Hosting Affiliates always disappoint

    Why?
    Users DO NOT buy the first time they click, and when they return to buy, it will not be through your link

    Only if you have friends or relatives teaming up then yes it will work

    That is the cold truth

    I run 4 sites with 2 of them (~6000 visitors a day) running hosting affiliates, it's been 6 months and ZERO purchase although HUNDREDS of clicks

    SO WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS ONLY MAKING THEM MORE POPULAR

    PLEASE excuse this post, I NEVER do this sort of stupid looking thing, But, it's a verification to this DP forum thing I have to verify... I only need it to remain here for about a half hour. I'll delete it immediately afterward. Thank you. I really appreciate your patients.

    If you want, you should use blackhat method called ****** *****. You'll get sales no matter what the users do. However, the risk is getting banned.

    We give credit to the affiliate if the customer comes back anytime in a year and buys, and i know others do that as well. Sounds to me like the hosting company isnt making the sale after the client visits!

    I've had similar experiences with hosting programs...

    I've tried most of the popular niches: dating, weight loss, RX, hosting, etc. I've found the most success in the financial niche. In particular, I've been doing extremely well with payday loans (see my sig). It's very competitive like any popular niche, but it's in high demand and payouts are great...

    I did not sell a product within 6 months. May be we just do not know how to promote it.

    your sites niche is webhosting or something related to webmasters ?
    and your traffic from which countries are ?

    you must do something wrong, with so big traffic as you claim you should have many sales

    Sometimes it takes a while. I know we put tracking cookies for a full year, so if someone visits and comes back months later our affiliates still will get the sale. It comes down to are people clicking the link to go to the hosting company, and in sufficient numbers to make sales!

    Maybe offer your own incentive to make sure the people come back to your link before purchasing
