Affiliate Future...Anyone use them?

    affiliatefuture.co.uk similar to commissionJunction

    They are a UK based company and am wondering if they are good to use?

    They only offer bank transfer to UK residents and send checks to other countries.

    Good/Bad?

    I have read good things but I really don't know if the threads are located here at DP. Try searching the forum maybe you can find something...

    I used them for awhile, but they don't have any tracking, which sucks. I quit using them, never made it to payout, kind of a waste of time. I'd recommend going with CJ, definatley a better company with more choices.

    Thanks guys. I have already made $500 in 3 weeks so I can't complain.

    They don't offer direct deposit as they cater mainly to the UK market so I have to wait a month for a check to be mailed. Yawn....so annoying.

    I spoke to their manager - he is just great. Prompt attention and helps so much. I assume it is important and you should also contact him: Brian_AffiliateFuture

    CJ programs do offer tracking, but Affiliate Future's did not, when I was using them. I'm referring to the cookies that your referral creates, not actual click statistics. IE if I send a visitor who doesn't buy for 30 days, most times I will still get paid at CJ, however at AF I would not.

    Which part, during my term with AF not one of the companies offered cookies to track a referred user. Is there one, or more now that does?

    They all use cookies, did you use them like 5 years ago or something? I've used them for a year and never heard or seen anything suggesting they ever didn't use long cookies.

    I used them probably less than a year ago. Specifically, can you show me which company offers affiliate cookies?

    All of them use cookies, that is why your post is so weird.

    I understand they use a cookie, but it immediately expires. If a program uses a lengthy cookie, my point, it's going to be publicized. The majority of CJ programs offer 30 day cookies, but Affiliate Future makes no mention of any length of cookie expiration. Why? Because after your referred customer leaves that site and comes back, you don't get credit. ;) Show me one program on AF that mentions an expiration of cookie, and I'll apologize. :)

    I can't believe you think they would do that, it would be so unstandard:

    From their FAQ
    21. What if the visitor buys the goods next week?
    All our merchants have a 30 day cookie. Therefore as long as a sale occurs within a 30 day period the sale will be attributed to you. If the visitor returns via another affiliate link, the last affiliate will be rewarded.

    Hmm, something peculiar, if your copy'n pasting. FAQ #21 for me is:

    21. I have clicked on my links several times, but it is not showing.
    We only show unique clicks on your account.

    But after looking some more I did find that reference. Huh, I don't remember ever seeing that before, not saying that I'm perfect. I always thought it was substandard as well. Thank you for setting me straight.

    affiliatefutures 30 day cookie is awesome. Much better than many other affiliate plans.
