    Will they accept only Adwords type traffic only? I have a traffic system that has about 15% signup ratio. Will they accept this?

    Thanks

    Stats of this Thread : #62 posts , 59 newbie , 2 higher than 100posts and one higher than 500 posts :)

    i saw affiliate junktion last month and signed for free , when i saw that confirmation email from them asking to pay for the hosting , i just hanged up and made a research on it , so far i saw 60% of the people unhappy and 40% of them are happy and got thier comm.......... but let me tell you that i have never seen in this 40% of people who got paid showing the image of the paypal transaction in any site or forum...so there is something wrong , i think its either the people of affiliate junktion itself signed up and battling the people who are going againest them....so beware of this site friends ..until someone really comeup with some proof.

    All you guys here shouting that you got paid , please post the screenshots.. i hope you will never post :)

    Good stats Drreynolds.

    The whole thing is a hosting pyramid scam. Commission for getting others to sign up under you who then have to pay for hosting ONLY from iPower. Spend your time developing something with some staying power and is less gimmicky. It will pay off in the end.

    Buyer Beware

    Yes, it's a scam. I've just done some research and published my findings in an edition of Aardvark Daily.

    The guy behind AffiliateJunktion appears to be the same guy who also ran Affiliate-Inc and he's hiding behind false identities.

    If his own figures are to believed, he's raking in over a million bucks a month out of this and all that money is actually coming from affiliates when they sign up for a website. It's a pyramid scheme plain and simple, probably illegal in many countries.

    Go to aardvark.co.nz for the full story (April 4 edition, look on the archive bar to the right if it's no longer the "current" edition) I can't post the URL here because this is my first post.

    Well, for me things are going well. I am on day 38 of 45 that I have to wait for before I qualify for my initial payment, the current "Pending" amount is: $641

    I spent about USD 300 on advertising, but I cut that down a lot and increased my profits during the last couple of weeks. You see, I never tried this internet marketing thing before, so I made many mistakes. I think that if everything continues smoothly I should make $4000 profit during the next 30 day period. How long this can be sustained for I have no idea yet, but I am sure that I will learn how to expand my market reach over time.

    I, like everyone and their dog have a blog detailing our progress, and sharing our learnings. Here is the obligatory blog link:

    http://blog.onlineizoo.com

    And of course the all important our affiliate link which you are wholeheartedly invited to click on! It will bring you instant untold wealth and it will grant you any three wishes (Disclaimer: your results may vary :) ) :

    Cheers,

    PS: I do not qualify for actual link insertion yet as I lack the prerequisite number of posts thus use that tricky copy and paste to follow the links...let me see... time to go bash the competitor programs. That seems to be popular :D

    Oh, oh, nice! Except that he does not get paid by affiliates, the hosting provider does. Are you saying that they are in this together and that the hosting provider is ripping themselves off and passing on the hosting fees to Affiliate Junktion! Scandalous!

    Besides, that article on aardvark.co.nz is stupid. There is nothing illegal in what they describe, and they are overstating the earnings. Affilaite Junktion gets paid commission from the hosting provider only IF the "victim" (idiot attention seeking trash journalist language) signs up to the hosting program. My belief is that at least 80% will not. Thus, Affiliate Junktion has to cover the commission out of the 20% of people that do take up the full package.

    How do you and that braniac from aardwark.co.nz (one and the same perhaps?) think that capitalism operates? Share and share alike? Its a given that companies are out there to make a profit....:confused:

    Cheers,

    And who pays the hosting provider???? The affiliates of course.

    So the affiliates are paying for this whole thing -- there is no external product being sold as with the likes of Amazon.com's affiliate scheme.

    Every time someone signs up to AJ, the become competition to all the other AJ affiliates. In effect, your site is creating competitors to yourself.

    And think about it like this...

    AJ signs up 100 affiliates.

    Those 100 affiliates sign up 100 affiliates each (that's another 10,000)

    Those affiliates sign up 100 affiliates each (that's now 1 million)

    If those affiliates sign up 100 then you've the 100 million mark in just four levels.

    Now, there aren't enough people on the face of the planet to support another level since that would require 10 billion sign-ups.

    And what are you getting when you become part of AJ? Nothing but the right to sign up other affiliates who become direct competition to yourself.

    The only winners here are AJ and iPower.

    Unlike bonafide affiliate schemes such as Amazon, etc where the sale of products to non-affiliates ensures an ongoing cashflow, AJ relies solely on the recruitment of new affiliates to fund its operations.

    That makes it a ponzi scheme.

    Ask yourself...

    If AJ was legit, why would the man behind it feel the need to hide behind a false name? Why did his earlier affiliate schemes (using a different fake name and an almost identical model) fail?

    And if AJ was earning the kind of money they claim ($1m+ per month) then surely they could afford a decent server (that didn't constantly need upgrading), full-time phone/email support, and the technical support staff to ensure 24/7 uptime.

    Why are payments delayed? Why are many people being told to expect a check instead of a direct deposit into their Paypal accounts?

    What are people outside NZ going to do with a check drawn on an NZ bank? If they deposit it they'll have to wait another 6-8 weeks for it to be cleared and the funds to become available -- assuming that it's actually honored.

    What's more, if the hosting provided by iPower was worth the money paid for it there wouldn't be any "Quota Exceeded" messages appearing.

    The hosting company I use for many of my sites charges me $4.95/mo including my own domain name and a couple of my sites do almost 30GB a month in traffic -- without any "quota exceeded" messages.

    If the only source of money for an affiliate site is the affiliates themselves then it's doomed to failure.

    So are you saying that Affiliate Junktion owns iPower?

    Except that there are no levels. The only limits are:

    1. iPower's capability to handle the extra customers by growing their capacity
    2. Market size - you got that right, but its no great secret. Every business is limited by the size of its market.

    Well that is up to you. What you do with your traffic and how you mange your own customers is entirely your choice.

    So they are not one and the same then?

    What? Everyone can become an Amazon affiliate. In effect they and all other companies are doing the same thing. According to your thinking, everyone offering affiliate programs is a crook since everyone will eventually be someone's affiliate. And no, AJ is funding it from the canned setup guide for beginners as well as from iPower.

    Here is a quote for you from Wikipedia. You are getting all tied up in a terminology and sensationalizm frenzy:

    "A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that involves paying abnormally high returns ("profits") to investors out of the money paid in by subsequent investors, rather than from net revenues generated by any real business. It is named after Charles Ponzi.[1]"

    AJ does not do that.

    The rest of what you wrote is more of the same flawed nonsense.

    Cheers,

    Its even easier to declare yourself an owner of Aardvarkdaily and perhaps even name yourself like you did on your website, instead of milk for credibility by inference and obfuscation.

    I clearly stated in my posting that I wrote the article -- where's the obfuscation and inference?

    Hey, give me more content to reply to. I am trying to bump up my post count here!

    I'd like to be able to direct link to my awesome sites...and in 4-5 days (if PayPal option becomes available again), post a link to a screenshot of the payment.

    At the moment I only have a screenshot of the AJ internal auditing screen (PAP)
    on my site and blog.


    Cheers,

    If Affiliate junktion is not a scam, then why do they hide themselves? Why can't they reply? When you call their phone, there's no one answering it. Affiliate Junktion is a SCAM!!!:mad:

    There is a phone number? Where did you find it, I'll try to call them myself as I want my payment made by PayPal instead of cheque.

    As to replying, not sure what you mean. I had several email exchanges with AJ. The only time my question ended up in a black hole is when I tried their new customer support service. That thing does not work.

    Good luck getting any response. You'd think that an organization turning over tens of millions of dollars a year could at least afford someone to answer the phone. By the way, it's a mobile number -- probably a pre-pay phone that's hard to trace.

    I see, the "Contact Us" page for affiliates looks different. I do agree that they would be overstating their current income. I believe they are only forecasting "tens of millions of dollars" income per year, but I cannot see it happening for them just off the back of iPower and the trickle from the startup process. I do believe that it would not be too difficult for them to diversify once the iPower way runs its course. Importantly I believe they are making enough to pay my commission :D

    5 more days to go for my first payment 45 day qualifying period...
