    Hi
    Hope I can get some feedback on how to deal with this situation. I am new to affiliate marketing, my blog has been up for about a year. In my niche all the affiliates have customer service 1-800 #'s posted at the top of every page for customers (who I directed to them) to call with questions. I send about 200+ prospect a month to them, and in last 6 months only one sale. I tried talking to their affiliate managers but only was able to contact one who said if someone called in with their order they try to find out where the lead came from but I don't think any of them are. Other then finding a new niche is there any effective was to ensure I get credit for sales?

    Why bother. I would drop them and find someone else. Finding a good and honorable affiliate is like trying to find a good mechanic for your car.

    It is not a good affiliate program. You should find a new affiliate program. 800 number is not a problem.
