Webmasters/submitters, what do you want in a program to be happy?
what tools, etc. do you want to think,"ok, this is just what I need to make money"
Not pie in the sky, unrealistic stuff but bottom line, gonna help your business stuff.

I only do mainstream promotions so this may or may not apply. Maybe a program that would provide the capital, resources, manpower, and tools for webmasters to turn their ideas or small-scale tested traffic generation/conversion ideas into large-scale operations. In essence, each webmaster gets to focus on traffic and marketing innovation instead of being bogged down in operations work. The program and the webmaster become partners in turning marketing ideas into profitable reality.
I don't know how workable this is--there are obvious legal, operational, and tactical issues (how to deal with redundant ideas, cost benefit analysis for each initiative, etc etc). One thing's sure re implementation--definitely start very small, keep fine tuning and scale it up. Just my 2c. |

I like sponsors who provide us with "just add traffic" hubs, tools. I could just point whatever traffic or domains I had to yourhubsite.com/brujah and you'd filter it, and convert it.

IMO the market is saturated already with hundreds of affiliate programs and to stand out you need to make something truly unique and even if you include all the stuff people will say here they want, that won't automatically mean that your program will be succesfull.
^ this is just my personal opinion based on observation during sig-whoring, and should not be treated as advice, because polish_aristocrat could never give advice to the legendary 12clicks ![]()

Exactly. Agree with Brujah.
It would be great to just have a place/url to send my traffic to. No sponsor has a great landing page/system. Best I've seen are those megadvd sites with various niches, still not good enough though. How many seo guys and domainowners do you think a sponsor would attract if they had such a feature? Instead most focus on the higly profitable tgp's... Most importantly: have raw click tracking as default. Nothing makes me more pissed off and suspicious than sponsors with join page tracking or any other kind of bullshit stats. I refuse to send them bulk traffic unless they got a unique product. They are untrustworthy. |

Quality sites to promote.. Sites that are consistently updated as well as lots of fresh content to promote the sites with. Then of course good stats tracking and campaigns.
Quality content and consistent updates sell a site more than some BS hosted 404 pages and useless tools do. Personally I even think FHG's are almost getting useless now days. Between every other site out there using them and programs 404ing them it's almost a waste of time to use them IMO. Just give out quality promo content and provide good tracking tools and let the webmasters figure out how to promote you. Then just spend your time and money updating your sites rather than providing useless tools that probably don't generate many sales anyway.

Focus on great sites and content rather than giving everything to the affiliates and put up with some pretty stupid requests from people that send 2 joins a month...

I only want to push programs that dedicate a coder/developer to me to build me some spamware tools I don't already have done.
j/k (kinda?) Honestly though, I think the crowd these days just wants a contstant supply of fresh galleries to throw in their submitters or fake cj/tgps...and RSS feeds out the wazzu so they can feed their lil spammy blogs & sites.

Everyone talks about conversion ratio this and conversion ratio that, but they're talking about 2nd page clicks so they're not always comparing apples to apples. You almost "have" to show conversions using 2nd page clicks or else your numbers look shitty compared to everyone else's. I see alot of revshare programs making a mistake this way when they offer 50/50 but the program eats the processing fees. That's really the same as a 60/40 program where you split the fees, but most webmasters just see 50% as being lower than 60% and move on to the next program. |

Most of the seo players and domain players want to spend time on getting traffic/domains, not managing links and filtering. But you need a big site portfolio to do as you suggest, so few sponsors can actually do that. Quote:
If it's worth it is another question. Many idiots look at the sponsor count only but the people who see past the scam stats are probably the same people that can send you volume. But maybe I'm desperately mistaken (some big link list owners who do lots of volume and post their stats on boards use sponsor counts...). If I had a program I'd make damn sure to let the webmasters know other programs are messing with their stats. |

as was said earlier, some SEO guys might just want a setup similar to what the domain parking guys are doing. get the surfer their thru the search engine on a general "porn" thing and then niche them down to make a sale.

Few of you mention that exclusive content is the key . I personally don't think it is , you guys heard of wildcash ? That program is on fire the content is not exclusive its all dvd content . Same with pornaccess its an amazing program with all dvd content as well .
The most important tool that webmasters want is sites that convert. mind you i have all exclusive content in my program ![]() Cheers |

Hmm. My short list of things I like to see in a program would include:
Killer exclusive content (really good interesting stuff with a good hook) Sites that are high in surfer appeal Good plentiful array of free-hosted galleries (pic fhg's AND movie fhg's) good complete accurate stats Long-term-thinking program that isn't going to close down in a year or two Solid reliable payouts Owner of program will fly and give personal hug to any affiliate doing 100 signups or more in a month ...okay that last one I threw in as a perk, not a "must have"

Oh yeah, and none of this "fee" shit. Cheque-printing fee, processing fee, handling fee, the fee for not charging me a fee fee,
There are plenty of programs that just pay their affiliates what hey earned, and nothing else is on the statements. I'm not one to quibble about a few bucks here and there but it's become a small peeve of mine to see so many other programs nickle-and-diming their affiliates with the fees. Hey, you asked. :D

Aside from all the obvious things, the one thing many programs lack is text/information to work with. Bloggers and such really need that.
Also, with the rapid growth of review sites, some automated temp pass thing for affiliates would be nice. When reviewing sites, all the mailing back and forth as well as waiting for replies wastes way too much time.

Something else which is more than faintly ludicrous is that the best tools - customs ads, restricted content, etc - are (when available at all) usually kept for the biggest affiliates: those who need them least because they have the knowledge and resources to provide their own. The standard of assistance provided for newbies is generally dismal. We cannot seem to shake off the notion that in this business it's every man for himself, yet what is the point of running an affiliate program unless you try to make everyone in it earn money. Okay, so it's tough they cannot earn for the sponsor without earning for themselves, but no-one said this is a perfect world. It's simply too wasteful and expensive to be constantly appealing to the whole webmaster community for affiliates, and then leave it entirely to chance whether they work out (for you). Seriously, the first thing I would do if I ran an affiliate program would be to start classes in some shape or form and provide the tools I know people need, rather than whatever happens to be convenient and traditional. Follow the principle of the Catholic Church about "give me a child by the age of..." to build some loyalty and trust. Keep promo material fresh and delete stuff which isn't working. Make the webmaster area as fast and easy to use as possible. Answer emails. Check out affiliates sites and offer them advice if you can see anything wrong. Etc. Etc. In short, this industry needs to get away from the hands-off, commission-only sales mentality and start working more like the franchise world, which recognizes that it is in the brand owner's interest to ensure that the people selling his stuff do the best job possible. Forget prizes, extra-payout days and the rest, which end up mostly as unworked-for bonuses for affiliates who are already doing well: put the money into developing proactive affiliate support. |

I come from the mainstream industry where stats and information related to the affiliate is delivered back to the affiliate. I crunch numbers for a living and if I cannot crunch your numbers, I go elsewhere. And as to shaving... if your numbers don't match my numbers within reason... I don't complain... I just leave. It's harsh but I don't want to waste my time. So, give me an API to count and track stats so that I don't have to scrape. If your program/site works, I can generate tons of good traffic. ty, M. |

I remember when I was promoting True Cash many years back they had (maybe still do) a temp pass thing You could get a temp pass just by clicking in the webmaster admin area.. I'm sure that somrthing like this would be easy to implement.
