Hey Guys, i have been watching closely this section of DP & i have found that 80% of trusted members here are complaining about The Big Fishes, Payment Delays, Scrubbing, Scamming, Poorest Support etc. this is something making me annoyed that why these networks are behaving worst with Affiliates like us just b/c we have given this Industry a Lot of Time/Effort/Money ? I think this is the time, we should have to speak up for Our Rights, Why we are being scammed, why our payments are being Eaten by networks ! I know this might sounds crazy but we should make a consortium exclusive for Affiliates, where we can Stand Up with some Proof, and the Networks will have to Reply to a Legal Body (made by Affiliates). There is no way other we can survive, If any network is found in such Scam Activity, All the members of that Body will STOP doing Business with that Specific Network or further action will be taken ! Hows that Idea, how many of you are ready to take this Step ?
I agree - affiliates are definitely at the bottom of the process. If you are a big affiliate they will bend over for you, but for new people it is not the case.
They became too big for their own good in my opinion, seems like they are going after the big affiliates so they can make the biggest amount of revenue instead of treating every affiliate equally in my opinion.
That is why our network is active in the forums. It holds our feet to the fire, which is great. The biggest downfall of most networks is when they get too big, they stop listening to all of the people who helped get them there. Being trapped in your own head is the worst thing for your own business, so I think it personally benefits us when people rough us up in the forums. You guys let our employees know their faults as well as us, the owners. The compliments are also constructive as well as it lets us know where we are doing good. I am surprised more networks do not take advantage of this. I think they are too scared of public confrontation rather than welcoming it as an open assessment. Why hire a consulting firm? Listen to your clients, the members in the forums - the community. You guys know best as to what you want. As far as unionizing in the forums, I think that is important. But I would also stress that networks should be in here standing up for themselves, otherwise the community could be mislead with a one-sided story and miss out on a great network.
I Believe it is Unique Cases, Where It Can Happen from? 1- The Publisher themselves 2- The Affiliate System 3- Someone meant to harm the Publisher ads by doing what Is Against Affiliate Ploicy, by double lead or double signup from same ip,...etc. But I Believe that is Normal, it is just supposed to be Handled in A Better Way. But even Jesus ( PBUH ) has ppl who complain about him, even Mohamed ( PBUH ). So i believe it is the Truth of This business
Very Correct Bro. The 1st Issue That Big Company such ,,,,.etc They do not even reply them publisher by mail. But from my Own experiences, Been among your employer Give them great support and great encourage to do more and more. and i believe a lot of Good Affiliate start Noticing That and they start Playing it right Perfect example your self to reply cpalead publisher and my self to reply adjal publisher BTW This is not just in affiliate, it is almost everything around us I know countries is Misleading because the President do not even know what is going on, so it is in everything. But like you said, Too Much Money Maybe lol
get over to the Point, every industry do possess some Association or Body, which has members, Elected Candidates / Some Out Spoken people who raise voice for the Rights of their fellows, why can't we implement this SCENARIO in Affiliate Marketing, this industry is Multimillion $ Industry and growing exponentially, but it is on the Fact that Giant Affiliates themselves get scammed. Why we are living on the Edge although we can adopt a Safe Path of Earning ?
why we are digging the Problems, We should Dig the Solutions of this Million $ Loss/ Scam happening with many affiliates around -
CPALeadTroy proposed an association to help fight this problem here. Holding Networks Accountable Association (HNAA)
Yes, we must fight together... And we need a voice that is to be spoken clearly and loudly within the industry!! This is why I too think this association would be a great thing. And you always need to do your research first but still that cannot always guarantee your safe!
