I just want to shake them and say WTF don't you realize that you need us (affiliates) just as much as we need you?
I'd rather send my traffic to a small CCBill sponsor who I know needs me and will appreciate the 10 - 20 signups a month I might send them rather than some large program which will treat me like shit because I'm not running some tube which steals everyone elses' videos and has a ctr of .5% with a conversion ratio of 1:15,000 to send 3 signups a day. But many don't make it very easy for me. This is one of the most frustrating things about the business as an affiliate going into 2012.

This is true.... I asked ccbill everything while setting up my account, which many do not. They explained to me about the cookies & the split fees. This way, I have done it right for our sponsors. Highest days of cookies, we pay ccbill fees and not the affiliate. We do not have leaks from our tours, galleries & members areas. The affiliate (the sales man) is as important as the editor, the hosting, the billing, the model, the content, the program owner... All needing each other to survive... Most important, the surfer (the traffic, the customer) The customer needs to be looked after with all respect, without the customer, we do not survive.
The most important thing in business is respect & communication. With these, people get what they want, they get paid & they can have the right tools for the right job
