Dear Affiliate Youve Been Deleted

[gonzo]

How many of you have gotten an email like this before from a program?

Do you feel guilty and beg them to keep your account open?

Program owners can you tell me the wisdom in this?
You spend all of this money to acquire a webmaster and you want to do database administration periodically?

Honestly I think youd do better with a email saying that you see here is a problem promoting the program and asking what you can do to get the webmaster to send some traffic.

Special promo material?
Different banner sizes?

I think many have lost sight of what we are doing and all caught up in Free Hosted Galleries and worthless RSS feeds.

Anybody else got a comment?

For me no wisdom in this. I agree, the program owners should interact with affiliate webmasters and learn the needs and shouldn't delete some because they sends no traffic. In frauds it's a must though

Do owners make webmasters lazy offering them FHGs, FHSs, RSS feeds and such easy material so traffic can be generated without a hassle in minutes. Nowadays webmasters are less interested in free content or banners in my opinion.

I agree with everything you said including less interested in doing any work.

However if you have someone promoting you that asks for something specific chances are its worth the time to give them an odd sized banner.

I'd keep em in the databse and find a way to get them to send traffic again myself....

Once. I spent about a grand building sites around this sponsor and having programming done and sales were just so-so.

They emailed to tell me my sales weren't up to snuff and asked how I promoted them. I sent them links and they never did get back to me with suggestions, just a "you've been terminated".

I told them I would talk to my attorney since by cutting me off, they were stealing the $100 a week I was making in webmaster referrals. They ignored me, so all the documentation is in the hands of my attorney.

Programs stealing content.
Programs stealing traffic.
Programs stealing.

And then on the other hand I know of several programs looking for a quick sale over the past several months.

I guess screwing the webmaster and the surfer doesnt pay off as well as it used to.

This sounds like a good story, how long ago was this "once"? Cuz it doesn't sound that old since documentation is still active.
and I"ll just take a wild guess, and say you will not offer the sponsor?
