What Affiliates Hate Most About Merchants Discussion

[SpaceBOT]

I started this thread to see what Affiliates Hate Most About Merchants. Please post what you hate about merchants running affiliate programs.

This thread is NOT

• About which particular merchant you hate

This thread IS

• About the techniques or terms or rules that merchants have that you hate about.

Examples:

• I hate merchants that have cookie periods less than 30 days. (elaborate)
• I hate merchants that does not allow PPC advertising
• I hate merchants that does not allow my to compete in PPC advertising or use their trademarks...

But elaborate your reasons and why it's not good practice...

Yogi, you misunderstood my thread. I am putting those out as examples... they are not what i think.. this thread is to find out what ppl hate about merchants so that merchants can fine tune their programs appropriately and learn more about affiliate marketing.

My affiliate program was designed to accommodate affiliates like yourself.

1) i would rather have my affiliates bidding on my name then competitors
2) I pay renewal commissions ( one of the most important things when promoting a program)
3) PPC is one of the best ways to convert visitors into a sale, i encourage my affiliates to advertise this way. I could care less if i was out bidded.
