See... "Yet another paysite which claims 1:300 conversions"? That's exactly what i mean with affiliates being clueless! Please send a mail to support@epoch and let my convertion-rates be confirmed by them... Really, i'm a bit tired of being implicit called a liar...

I do care about affiliates; never close accounts even if they send 1 visitor a day. Have cookies set at 30 days. I'm going to work with sliiing.com and going to do payments myself in the near future so i can drop minimum weekly payout to $12.50... etc... I even want to look at improving tracking. My bizz model is based on affiliates...

I would love to buy per clicks... On my bucketlist... "guarantee revenue to affiliates who send a certain volume?" Interested in that but not interested in shitty traffic everyone can buy for pennies... and then i'm going to pay for that shitty traffic? So they make profit by selling me shitty traffic that not converts and then scale that shit?
1:10000 is usually closer to the truth than 1:500 when a sponsor claims that these days. It's usually either lying or the sponsor is going by their stats which include all the type-ins. Affiliates deal with the shitty tracking and that is part of it. This industry hasn't been looking for ways to improve affiliate tracking in over a decade. In fact quite the opposite. They've been looking for ways to give the affiliate less.

The truth is if a program converts well affiliates will find it and stay with it. They will go full time promoting it if they can. When the money is no longer there they leave. Leave the sponsor, leave the industry, leave trying to sell using that model (the paysite). That's the bottom line.
