AWE Closes Open Affiliate Registration/Goes Invite Only - GoFuckYourself.com

"Registration to new affiliates without an invitation is now closed indefinitely/until further notice. Any new affiliates interested in joining AWE will have to select a referrer in order to join the program (unless they came through someone's referral link)."

I expect to see more of this in the near future as programs lock down their content for affiliate/surfers signing up as affiliates, and non-producing 'partners'. Also since many are cutting support staff. Better to service the producing affiliates, then having staff for dead beats.

you're wrong on this tootsie

AWE is a good program, but they're trying to confuse the webmasters each year even more

anyway, just check the sign up page for new webmasters at AWE.

Basicaslly, every one can join, he just needs to join through someones ref code.
Threads from various boards are posted there where people say how great AWE is, and the new webmaster needs to join through someone... but this has nothing to do with being truly "invite only".

I think this is mainly a part of the re-organisation of their webmaster referral program (there have been threads about that already as well).

Yep they did this a while ago, can't call it invite only though since It's just a marketing technique from their side to get more affiliates.

Everyone and his mom is sporting the AWE link when someone asks cause of the "upto" 36% webmaster ref and the fact that you have to join through someone.

Thats just crazy talk! Don't you know that after the 14 days you have the chance to get a surfer someone else sent there but ended up not buying?

Thats the sales pitch i get when they randomly spam my domain contact emails.
