliate account to remain open. Accounts which refer less than a few signups every month may be closed down."

So if their stuff doesn't convert well or if I am using multiple programs and reaping benefits from them all as a whole then they will shitcan the account if I don't do well with them?

Ok. So this may be good for webmasters with high volumes of traffic. Not for fly by night affiliates. no problem. But the following really irks me as to how they expect to gain serious and experienced webmasters.

"All TGP pages must be approved by ISM before they go live. "

yeah, like people have time to go and get approval everytime they build a gallery. We are webmasters, not cats chasing mice.

"For banner links we pay 40% on initial signups, no rebills.

For TGP's and other active marketing we pay 50% on initial signups, no rebills. "

Biting the hand that feeds them. Send them more productive traffic (via banner spots) and you get less money.

Send them less productive traffic (tgp) and get more? Odd.

Not to mention lack of rebills. How would anyone justify sending traffic to them? The profit margin is minimal. Very minimal.

I wonder how long these guys have been in business and how long they will remain. If they want serious people they should be willing to work with them failry and pay accordingly for sales sent their way.

"To create an affiliate account the steps are:

1. Join the site as either a Standard or Extra member. "

Not only do they cheap when it comes to paying for sales they also want you to pay to join before being considered.

doesn't look like a program I would be willing to promote.

Just my

What do you guys think?
