Yahoo! Affiliate Program

    Hi all,

    I signed up for Yahoo! affiliate program before few days and made 11 sales already but there are no commissions showing up. All sales under action say “Yahoo! Web Hosting Audit Pixel D“ and I see no commissions. What does „Yahoo! Web Hosting Audit Pixel D“ means? Will I get any commissions for it later on or no?

    Thanks

    No worries! Yahoo verifies leads it can take up to a week! to see the leads show up. That happened to me I knew I had sales 4 of them confirmed and it took almost 5 business days they all just showed up at 6:00am.

    Are you definitely sure? I mean those are not leads, but sales! Are you sure they verify them. And did it show „Yahoo! Web Hosting Audit Pixel D“ under action when this happened to you?

    Thanks

    When I asked yahoo, because when that happened the next day when I still didn't see them I emailed, response back said verifying leads/sales. They do that to all newbies. Make sure it is legit. Email them that is the best way, they do email back, at least for me they did.

    I am not sure BUT I think it will show up after 14 days...I read that when or after I signed up....

    I am not working with them anymore because I contacted them many times and never received any reply....try to contact them and see for yourself, I hate those programs that put their contact information there but never reply when you need, so I stopped promoting them;)

    I believe that these are different tracking points for Yahoo! (to see how many people reach a certain point). I'm a big affiliate w/Yahoo!, but for some reason never asked about it. If you have any concerns, email the affiliate manager listed for the account. The entire team is extremely helpful & friendly (and very responsive!), so they'll be able to answer any questions that you have.

    mmm
    The "Yahoo! Web Hosting Audit Pixel D“ action converts $0.00 USD
    check their program , you will find two actions for the web hosting commissions
    The first one is number 8 "Action: Yahoo! Web Hosting " .. and it's commission is $60.00 USD
    Thats what we all know
    However the second action is number 14 "Action: Yahoo! Web Hosting Audit Pixel D " and it's commission is $0.00 USD
    it would be better if you asked them about the nature of the second action

    Strange. I'll get in touch with my contact & ask about it; I'll post a response when I receive one.

    Tracking and Reporting

    1. When do I receive my commission?
    You will receive payment via Commission Junction on the 20th of each month for commissions made during the previous month. Back to top.

    2. How do I find out how many clicks and impressions are generated from each link?
    Sign in to your account and select Run Reports. Statistics and account activity are updated daily and running reports will tell you how effectively your links perform. Back to top.

    3. How do I know how many sales and commissions I have earned?
    To see how you have been performing in our program, view the statistics posted under your account at Commission Junction under Run Reports. You can also generate and customize transaction reports for a specific period of your choosing. Please note that there may be up to a 14-day delay before a subscription appears in your account and adjustments for chargebacks may be made up to 40 days after the sale. Back to top.

    Thanks!

    What I like about yahoo aff program is the 3 months subscription, people don't have to pay for 1 full year, you know...less money up front is easier to convert. How are your yahoo sales converting? Is it good? Are sales crediting fine, any delays? Problems so far? Please give me some review, if you don't mind.

    Take care...

    Ugh, don't copy/paste useless info from CJ's site.

    I have a really close relationship with the Yahoo! Affiliate Program, as I've been working with them for quite some time & drive a lot of volume - so I have some special privileges with them. I love that affiliate program - if you think you can market one of the products, you might as well give it a go.

    FYI, hosting is a very competitive niche with high fraud rates (usually not worth it) - might be best to avoid it, as well as all other hosting affiliate programs, unless you know you have a really high quality traffic source.

    Yes hosting is a competitive business but I like it, there are new people launching their business everyday and all of them will need a website, domain etc... it will never end and yahoo has the name you know.

    Apparently the Audit pixels are just something for Yahoo's internal tracking & will probably go away soon... nothing too interesting.
