    Hi All

    I would like to see a new category in this forum where we can list / name and shame affiliates that don't pay!!

    I have been burnt a few times in the past and now only use affiliate houses such as TD, CJ, AW, & AF.

    This also saves a lot of time and effort in the long run as we can see all our commission in a glance

    I think naming and shaming bad payrs may stop inexperienced marketers signing up to dodgy sites and those who are just slow to pay become a little more motivated

    Harsh but fair me thinks

    Aye, I too would like this Alan, having also been burnt a few times. It would be handy to know which companies appear to do the rounds of gaining free advertising from hard working affiliates and do not bother to pay or answer e-mails, or say they've lost your invoice or that the cheque is in the post.
    Sometimes private schemes work really well and new ones are worth trying - but it would be good to see how others fair with these before commencing a relationship.

    If getting paid concerns you stick to networks who either promise to cover payments or those who publish stats on how well merchants convert ...

    Hi

    I'd rather see a "name and shame" area of the forum than affiliates avoiding smaller private programs like mine.

    Cheers

    i can see both sides here... name and shame... or just go with networks.

    i am a merchant with shareasale, and found them to be very good.
    at the same time not expensive. if you keep your account on auto deposit
    [which we do] then it gives the affiliates the confidence to sign up for your program.
    i know some of the indies are genuine, but you will always find the ones that are not.

    i would recommend that if you are an affiliate being ripped off.
    then go with the networks,,,, but !!!!.... make sure it is a good network..
    not one that deals with parasites and the like..

    if you are a small merchant go with a not so expensive network
    like shareasale or others,,
