What does "parasite free" mean.

 

I linked to 'ya from What are affiliate programs?, but I have two recommendations:

1.Add many more advertisers -- that's what makes an affiliate network worthwhile.
2.Tone down the look and feel of your site. It's showmanship style makes it seem unprofessional.

 

Hi Will and thanks for the feedback!

1) Since we manage all these programs it's not like a regular hodge podge of programs you find in most directories. We have very high standards and don't manage programs unless they have great potential. We only accept 5 Star programs. These are all high paying consulting clients, it's not a free directory. Most pay 3-5K a month for our services, which includes being listed on 5 Star. I turn down 90% of the companies that want me to promote them.

2) "It's showmanship style makes it seem unprofessional." Wow, I've never gotten any negative feedback before. I surveyed a bunch of affiliates on the design before I bought it and they all liked it. Maybe it's time for a redesign???

What does everyone else thinK?

 

Yikes, you too???

E gads. I think it's one of those things where since it's your site you don't see it as others do.

Please rip it apart and tell me what's wrong so I can re-design it. I honestly had no idea and still don't know what the turn off is.

The colors? the swirls? the 5 Star? the dollar signs? the copy? or what?

What would you do differently? Please tell me. I have big clients like National Geographic and several other big corp clients coming on board. If the site is a turn off I need to change it.

TIA for any feeback!

 

Rov, Sorry I missed your question: "What does "parasite free" mean."

Parasites are dishonest affiliates than can over-write the affiliate cookie of the affiliate that deserves the commission. We dont allow this type of affiliate into our programs.

Shawn,

Thanks so much for the detail and explaining in-depth. I'm a marketer so maybe sounds like am over hyping cuz I'm passionate about our programs and trying to get across how truly good our programs are compared to all the dishonest ones that say "No work, put up a link and make a million dollars." Funny just had 2 people on 2 other forums say they love the site. But I hear what you are saying. When I have time to breath will see what I can do about finding a middle ground.

FYI to many affiliates the fact that PartnerCentric manages most of our programs DOES matter - a lot. Many programs are not pro-actively managed and you can't get any support. PC, my partner company, is well known for excellent support and well managed programs - this is one of the most important things to some affiliates. Some of them join every PC program because of our reputation. PartnerCentric used to be Affiliate Goddess. You may not have heard the name before but many have and respect it.

 

I haven't checked his link yet, wondering if he's implemented the suggestions from this forum...

 

The two things which most cause my brain to stop observing an incoming information flow are dollar signs and exclamation points.

 

Shawn,

You're a coder right??? That probably explains it!

Still I appreciate the feedback and will consider it when I have time to do some tweaking.

 

Shawn and all,

Made several changes. Got rid of some of the stars at the top and the big 5 star logo and cleaned up the footer quite a bit. It's a start at least.

Thanks again for the feedback.

 

i agree with whats been said above, i saw your link on another forum and am heavily into affiliate programs but was instantly turned off by 5 star. The most alarming thing for me was that it simply looked like you were out to get money. perhaps the colours the bright blue and yellow, the lists of things that tried to tell me how much money i would make, the constant reminder that you were providing only the best and highest paying affiliates. hhmm, i dont know, i think it just looks like youre trying to hard to sell your program. it screams desperation and like the suggestion before, perhaps just tone it down a little to reflect your success..you dont need anything flash, youre already a success!

dont try and fool us, just be honest about your service and you will be fine, less the marketing hype, give examples of real results, dont buff any program up (nor your own) and you will be better for it.

imo.

Thanks Rushy,

"dont try and fool us, just be honest about your service and you will be fine, less the marketing hype, give examples of real results, dont buff any program up."

Ok no I think I see the crux of the matter. "If it looks too good to be true, it usually is."

Wow I feel hurt and a little stupid. Everything I say on my site is 100% true. Every number is true and it all comes from my heart. Meaning that where I come from when I write this copy is a place of "we have programs that are truly good, honest and most are very high paying." I come from a place of wanting to help affiliates find good programs because there are a lot out there that aren't.

We turn down 90% of the programs that come to us and only carry ones that meet our standards. So there really are top programs.

I think there may be a couple of issue I need to look at though. I guess my sincerity and trying too hard to help people see how great these programs are looks like hype. Plus I know that we are up against LOTS of truly hype ads, copy and programs that are pure bulls*t, that say "just put up this ebook link and do nothing and you can make 1000 a day."

So would you look at these programs and the site if I took all the numbers off? How would you know how good they really were?

As far as the colors, I never tried to be flashy and didn't know the colors would turn people off. Teal is my favorite color. I ran the header design by a LOT of my existing affiliates (who can be VERY critical) and they all liked it.

I feel totally depressed. Kind of like when you say something to a friend that you thought was really helpful and supportive and they take it wrong, twist your words and make you out to be a horrible person. You have to wonder was it the way I really said it - or the way they interpreted it?

Well I did try to tone down the design somewhat. I guess I need to look at the copy. I didn't know it sounded like hype.

Thanks for the feedback

 

Thanks so much Summer,


I did just mellow it out some more. Took away the multicolored gold & teal head lines off of each program and dropped all the join here's and all the Partnercentric links. Added some dividers. Deleted most of the !!! Exclamation points. I think it looks a little cleaner now.

Thanks again for all the great feedback.
