    Approving Affiliates - BMPs

    Most applicants don't have phone numbers included in their info. So I've drafted an email that I would send to questionable sites. Is this the type of message you would send? Are there other direct questions you would ask? Hello, I am contacting you because your information was submitted...

    Approving Affiliates - BMPs

    So, as site that has a copywrite 2005/2006 that is a good site and no Alexa ranking is probably okay? How does a site get an Alexa ranking? or rather...How does Alexa determine what sites to rank? - Sarah

    "We use DirectTrack for our own program." We do not have an in-khouse fraud prevention system other than on the accounts payable side. They look for things regarding the order, credit card etc. but that's on the customer side - not the affiliate. I wasn't actyually here when the program...

    Is it okay to let affiliates change links or not?

    Teli, It makes sense to shorten the code - and that this isn't html....a big duh! on my part. But, wouldn't this work - even if I'm not working with Clickbank - couldn't I apply the same principle to say, CJ links? Forgive my coding ignorance....thanks for your experitse. -Sarah

    What about the issue of letting publishers change links to make sure that Google doesn't give them a lower quality score for posting duplicate content??? Is that something I should do?

    I know about it - on the surface - but not so much what to look for - I would say look for: pop-ups, text stating that they highjack commissions, other than that - I don't know...? :confused:

    Referral programs - what if the referred sites aren't quality?

    ... I understand the 5% rule - but I have been doing this review process - somewhat off and on, where I give an affiliate three months to show impressions or sales after they join. The first month I review their site and give specific suggestions on links to use - where to post them...

    Specific Metrics for Affiliate Managers? Linda - thanks very much for this post. The Fireclick site is just the thing I am looking for. I know that I need to track my affiliate program extensively and continuously - but I have never worked with metrics other than those provided in CJ. Our...

    Referral programs - what if the referred sites aren't quality?

    So, I am trying to figure out which affiliates should be given an additional 1% of commission to test out the theory that affiliates will perform for small incentives and see if I can increase sales. I am toying with the idea of offering this extra 1% in the form of a referral program to...
