    Advantages of Inhouse Affiliate Manager

    I'm surprised I beat all the OPM's to answering this post :-) I guess it depends on how important your online marketing/affiliate channel is to you. If you're a brick-and-mortar type merchant or your online business ins't a big revenue gainer for you, you'd have to weigh the benefits of...

    Your Intention With A Discussion Forum?

    Completely agree. Especially in a forum such as this, where everyone works in basically the same industry. We can all see through a post like that, and I think it does more damage than good because you lose the respect of your peers.

    Hi vagabond, Linda's absolutely right. Some merchants can be very selective. You can try applying for the programs you'd like to join, and if you do get declined, contact them and ask why. A lot of the time, if you talk with a merchant and explain to them exactly how you plan on...

    Product Opinion

    Maybe some of the affiliates here can help me out with this one: I'm just curious. Do you keep track of the consumer opinion of the products or offers you promote? If so, how large of a role does it play in how you promote it?

    How do affiliates find you? Established affiliates or new builds?

    Great thread. I found this section of the AffStat Report in the new FeedFront, and I found it really helpful. Personally, we attract a good number of publishers from some of the buzz that we generate as a company (new features, products, etc.), but the largest efforts are exactly what Kay...
