Choosing affiliate program - 9/25/2006 12:49:32   
Being an affiliate program, it is our prime interest to know what affiliates really want when they join one or another.
Can you name what is most important for you? What is on first place? Commission rate? Payment schedule? Credibility of the program? Conversion rate? Promoted brand?
Best regards, Seopharmacy

Ease of use. I've joined one where I'm still waiting after 2 months for approval on a product. Seems that if the company doesn't check their applications for a certain period of time they auto expire. Nobody tells anyone so you sit there like an idiot wondering what's happening.

It's also a nightmare trying to find some of the products. They don't list them in the search by company or product name, it's by whatever the first product was the company put on and the rest seem to be sub products. Well great if you happen to know what the first one was.

For me:

Cookie duration, if under 90 days have a good one.

If repeat ales are made do I get the commission of repeat sales?

Indy or program?

Landing pages?

Product feeds (that are structured with us in mind)

Minimum payout amount?

Payments made (Monthly) and date it is paid???

PPC advertising, any stipulations?

Any "protected" keywords?

Length of programs "up time"?

WHo the AM is (It does make a difference)?

Also parasites, is your program infested with "affiliates" that use parasiteware?

These are just a few things that I look at.

Take care,

Brian
