I'd like to see a program that gave me the choice of a per-signup or 50/50, to let me send some traffic to both and see which works out better with my traffic over the long run. It'd also let me assure myself that conversions were the same on both types of programs.
I'd like to see free trials done away with, frankly -- either offer a two month non-recurring, or a one-month non-recurring at a slightly higher fee along with the usual recurring options, and a realistic price point (hey, I'd rather get 50% of a $20 - $30 sale than 50% of no sales at $40 or $50).
Re: Exit Traffic -- I'd far prefer to get it back, like FlashCash and a few others.

We have a mainstream program that is working very, very well in mailers. If you have an opt-in list you may want to devote 3 lines of text to it. Send me or 12clicks and email for details.

Would like to hear more on what resellers want and find important
Is having CCBill or Ibill as your payment processor good enough to satisfy the requirment of paying on time every time?
Vick Hey these are the SUPER BOWL Champions

Vick, as someone who does nothing but resell I can tell you my priorites are the following:
1) Check shows up on-time, every time.
2) Support is available in a timely fashion.
3) Wide variety of niches to promote.
4) Referral stats that show where the signups are coming from.
5) Has a proven track record.
Note that throwing big parties wasn't on the list. ;)
I tend to use the Nike balls, just do it you know.
Windsor show run down:
Friday night: Hostpitality suite in the Casino, very nice, busy, open bar lots of good conversations and networking going on.
Saturday: Mid morning brunch followed up by opening sponsor panel, good mix of questions from around the 100+ webmasters in attendance, some good discussions going around. This was followed up by the lawyer panel which I was unable to make it to because of previous engagements in the afternoon. Dinner was an excellent open buffet style with another good opportunity to network with all the attendees and sponsors. As dinner had a higher turnout perhaps have the sponsor panel before/after dinner next year, just an idea. There were numerous raffles afterwards, not sure what everyone else did on Saturday night as Jimmyslits, DDave, and I went to a local watering hole and just hung out after the crazy Friday evening outing.
All in all the convention was excellent and was a good opportunity to catch up with old friends and make some new ones too. To anyone considering the smaller shows don't hold off, GO as you'll definetly get more time to network with the sponsors than you would at any other party.
As resellers what would you like to see in affiliate programs?
Is partnership what you would most want to max your revenue generation?
Pay per click with ratios tied to performance?
How important is the link following your traffic on exit consoles?
What do you think about having a low cost or free trial as opposed to having a one month and two month option for billing?
(currently one of my paysites only has one month and two month options for billing with one month recurring and two month as a one time charge, many new members opt for the 2 month which would give resellers 2 months worth of income in one billing)
please be realistic in your expectations
remember the sponsor must earn a living also
Am looking at a few options to start an affiliate program this fall and would like input as to what resellers desire and find important

Ah what's going on around here Mike? I go away for the Windsor convention and I see that
1. You, Brad, and Evan have made amends.
2. There's a golf tournament on.
3. There's a charity dinner in Miami that we're sponsoring.
Okay enough catching up and time to thank those people for the Windsor show. SusieS and Circes as expected did a FANTASTIC job. The amount of hardwork put into an event of this size is quite often not appreciated enough but you have the full gratitude of myself and the entire ARS staff. Special thanks to the Dave and the whole Globabl Intermedia crew for the awesome hospitality.

ThrobX I can think of a few titles for you !!
Vick the only thing better then eating the shrimp is eating the french bread dipped in the juices !!
Brujah, yup, favorite b movies and forgotten classics. I figure everyone knows about the latest new release crap from Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson, etc. but few know of these hidden treasures in their local video store. Next week I'm going to go more in depth with Asian cinema and the week after that will provide an insite into Italian cinema (especially the works of guys like Argento, Fulci, Bava, etc.).
I'm just a lover of movies...especially ones with fake rubber monsters, screaming college coeds and whacky chopsocky adventures.... :) SykkBoyNew stuff every weekday

Red, I remember some people 3 or 4 years ago who I thought were pretty fricking dumb who look like geniuses now. Others, however, remain idiots for years on end. Which camp I am in is open to debate. ;)
Is there going to be a listing of who is going to be at the show exhibiting in Miami? Dinner sounds nice, wish I could go but I'll be on a plane back home.

On a site called SponsorReport Mike.
Not a bad idea for a site but they didn't think it through well enough.
They let anybody enter the # of unique hits they sent to various programs and the total amount of revenue from the clicks to get a per unique rate of return for that program. They don't have any way of checking if people are lying and they don't even attempt to classify what quality the traffic is. The data is meaningless.

Server problems recently by Cl1mber :
I agree with you, but lately they suffer of server problems quite often : stats not accessible,
signups not being counted, horrible ratios, ...
Still they're really good.

I am gonna goto my threrapist and discuss the possibilities of true miracles.
Miracles are often just coincidence and stuff or an exception to the odd's, but what I am reading here defies all logic.
Time to think.
Brad, Mike, Evan. Who would have thought! people call me schizophrenic...
Lee, its okay - one cannot win every battle. I beleive the court and jury must decide what is slanderous and libel... OF course your board was nothing but a potential lawsuit.
Also if you have no heard, Evan and I are buddy buddy now... he loves me. We have WORKED IT OUT!
Brad is getting in the act too! This thing is bigger then all of us!!
I am waiting for any minute for Evan to start posting over here... I hope Oprano becomes he new home!
After all this is the place REAL business gets done!
We better win that fishing tourney. I am not coming back without the $1,000,000. I may just be living there in Villa Grande, on your credit card of course;-) Brad ShawWorking it out!!

Sweet T - I can set you up a ncie weekend, I also have some great seats you can use. Hell I bet I can get Stan the Man to make sure you have a good time...
I will be in Cabo, WINNING a fishing tourny... Well I can hope!
Forest,
the heart attack was in May. I'm fine now baby, we can still fool around. My lover is 15 years younger than me, and I tire him out. I haven't had to grab the nitro during sex yet. :-)

Good morning Oprano.
CJ, that is a sad article. I met Amy at the AWE show in LA. She's a very sweet woman. And she's absolutely right. After I had my heart attack in May, I started thinking about all the things I've wanted to do in my life, but never had the time for. Working hard is great, but you also need enjoy what the hard work has brought you.

CJ, my father was a doctor and he always said that he "never knew anyone who on their death bed said: Damn, I wish I spent more time at the office." He always told me to enjoy each day and that's what I try to do... :-)
Sweet T, MikeAI, what are the rules for this golf outing? Are employees of NationalNet eligible to win? I really REALLY need a Hummer! heh heh
T - if you built in Ellijay, there IS a Piggle Wiggle "in town" :) However, there are a LOT more of those "deliverance" type folks! The guy that cleaned my carpet told me it would be wise for me to not let anyone know that I'm single AND I have a job - said there aren't many of us single, employed females in these parts ;)))
Sykk.. Are you going to be reviewing your fave b-movies? lol
I was reading the billy wildhack news.. UNREAL about the SchoolTeacher!
---
The opinion held that a teacher who has sex with a student cannot be charged with a crime if the student is at least 16 years old - the age of consent in Maryland - and if the sexual contact did not occur on school grounds, during a school day or during a school-sanctioned event.
The loophole prevented Frederick County authorities from prosecuting a 40-year-old high school teacher who was accused in October of having sex with her 16-year-old student.
webfather, can I make one more 'peace pipe' comment?! please?! then we can return to that other thing ... :-)
this is from avnonline's current issue... i thought it was a great article ...

I truly believe that at the end of your life here, whether you’re 37, 67, 85, or 102, you won’t be thinking about adult Websites, or how much money you made or your expensive cars or exquisite home (homes, to some of you). None of that will matter. It won’t matter to you or to those you leave behind. What will matter is how happy were you, how much did you love, how much did you give, and how much did you laugh.

wow it looks like everyone has been enjoying the weekend for once! the board is quiet! After a group of drunk teenagers trashed my house last night (my sister's 19th birthday) i'm finally able to sit at my computer in peace!
I have a question ... that 'kidsvotingkan' domain ... what was it? or is it? its obviously something controversial from the responses but I think I missed the 'why'.

Tony -
Vegas sounds great. I'm acutally supposed to head out there on Monday the 6th for a friend's wedding.
I'll head out on that Friday night 4 - 6th if you're gonna be there. We can have that sit down we need to have. ;)
We had a great show on friday, and I must say, I was a bit surprised that Mike and Evan were discussing playing golf together. That's fuckin' great. Soon we'll have Brad join that game. Hell, I'll join that round just so you all can poke fun at my expense, I ain't much of a golfer. But if I aim way left it will go straight.
I'll have that archive up soon if anyone wants to hear that show from friday.
JoeE, Serge handles advertising for Oprano. However, I know you guys have been having some issues - so just like you passed the batton on business with Brad to Rocki.
I extend the offer to work out some deals to get http://sexcheck.com a permant home here at Oprano.
Michael....consider it a DEAL! I have actually only been in the Superdome once....Indimnion! (sp?)
We will have to do the bananas foster while we are in NO...Bone's doesnt even have bananas on any item on the menu so it makes it tough....bananas are a KEY ingredient, yanno?? ;-)
Don't forget I have seen your Mothers house!!! I will trade any day of the week! LOL! Hell, I just want to live in your new Car Barn!!! (reckon you could make me a lean-too in the corner somewhere near the Suburban?)
Few more things - KB. I think you are right, I am glad Evan and I "WORKED IT OUT" I feel some much better about myself. No need to keep the bitter taste I left in Evan's mouth!
Tony I am down with that... I am not sure when the Falcons are playing in the Dome - but the ONLY way I will come to Atlanta is if you come to NO for the weekend of that game!!
That cabins looks sharp... and I know YOU know fine food. Going to have Bannas Foster? ;-)
http://www.lynnmorgan.com/cabin/ makes the link work better without the ) I would hardly say that is a cabin.... its better the my MOMS HOUSE and her porch JMM and I live on!
JoeE glad you finally stopped by. You know your posts won't be deleted unless the are drive by spam...
Infact I encourage you to spend time here - share your wisdom, your latest marketing angles, the works... HELL you can even spam your show and other things as long as you COTNRIBUTE...
I know you know about TEAM WORK - your a baller... so chip in...
ok. the test was successful. nobody can trace you ...... NOW SPILL THE FUCKIN BEANS ALREADY!!!

My mountain place will be finished by then (http://www.jakemorgan.com/cabin) and I will take you guys to Bone's on Sat Night and then to see the Falcons work on the Saints on Sunday!!! (and of course we will have to visit my buddies at the Gold Club)

You guys rock!!
We are looking for co-sponsors for the after dinner party. This idea worked very well at Montreal after the Awards banquet. We might even get Dokk down there to spin some tunes. You ready for a repeat MFold?
BE there or BE SQUARE hahaha - my age is showing...
