like the SFS scrpt but no mention of cost or where to purchase? wierd the fsrevolution is the king of scripts IMHO and need to decide if i'm going to pursue that one. myeasycripts: don't have any opinion shiftcode: includes monthly fees? pass rafs: need to review it more i gotta cough up either $250 for FS revolution or see if it kicks of and cough up $600 for the unlimited sites...
fsrevolution looks awesome but the free script may be a good way to start off until making money. I'm not a PHP guy though so that makes me a little nervous.
I would recommend that you do not trust free scripts. I have no affiliation with fsrevolution but I recommend that you spend the money on a script that will work for the long run. Either you are serious and buy a script, or don't bother. Here's a couple good affiliates that I've worked with in the past. Incentaclick (non aff link) Neverblueads (non aff link) Maxbounty (non aff link) Hydra (non aff link) is pretty good too, but they don't support postback urls Postback means that when a user completes the offer, their site contacts yours with the information. If you dont have access to a postback system, then you have to download the information in a .csv (comma seperated value) file and then upload it to your site every night.
I like FSRevolution, but I am a little biased..... I run a whole network of incentive sites (and by whole network, I mean 6 sites...)
Hydra no longer allows incentive traffic (along with Clickbooth and a few others) I have heard mixed reviews on Incentaclick... Neverblueads & Maxbounty are both pretty good for incentive sites. BUT, if you want some affiliates specifically geared towards incentive publishers, check out: LeadGains.com, RevenueUniverse.com & AdExhibit.com. They all support postbacks, and adexhibit has this nifty program that auto-enters all your offers! Incentive sites have to deal with a lot of fraud (which is the downside to them)
I would suggest you stay away from Instantdollarz. They are the slowest paying aff. program in the industry, Net 30! I own a Freebie network, with 12 sites in total and I used to make some good money with instantdollarz, both I have completely obanded them after they changed their payment terms. Sucks, cause they had some nice survey offers. Too bad, Thats why there are other networks to take your place.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I was looking on Azoogle, and they have some incentive friendly products, have you ever tried these? I would love to check out your incentive sites. Perhaps it would help you as well if you post a link or two/twelve... I wouldn't accuse you of spamming the thread, promise.
Maxbounty seems kind of sketchy to me, they keep sending emails about getting tougher on incentive traffic, and that your account can get banned if you dont send them the right type of traffic.. I've used Revenue Universe..they dont have a LOT of selection but the reps are nice. It's one of those affiliate networks that pretty much runs offers from other networks, but this way it can be easier to negotiate higher payouts, etc. The owner actually runs a couple freebie sites, I cant remember which ones. I'm starting up a new incentive site but I'm too lazy to enter all my offers, does AdExhibit offer to enter them via sql or ? I havent had any problems with Incentaclick, my rep is nice although new. She didn't know about postbacks until I asked, but hey..everyone is always learning Have you been paid by leadgains and adexhibit? I'll have to check them out..post your aff links and I'll sign up under you. Cheers
Any of you considering the jump into the incentive game might not realize this, but the incentive model is currently suffering tremendously because of fraud. The level of fraud is so high that there are many merchants who have stopped accepting incentive traffic or are currently thinking about stopping incentive traffic. This is bad news for the owners of incentive sites because as more and more merchants turn their back on incentive traffic, the selection of campaigns that can be offered to site members goes down. Less campaigns = less money for you, the incentive site owner. The only way to stop this trend is to reduce the amount of fraud being generated by members of incentive sites. As a network, I have two ways to achieve this. First, I can educate incentive affiliates and let them know about some best practices they can use to reduce fraud. Second, I can get tough with incentive affiliates who have been told they're generating high levels of fraud and who refuse to deal with it. Cleaning up the fraud in the incentive based industry will allow it to thrive for years to come. But doing this will take effort and partnership from everyone involved - affiliates, merchants and networks. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thanks for clearing that up..the emails I received from you guys scared me away from using your network for incentive sites. Anyway, well see what happens. Cheers
Steven is exactly right. Fraud is horrendous these days. I've held well over 50 accounts in the past month because of fraud (proxy use, false information, etc). And while catching them is nice since the scammers don't get paid, it is not good when the advertiser sees a ton of bad leads get through. Fraud PREVENTION is the key.
We will see what happens to affiliates, Who are using maxbounty network,They can lock affiliates 's account with suck any reasons. Hopely everything will be fine this month to all members are using MB network Sincerely
