Let me share my points 1) A vendor should not use his affiliate link in follow up emails 2) Clickbank says that the cookie life is 60 days and the affiliate will credited if a sales happens during this period (if it is not re-written by another affiliate) Those vendors who use their affiliate links in their emails must be punished the same way clickbank punish affiliates who do cookie stuffing. thanks
This is absolutely ridiculous. EXE, take a step back and look at this.. Ebay and Amazon run affiliate programs. You send a visitor to either of them and the visitor creates an account, do you not think Amazon or Ebay are going to follow up with emails? Of course they are!!! Even the largest companies have lists.. You claim a vendor emailed out a hoplink. So don't promote them anymore. End of story.. As a metaphor to your initial post, the Titanic sank.. Does this means NEVER go in a boat again? NO. Just choose a safer bet next time.
I guess coming back to the OP original concern he does have a point. 1. I hate vendors trying to lead capture immediately once a visitor arrives. They should give the visitor a chance to buy and if the click the 'X' then sure use an exit pop. 2. Great vendors offer aff's multiple LP's, with or without pop-ups / optins etc 3. I always opt in on a product sales page first and experience the the customer sales cycle (includes checking the cookie)
for what it matters - they do it on CJ as well - try "Suite101" - same product type - lead based which could be more beneficial.
He must be getting that $xx,xxx per month from his manual submission to 500 social bookmarking sites service. Quite surprised he had some time to post this thread.
Hey guys- this is all really interesting - well at least entertaining. I have a question though- not trying to hijack the thread, it's an honest question. Just give me quick answer and go on back to whatever it is you're doing here. the question - what does it mean to sell a location tag?
The post count doesn't matter. I've seen people with 15,000 posts in this forums apparently begging for some pocket change.
Even though i really hate clickbank right now for disapproving my product...i still wouldnt blame them for my own mishaps in affiliate/vendor issues. Now...if a vendor was ripping off customers...that would be an issue for clickbank to deal with, but not affiliates. Why? because clickbank assumes that affiliates are smart...most affiliates are smart enough to stop promoting a product if a vendor is pulling such shit. But if a vendor is ripping customers off, that causes refunds rates to skyrocket and plus all the angry tickets being sent to their support center.....now that would be enough to get CB's attention to deal with the issue. As far as vendor/affiliate relations, Clickbank is leaving that end of the deal up to you my friend. They have to assume that you have enough sense to recognise a bad deal and slip away. Like i said, even though i agree that clickbank could do a few things different, like reveal a products "actual" performance instead of using Gravity which has a general definition that can mean 2 or 3 things....and other things like...idk...allow my fucking product!!! because they are currently allowing 6 other similar products which they told me "we no longer permit products like these which are similar to yours fuck you affiliate we're rich and hold the keys and your not so deal with it!!" ...they still put food on my table and pay for my BMW so i dont have much to complain about....besides what i just complained about. anyway, yeah.....so just deal with it. because clickbank practically owns 90% of the affiliate arena. period.
