For the sake of argument Re-Read Post #20.
It was a conversation about affiliates and what do they cost a program?
In a bad economy you need them even more. They do not cost them nothing!

Your post #23
If a program controls 100% of the transaction after an affiliate gets them to the front door of the site. Is it not the programs responsibility to lead the viewer up to and process the sale. If the program screws that up then how did the affiliate have anything to do with that. Answer that!

As an affiliate how do I have anything to do with processing?
After they get to the program site how does them controlling the traffic change what the viewer is seeing and whethter they decide to sign up or not. Dam If someone takes you to a bar and you decide to go in. and the person that takes you there leaves and you spend the evening there. Must be because you liked the bar and you decided to stay. The guy that brought you there had nothing to do with that decision.

So this story you say about processing problems that you infer the affiliate has something to do with is off base. Because as an affiliate I have not one thing to do with processing or the sale after they enter the front door.

What part of my comments do you not get. It is simple I get them to the door and they finish the sale. The affiliate cost them nothing to get the viewer to the door.

And my comment about bad luck poor business practices. I am not as blunt as you are. What I wanted to say but reserved myself was that many program owners do not have a clue as how to handle their money. and when times are good and they are rolling in it these boards are full of all their extravagant spending. And when business slides these boards fill up with webmasters who cannot afford to pay their affiliates. Because the guy that is making them the sales is costing them to much money. That is bullshit on any business scale. They made a sale you would of had less money if they didn't. Do you not see the point in that?

In summary when programs are dripping in cash they want more affiliates to make more money. When they are broke they fuck the affiliates because they they say they cost them too much money. Well if they would manage their money then most every one would be getting through this down turn in the global economy a whole lot better..

If the people that let the processing of trillions of dollars or worthless mortgages. would not of done that then we would not be having this conversation affiliates would still be loved.

If I put a thumb of someones on my site and a viewer clicks it to that site my job is done. If they fuck it up from there too many times I will discontinue using that program. Two way street.

You should care that you irritated me. because your comment was uncalled for and irritating. Dam take a chill pill there was an interesting conversation started here till you walked in in a bad mood....

I don't know everything But most generally when I speak I know what I am talking about. Other wise I do not speak.

And the rest of the posts indicated by by rising post count is doing business with good people. And I rarely sell anything I buy.
