Yes, lets go ahead now and bash all the people who bring you money. That's a bright idea.

ya I have a story, happened on the 1st when I was going through the payouts.
I pay a webmaster referral and it seems not even this is safe from scams!
I had one guy from the netherlands, he requested to be paid via paypal, what he did was signup under his affiliate link, a new affiliate account, then would signup again under that affiliate account and he continued this like 6 times, all different names, all different email address, all pay by pay pal BUT ALL the same IP addresses.
He never had very many referrals under each account but spread them out over the multiple accounts thinking only a couple or so would not be noticed. I can view them by IP address so all his accounts were right there.
what some people will do to try to scam a buck...

I think Hoes list is great and I refer to that list myself when I need another sponsor for something. It's been right on the money.
That's one of the dangers of making these kinds of posts. Fuel for more rumors. "Hey, looks like Steve is slamming Hoes.com", and if he comes in to reply that it's not who he's talking about, the next one on the list and so on and so on...

good rule of thumb! At least give their program a try. I try to do the same as well. Just good business.

Yes I do hate that. Not to much to ask to just rotate a couple through daily is it?

I would not say that is a dirty "trick" - its more like dirty "ignorance", since the affiliate will not get more sales from listing all of the FHGs from one paysite - he will just get alot of bored surfers who are tried of seeing the same FHG template(s) 200+ times, and a pissed off sponsor that does not understand why only 0.005% are clicking thru to his tour from the FHGs.

Its a lose/lose situation!

Some (a lot) of sponsors do not really help themselves with this situation either I feel. Sequentially numbered galleries do not help :2 cents:

True, but with affiliates demanding strict rules to be followed on the FHG (amount of content, amount of outgoing links, no content on html pages etc.), then sponsors are almost doomed to make "cookie cutter" galleries...

I´m certain that surfers would not mind to have a greater variety in both layout, content and sales pitch on FHGs - as long as it enhance the experience in a positive direction :)

why leave the suspicion of affiliates or program owners being scammers when you can start two threads and prove it?

nice going!

ROFL!

All the more reason to have an invite-only program.. Best way to prevent the trash is to vette it well ;)

Do you know of a dirty little secret that one or more affiliates use that results in decreased sponsor income? If so, post it here, no company names needed. I'll start with ones that have always bugged me and is done by TOO MANY affiliates.


- How about the guy that signs up his "brother", "mother", "uncle", "sister", "neighbor" and his dog under HIS OWN REFFERAL, just to send his own traffic and get the 10% referral fee on top of his payout?

- How about the guy that registers domains like TAWNEESTONESOFFICIALSITE.com to confuse surfers?

- Another pet peeve is affiliates that remove our watermarks from content we provide, then add THEIR OWN. or use our exclusive content to promote a competing sponsor.

Others?


Excellent post, Steve. This thread will spark some fights but I bet lots of good comes out of it too. Cheers.

Word. On that note, do you have any pix from the big party Danny & Carol threw @ the office/studio about 9 years ago? I think it was her BD. There was on of you & me at the bar that was priceless:drinkup:drinkup:drinkup

second that. For me it's definitely good info.
I just had an affiliate get all piss and vinegar on me after he basically posted our entire MA on his site. He was "insulted" that I wrote him asking him to take it down immediately. Said it was a simple mistake, that he has a sterling rep and has been doing this for a decade, and he doesn't want to promote us now...
Seriously?
You just posted our entire fucking members area, and I'm the douche? Cracker Please...
Who the hell else will want to promote us if we're letting you do that shit? You're fucking every other affiliate along the way!

Otherwise gotta say that 99% of the cats who promote us are cool, don't fuck around, and send us good traffic, so props to them.
