    Hi Guys,

    Need some advice from you expert 'affiliate program users'.

    Ok ... my idea is offer the following

    - free url
    - free hosting
    - programming support (php)
    - product database (hosted on my server - api available to pull search results back)
    - Possible free web site templates for you to use.

    What i would like in return is for you guys to take a site on at no cost (see the points above) ... market it in which ever way you are happy with, you to do the seo and drive traffic, you to add your content for seo reasons and generally promote the web site and drive as much traffic to it as possible.

    Once the traffic was coming in i would pay for
    - Telephone enquiries (poss = $2.00 per call)
    - Email enquiries (poss = $1.00)
    - Click through to click web site from yours like ppc (poss = $0.50 per click)

    I would NOT be able to pay for taffic or volumes of traffic ...
    I would only be interested in real enquiries.
    The enquires (email + click through) would have to be from agreed countrys to stop spam and fraud.

    Can you give me you thoughts on a proposal like this? This is just a idea so i have not gone in to it in great detail but im interested to know how it compares to other affilate networks and if you think this would interest anyone?

    Please ask away with questions but as i said its really a basic idea at the moment ... maybe the response to this post will tell me if it would work or not ...

    Thanks

    Ummm, it may work for the people that do not already have a site. There are sites on the web that already do this sort of stuff, so I guess it does work. The thing that you have to watch for is the duplicate content penalty. All the sites will have the same to similar content as your site I would imagin.

    thanks .... what about the prices i quoted?
    How do people feel about not being paid for traffic but only for sales leads?
