That is the way it has always been.....right from the get go. If you can't sell yourself, you have a problem right out of the gate. I didn't even have an aff programme until a few years ago, because back in the day we had huge traffic from real free sites, hobbyists, and enthusiasts.
I find it disturbing to see so many now spinning their wheels when they should just get out of the way....sigh. |

I have trusted affiliates and it works really well. But they have to be communicative and, of course, sell product.

Exactly. I've never denied a request like that...but it's not like you get that kind of requests often...

Not anywhere near often enough over the years. Most affiliates just take the quickest least amount of work option/tools then wonder why they struggle to make sales.

Staggered most of the time that affiliates don't even ask for a pass to come in and take a look around the site they are going to try to sell. Unfortunately in the past all that affiliates had to do was throw up a load of (program prepared) links so when all of a sudden this throw shit at the wall method no longer works 100,000 affiliates suddenly become 1000.
Having traffic used to be a valuable resource. Being able to sell is now a lot more important.

Long time ago my only intention was to build traffic, build build build, trade traffic build SEO etc, didn't care how I displayed contents or pushed certain sites to sell, I wanted to push ALL sites actually (I was always inspired by the way Freeones did things, have been full aware of their site since it first began in late 90's early 00's) Anyways, now my traffic is mostly gone from Google killing everyones sites, it trickles into traffic trades dying, from my own sites and from other ppls sites losing SE traffic too. So anyways yes, with the traffic we do have, must really know what to sell and how to sell it. Things a lot more difficult now than before, we were all pretty damn spoiled for many years!

Once again I agree with the principal but it doesn't answer my question. What are we supposed to do to "sell" the sponsors site? You are not being specific.
Whilst I understand the growing interest in building in-house traffic it is incredibly time consuming and some of us are not lucky enough to have teams of people to undertake specific tasks. As a one man band it's a case of best results for least work, and I don't mean not working, more prioritisation. One other interesting point are the demands from affiliates. My biggest argument (as a pay site owner as well), is the one of "leak free tours". Your very own site dropped ours because of our "leaky tours". . We have changed that now to meet affiliate demands - but lost tons of "in-house" traffic at the same time. At one stage it was even stated that links to Twitter and Yahoo were "leaks". Catch 22 or pot calling kettle black? |

The problem, i think, is especially evident with "small" program owners (as myself). We try to provide promo material as much as we can, but it's nearly impossible to "nail it" for every single affiliate we have.
Best thing an affiliate can do (for his own benefit too!) is to try to promote our sites using the content that works well in the site he's planning to advertise them in. And what better way then come and grab it by himself? As for not contacting every affiliate asking if they want a password...well, we send (as everyone) affiliate emails, always ending with things like "contact us for any sort of need you might have". Ok nearly no one, probably, reads affiliate e-mails but...what else can we do? Phone them up?

Why should you need to? The affiliate gets paid and that's the affiliates job?

If you are CCBill you can include that in the CCBill email that the affiliate gets when he signs up I think? Or you can just let that be known on your program site?

To be honest, considering also normal users visit that page from time to time, i wouldn't like to suggest them that they can try to ask a free password... fake webmaster joins would increase, and that would just be a waste of time for us. @cots We don't send emails as often as we should, tried to do it once a month...last one is in february as i've been terribly busy with family and stuff (wish there was a blushing smile...)
