what makes a good affiliate program?
 

When you see a site announce that it has an affiliate program open what do you look for in the site and in the program they are offering? What aspects make a site appealing to you as a webmaster choosing to promote it? Do you expect something different from new sites?

solid shaving software.

late payments

webmaster support :winkwink:

Shitty front ends.

over used content

Non password protected members area.

okay maybe I shouldn't have said what do you "expect" :P

honestly guys, what are aspects that you consider when you are deciding to promote a site? What things make a site appealing to you, as a webmaster, when choosing to promote it?

Hot dance music on your affiliate website. Affiliates will love it!

I was not joking about the webmaster support... I think it really important to be able to get ahold of your sponsors 24/7

oxymoron

Good conversions great support and honest sites.

1. Hardworking TGP webmasters Love Free content to promote you sites.
2. Support via ICQ and other methods.
3. Good converting sites.
5. Free hosted galleries.
6. No pop tours also

I hope it helps.

Y'know this is something I hadn't thought of when asking the question, I was thinking more specifically in terms of content, tours, etc, but this is a really good point. Thanks for your reply! :)

this is a big help thanks :)

how much free content is common?

Is up to you.
The more the better.

Try putting movies and pictures.

I think more than 10 full sets (15-20 pics in each set) is good. And it's important to update this promotional content in 1-2 months :)

Of course FHG is very important nowadays.

Good webmaster area (comfortable interface, beautiful design - it's only usability...). To find an excellent software for this look at my sig.

Casacading billings. Good rebills.

24/7 support.

kisskatlyn please can you email me

[email protected] or ICQ see my sig..
Thanks
:winkwink:

My list might be slanted because I run such a program.......

- The most important thing is to have fresh content on the tour that no one else has......
- Personally, I'll only promote sites with real member's areas. Why bother pushing a site that won't retain?

shut up and show us your tits


:winkwink:

A good program owner.

200k + banners.

No offense but the last time I looked at XXXRami it had less content than even 1 tgp. Did I miss something?

Im sorry, I'm not sure what you mean...200K pictures? traffic? yearly yearnings? Sorry for being clueless about this!

hahaha

you first!

i duno why dont u spam like swoit, lens loves it

What is cascading billing? Is that the same as monthly recurring rebills?

hey good idea :winkwink: except I don't have the site built yet! jk!

dont care about anything but good conversions
pay per sign up
and most importanly unique sites, unique or new niches.
Sites that make you stand out from the crowd will make you a winner.

Would you say these are good retaintion #s ??

before I let this thread die I'm just wondering if anyone else has anything to add. The reason I am asking is because I want to build a site and would like to offer a really good affiliate program with it so your input is really appreciated :)

On the affiliate program site I look for the following:

Large payouts in big flashing numbers. "$50 per trial signup!!!" is good. Lots of exclamation points are a must.

At least one pic of a stack of $100's. More pics of more cash preferred though, but at least one is mandatory.

A couple shots of a lamborghini or a ferrari are a must. If you can make them animated so much the better. I like blinking objects.

That's all I need.

The thing to look for is originality -
There are thousands and more programs to choose from including mine - But:
Look for third party billing - This can not be fucked around with meaning you get full payment.
However 'glitzy" the program site is, check that other webmasters actually promote this site - (You dont want a site just about to go out of business as several do every day.)
Some offer far too much promotional tools - Big business entering this arena with cash to throw on gettin big profiles usually lease and purchased their products - Poor retention rates!
Above all, look for honesty (That cuts out sunnydollars.com and a few more)!
Also - Choose 3-4 or even more - depending on your traffic.
Also - Be active - Use your imagination to create traffic. Do tgp's and avs sites and work as if the sites you are promoting are yours - That way, you will make cash -
Hope this helps you!

I would like some explaination as well if you have spare time in your busy schuldule!!

Merci

I made changes in mine:::

http://www.angelonfire.net/webmasters.html

that's a very important selling factor! - remember that when opening your program!:warning :thumbsup

to clraify thats the zie of the banners not quantity.

i hate sponsors who have banners that weigh more than the content on the page.

:1orglaugh

If you think third party billing is ANY protection against shaving you're a fool.

I agree I start slowly but surely.. its a amateur site so its good to see changing here and there and gradually.. most not be static ..the fantsy stuff comes later,,, the content and pleasing members who pull out there credit cards are the one I want to please. So I have to conentrat on important stuff step by step without trying to go to fast...

Thanks Flesh XXX

you really wanna see a bunch of man boobs?

I need to get me more banners.

FLESH XXX

i like that!

bananas, apples, timely payments, chips, speakers, water, high conversion rates, hosted galleries, professional look, bonuses, prizes, security, and vaseline intensive care renew & protect moisturizing lotion. you have to be in full control of every piece seperately also control of the whole thing as one.

someday this can become a reality---> :eatmouse

booze

and free money.

75% recurring and 1:3 with TGP traffic
