Yes AWEmpire is tracking sales with a 14 day expiry cookie for now. No one of AWE ever said otherwise, as far as i know. Looking at stats, it is true for some guys it works like that as a charm for some it doesn't...
I also urge everyone to get out there and try several programs and compare them, nobody said you must stick to one .
My personal opion, as well as some of you guys', it's the $$ at the end of the day what matters. Does it matter if your ride is a V6 or a boxer-flat6 if they get you 0-60 in 4,5 sec. [k, that might be a bit vague as a metaphor]

As mentioned in this thread, sending 1-5-10-100k of uniques of worthless traffic probably won't convert, though i doubt it will convert anywhere else, or that it would convert after 14 days... or 30... or 90... or ever. Quality traffic combined with a knowledge does convert imho, otherwise it would be quite difficult for some people to make 50k sales a period. Just look at the toplist you will find at least two well built trusted TGPs that have earned trust of their surfers over the years, and actually are able to make t $$ with proper traffic.

As for the ever-returning-topic of "made a sale x years ago and still got rebills", it is just not right in my opinion that you get rebills for years after you've pulled the links after some weeks, put up other sponsors or even shut down your site. Don't get me wrong, all i'm trying to say is that i think if one considers himself a webmaster and DOES work a decent number of hours a day, working with a site that does offer anything to surfers, and uses targetted traffic, in the end of the day will make sales.

Ask any of the guys on our main page top webmasters list if they are satisfied are not, im sure the top 50 would be happier if it wasn't the 14 day cookie.
We are by the way in testphase of a database based revs and pps.
Thanks for all the people that work with us and can convert, and sorry for the ones that cant find a way to make sales with crazy amounts of traffic, you're probably better off with another sponsor, another program.

There is no 'ultimate-sponsor' as far as i'm concerned. X sponsor works great for A and sucks for B, while Y sponsor is the other way around.
It's like that, fact. It will always be like that, not a fact but highly predictable.

You're still not paying more than 2 weeks revshare? :Graucho

Each affiliate has the right to promote the affiliate programs that suit him/her best. We're merely offering the opportunity to affiliates to partner with us and apparently quite a few affiliates are making a nice amount of money by promoting our sites.

If you feel this way then you really shouldn't have affiliates :2 cents:

what is AWE's position on only paying out affiliates for 2 weeks revshare?

why? why not continue for the life of the member?

why not put this in the terms of agreeement?

why not put this as a bolded asterisk point in the programs section?
