http://partners.v7n.com/ This is a new affiliate program for the V7N Directory. Currently paying $50 per referral that results in a paid submission, with $100 min payout. Looking for feedback, as this is our first go with an affiliate program.
Hi John, the payout sounds good, I think. However after just a quick scan I couldn't easily find info about a paid listing and how much it costs, so I wonder how good the conversion would be. If the 50 is a very high percentage of the ad fee it would help to list the percentage too. I would make it easier for people to see they can do a paid listing. Maybe an advertise link. Again, maybe it's there, but I couldn't see it so it must not stand out. You should maybe give affiliates a landing page to send their traffic too that does not include all the links to other places, but only talks about the value of a paid listing, to help encourage conversions. What tracking software are you using and how long are your cookies? Add an affiliate landing page that has all the info spelled out. Hope this helps and best of luck!
I posted about this in the Directorys section, looks good. I signed up. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=116868
I'm obviously new to running an affiliate program. The Submission fee is $79.95, and we are currently running a two-for-one special. That special will be going on for a full month. The main selling point I would hope would be traffic. I can post some screenshots later, but I can say it gets some serious search traffic. We have put the search box on literally tens of thousands of pages, on various sites. It also has good PR distribution, for those people that care about such things. The affiliate script is Ultimate Affiliate, the best script I know of. It seems to be working very nice, as it's already tracked afiliate sales. If somebody signs up and logs in, they will see several pre-made creatives, along with the code to copy and paste to their web pages. Like I said, I'm a total newbie at affiliate programs, so suggestions are welcome.
