This thread will be an interesting one.

What is your opinion on why affiliate programs close doors?

Here is what i think :

1) Many who start affiliate programs, dont have business experience, degrees or a serious business plan.

2) Some, who start affiliate programs dont think of it as a long term business instead short get rich quick mentality.

3) Many dont have a monthly budget projection or analysis and just spend random.

4) Many new affiliate programs try to compete with companies who have been in business for more than 3 years thinking they can match their offering on commissions and payouts. For instance, many inexperienced new affiliate program owners have no idea on how to be profitable but yet offer high $35 pay per sign up on trials.

I personally think instead of all these new affiliate programs opening up and eventually closing doors, should just work with companies like SilverCash, TopBucks, PlatinumBucks, AdultLounge, SmashBucks, LightSpeed or others who have a long term business plan.

Folks, its not easy to operate a successful affiliate program. Companies like i have mentioned above have experience, quality content, in house staff, funding, and much more....You are better off sending your traffic to them rather than starting your own. Think about it. You can be 50/50 partners with pros...just my 2 cents.

There are more reasons but i think i will leave it to see who can fill in the rest and continue from here.

Post along please :-) this thread will be interesting, educational and informative.
