Touche'

Only you Can prevent Forest Fires!

That is what JoeBucks does . . . we get credit for telephone sales all the time.

We are here working hard to get the RIGHT changes that need to be made.

give me some time, Rome wasn't built in a day....

shizer ;)

Ramos, send me your ref code

No ref bro, shoot me an email:thumbsup

The lifetime cookie does NOT get overwritten I have been playing with the codes since lastnight when Ramos called me, Its a lifetime cookie that WILL NOT get overwritten with a new click

So if you are promoting fleshlight, I would highly recommend zero framing it into your highest traffic sites so that you can score the most cookies. Don't worry about actually promoting it, just get the cookies set and let other people worry about making the sale.

The rule for cookies should be simple: New click means new cookie. Lifetime cookies reward the oldest affiliates and punish the newer ones.

Alex

Good idea, but... A promo code usually means a discount (for the end user), so what cut are you willing to give for that? 20%? So sales on the phone with your promo code should credit you only 20% instead of 40%?

I'd be willing to go for that.

Alex are you suggesting that you iframe the fleshlight.com page (with your ref code of course :) ) in your page? DONT please. Cookie stuffing in that way will get you banned in 0 seconds.

But yeah I can see your point.

Then maybe you should switch to 1 month cookies over lifetime, lifetims is shitty as everyone here has explaned, or atleast make them so they can get overwritten

Cookie needs to be set for lifetime but overwritten by the next referer.

Phone numbers need the "promo code" thing and the operators need to ask for it.

But what about that ref code that got replaced with a new one?? Haven't seen any reply to that issue.

bustin balls!

Bullshit. I am guessing by your name that you are associated with the program. If so, go back and read http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showpo...7&postcount=55 and follow the link.

There is no reason why anyone has to take a paycut just because you can't get your shit together.

If you are not associated with the program, then ignore the above.

Damn, this thread has been so interesting I read every single post

hmm...so a competitor could iframe my fleshlight ref code and get me instant banned? :Oh crap

I already did . . . . sorry about that. :1orglaugh

i think you all need to go back and rethink your entire affiliate marketing strategy. I am pulling all my flashlight links tonight until you all do...granted, it ain't a lot of traffic, and the 2 sales I DID have were "cancelled" (funny though, in all my years marketing tangible good I have never had a "cancelled" sale), I still am not going to bother with you all

I do find it ironic that such a terribly run affiliate program/backend can all the sudden be so snobby as to say "we are now invite only".....LOL

you are missing the point

do your history, I am here to make changes

affiliates is where my heart is.....

you'll see, but continue as you may

some good advice in this thread

is the 1 year cookie gone?

are the backend stats fixed so we can show clicks and also get webmaster referrals?

are the traffic leaks fixed?

say yes to all 3 and I might consider keeping on, but if you give me that "good points, we will work on them" one more time I will puke

don't work on it, do it

Once the program is ready to go with all the correct info then I will be more then happy to add you into all my members areas ramos :)

yes sir :)

thank you pete

anytime Ramos, hey ill see you at Xbiz in July bro

Hells yeh

not yet bro

Ramos, did you ever get my email about a free fleshlight? I helped DWreck out with something, and he asked me if I wanted a free fleshlight. Then he said to email you and that you'd get me one.

Right now it is 0% right?

For the record, Fleshlight was invite-only from day one (1998-ish?) until a couple of months before Juicy & Co started promoting it on here. I guessed the belated flurry of activity was because sales were winding down and I have often wondered if any affiliates signed up from here have had any success with it.

If that was the reason for letting the riff-raff in (until for whatever reason they reverted to invite-only), no-one should be surprized that the program includes a few "trix". They might be oversights, but...

For the record I'm an affiliate. If you're an affiliate then I'm in the same class as you, exactly, to the dot.

LOL never attribute to smart evil intentions what you can equally well explain by stupidity.... Enough said :)

The program is in need of someone like Ramos to rationalize and reorganize it. Sales are not "winding down" in fact they're winding "up" for a huge explosion of profit. You probably arent making enough sales to be able to see that from the order numbers, thats the only way *I* can see it, because of the pitifully inadequate and ridiculously non-existent affiliate support tools, but yes, the sales are up tremendously year over year.

LOL I was speaking figuratively. But yeah, you'll get checked out for sure. If its not your site then d'oh, but yeah, these things get noticed. If one day you send 3 clicks and the next you send 30000 you betcha they notice.

Unfortunately yeah, and I've complained about the traffic leaks long before this thread hit GFY. Nothing doing, they intend to keep their 800 number super visible. Makes sense too. You just have to live with a few leaks. If you go to ftvgirls (not picking on them, just as an example) with my ref code, and then decide to sign up via the phone, I dont think I'll get my cut either.

Then why are you making comments about what will or will not get an affiliate banned?
