Request to NATS sponsors

[jscott]

.... if you dont have the tools please dont list them in your ad tools area

i spent hours today with many sponsors who list promo tools, as if they have stuff, and going thru all the filters by the time get to the end, there is no content of that

would've saved time if just removed that from your ad tools area , please

thank you

You have a right to complain only as long as you have traffic to send.

Program owner spends hours trying accommodate some affiliate losers' request only to find out that he sends 30 hits per day.

This is a decent request that any affiliate webmaster would benefit by, no matter if sending 1 hit or 10,000 hits/day

[jscott]

... and by the way... why would i be requesting this if i had no traffic in the first place

In my experience you hardly ever hear from a webmaster who's worth something.
He just quietly works his magic.

It's always losers that can't even reach min payout who waste your time the most.
They always need virtually everything (as if it's going to do them any good )

[jscott]

Well luckily your experiences are not everyones

So back to the point.....

I totally see your point. A lot of times it's a miscommunication between the person who adds the ad tools and the person who updates the html. Usually an affiliate program is redesigned only a few times in it's lifetime and stuff gets left off or in your case left on. Especially since affiliates died off in the last 5 years, and the vast majority of the ones who sign up are fraudulent and less attention gets paid to the specifics and details.. But you're a good affiliate, I don't know why you wouldn't have a personal realtionship with the sponsor whereby you wouldn't even have to dig, it would be created specifically for you with a simple email. That being said I'm going to have my guys look over shit and remove things or if it's available but only on request I'll make sure it's stated. (Not that you're reffering to me) but it's a good call to action none the less.

Some other requests to NATS sponsors while we're at it!

- please don't disable the email on join, rebill, chargeback etc options for affiliates
- don't disable the subscription details page - that you can normally get to by clicking on a join/rebill/refund (this page has the subscription details such as the join time, country, transaction history, etc)
- don't disable the ability to break down by country

Or in short, don't cripple NATS and disable/hide things in it, some affiliates use a lot of its features. :-)

Good point and I agree and disagree. I agree that all listed tools/features within a tour should be quickly accessible to all partners. However, I disagree because quality partners should get a different experience and get things created specifically for them so that 'everyone' doesn't have the same thing. Catch 22, we all want to promise the same 'bells and whistles' to everyone. Mail me if our offerings are of interest, I'll ensure we get what you need.

op has a very good point and i totally agree with him, also bigfurry has an even better request, i find programs who turn these things off have something to hide, especially these join/rebill/refund and chargeback options

+1. OP also has some very valid points.

[jscott]

Thanks Jigster & babeterminal, yes I usually like to try help improving any setup, especially the affiliate/sponsor relationship. I've been on both ends so I know how a lot of that stuff works.

Duke, i wasn't talking about your program.... but reminds me to check if you do have the tools i'm looking for

BigFurry, some awesome requests there too, agreed!

Amateurcanada, and for anyone else that'd like to know....

1. i'm going into a program to get tools for my tube, so i click ad tools, content, hosted videos, add link code settings, and nothing comes up. Ok no hosted videos. Ughhh that sucks, but fine.

2. go back again... click ad tools, content, downloadable videos, (ok i'll host them myself), add link code settings... well fuck, no downloadable videos

3. ok close that sponsor, move to the next




i'd say majority have these options in their affiliate admin, and have zero promo content listed under them.

Hey everyone. My suggestion as I have spoken to both affiliates and program owners on this very subject is for affiliates to create a relationship with their AM or program owner. Generally if you create a dialogue and explain how some of these things are beneficial to you and to increasing your revenue volumes, I'm sure they would be open to it. Increasing revenue with very little effort seems like a win-win for all.

[jscott]

Hey John, ya you're right, but there are just sooooo many that do this, that's why in the heat of the moment posted here and hoped some sponsors would see this and consider it

How are you btw, hope all well man!

[Neighbor]

I get it jscott.

I'm doing well, thanks. NATS for Networks is a hit and we are plugging away and looking forward to some exciting new things next year with NATS. So things are rolling along here and there is alot of excitement in the office about the future.

[TheDynasty]

Right I run into the same problem quite often

[jscott]

Another request would to be , please clear your payments after sending. I have some sponsors showing that my payment is pending from 10 months ago, even though they've paid.

Looking forward always to the new NATS features John, you guys are doing an awesome job
