Any affiliate networks that drop after account inactivity (apart from CJ)

    I know with CJ, that if you have generated no revenue at all by a certain time that you account is dropped.

    Are there any of the popular/large ones that do that too?

    The reason im asking, i was with CJ twice before, same happend twice, i was not involved in PPC, soon il be doing AM/PPC, obviously i intend to be much more involved with it this time.

    Just wondering if any of the other networks are even more strict on account activity, like deleting accounts within a week or two if you have not got going with promotions yet.

    That happened only once to me with Netfusion, but I emailed them and they reinstated my account.

    I've had very little success with CJ and even though I received a warning email, I still have my membership

    And I've read the same here from others....so I'm wondering if the membership cancellation thing at CJ is a thing of the past

    clickbank actually take some of your account balance if you have made sales, but are inactive for awhile.

    Was it just inactivity? for how long?

    How were you promoting? with PPC or other methods?

    Seriously, they just take some?

    I promote with referral ads on my sites .... I don't do PPC as I'm not knowledgeable enough about it and if one does not know what they are doing, can end up costing a lot of bucks

    99% of what I do to earn money is free....yes, I know people say you have to spend money to make money but I'm doing OK ... I'm not going to be a millionaire but it does bring in a few extra bucks

    If you want to see what I do, you can take a look at my blog

    MaxBounty does the same, deleting affiliate accounts after a prolonged period of inactivity. It enables our affiliate managers to concentrate on active publishers.

    It makes sense, and better for the active ones.

    While its on my mind, theres a worry that i have regarding affiliate networks, if thousands of publishers are part of a network, does that not increase the difficulty for publishers as they are all fighting over the same offers, trying to out do each other?

    Ditto, Copeac does the same we routinely inactivate accounts with no activity. No activity is at least 6 months of no clicks/leads.

    it keeps the network clean, and the program running smoother to remove dead data.
