I was so shocked that Wupload.com closed its Affiliate Program that decided to start a new thread on this topic. Wupload’s Affiliate Program seemed to me one of the most prosperous and now I’m just rereading post on their official news blog: “we were able to surpass our growth expectations in terms of traffic, but as anybody in the file hosting business can tell you, traffic does not always mean profitability“. Now, my questions: how should an affiliate program work to prove expectation for both its owners and members? Do you know any other file-sharing affiliate programs with as much high payoffs, but which didn’t fail? What is a secret of their success?I was so shocked that Wupload.com closed its Affiliate Program that decided to start a new thread on this topic.

To be honest, I'm not a real pro in this field, but I've got some positive experience, so I can pinpoint the benefits that an affiliate program can have: - high payoffs (we are all interested in money, let's not lie to ourselves) - whole range of countries included (you should be able to take part in the program, no matter where you actually live) - simplicity (it's boring and tiresome to be engaged in the affiliate program that requires much of your time and efforts). Again, as I was saying, as I'm not an expert, and have participated in only 1 program (at FileTram), take it as just an outlook.
