This is for our Ad Network that we build. Please vote on this poll, thanks. 1. i'm an affiliate and i like to manage my merchants per a site i own. (each site has his own approval) 2. i'm an affiliate and i like merchants to auto approve my application for all of my sites. 3. i'm a merchant and i like to approve publisher's sites individually. 4. i'm a merchant and i like to auto approve all of publisher's sites in a bulk. 5. i'm a merchant / affiliate and i would like to auto select all of my sites for an application but a merchant can allow only none / few / all of them (default is approve all), - in such case the relationship will be per a site. If you think otherwise, please post. this is for our network that we build. please vote, thanks again. if we can pay each voter $0.20 cents we would have done that! but paypal will cut you with their fees..
I am a Merchant, and we are keeping everything in-house. We are doing the approvals, provide stat/sales tracking systems, provide banner and text link options, and 100% email + phone support. Are you planning on having an affiliate network where Merchants can list their program? I am always looking for a few good affiliates, and places to tell everyone about my $100 per sale affiliate program!
Yes, that's what we plan. doesn't the approval of each *site* of the publisher makes you much more work hours? i mean wouldn't you want to allow all of his sites to run your program? Only if he has incentive sites maybe you would like to check them manually i guess or totally diss allow them.
The approval process is simply verifying that the site isn't completely bogus, does not involve porn, or other types of sites that we do not want to be associated with. That is the basic approval that we do. If a person has 20 sites, great! We simply view each one to again, make sure they fall under the at MOST PG-13 category Nothing against these types of sites, but we want to maintain a wholesome, fun feeling for our program.
But in an ad network you have thousands of thousands of affiliates already there, you just wait till they apply to your program, in such case you don't need only to approve each application (as a publisher) but also each future website the publisher adds. isn't that too much work?
Well, I get paid a salary to do exactly that. When an affiliate signs up for our program, my job is to approve them, and make sure they have what they need to get started. Literally, I wait for affiliates to signup. I get paid either way. Most affiliate programs dont have a company with 100+ employees in the home office, and a guys whos job is soley to approve affiliate sites
