How long to stick with an affiliate?
 

I'm regularly trying out new affiliates and if after a month or so they aren't producing (compared to my other affiliates) I'll scrap them. How long do you test a new affiliate before moving on?

Do you send them a notice before you dump them?

Affiliate, or affiliate program?

not another one of those people that like to call "sponsors" "affiliates" ..... :helpme

but maybe we should give him the benefit of the doubt, he might be running a very exclusive paysite and he prefers to only have a small number of top performing affiliates working under him... in that case, I think you should maybe give them more than a month before you cut them off and ruin all the work they may have set up in that month in linking and promoting your site

yeah :)
that's a good question :1orglaugh

:helpme :helpme

YOU are the affiliate.

You send traffic to an AFFILIATE PROGRAM or SPONSOR.

Who are you calling "YOU"?? :1orglaugh

what he said.

oy vey !

The original poster. I was quoting your statement for truth.


After submitting I actually wondered if you'd misinterpret and figured "nah, he's probably smarter than that"...

shit... and here I thought it was time to flame some sponsors ass' for dumping affiliates...... instead is just a newb who doesn't yet know the proper jargon ... dammit .....:mad:

:1orglaugh yeah, but I still figured it was worth a half tongue in cheek comment, because there is no way the op would interpret that correctly :thumbsup

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Give your affiliates at least about 30 miles. That should be a long enough trial run to get accurate infos.

This thread delivers... the punch to the face over again and again and again and again and... well you get the point.

:thumbsup

viva la affiliates

I was just thinking that the internet needs a discrete "sarcasm" emoticon that only the "people in the know" would know about :1orglaugh

It's not how long, but how much traffic of a certain kind.

I think it should be based on clicks too. 30 day with 200 hits day probably isnt a good test.

please join my affiliate
