    But on the other side - What about if you are getting the click through but it's not converting? Surely it's job done from the website owner? Afterall, it's clearly an issue with the product and service!

    I must admit i've got the the stage when i won't deal with affiliate programs - In fact, i even send away ''fixed priced'' advertising, and i ignore 95% of requests. And, while that doesn't come over has good business, i believe you have to choose who you will and won't work with!

    After all the affiliate business is driven by ROI from both sides isn't it ?

    I am just curious as for the most part the programs i have worked with in the past just do not do it and tend to rather negotiate others ways of getting a deal done Like CPA and Hybrid and Better Rev Share % etc.

    Not all programs abide by the principles of Screw the affiliate by applying {5%, shaving, deducting insane costs,} there are plenty good ones still left.

    If no promise is made by the affiliate regarding ROI on flat fees then do you put some sort of make good in your deal . i.e if you dont get x amount of players or x amount of clicks over 3 months then we will keep you listed until you do in the same places we sold off in the first place or do these just get sold off to the highest bidder after the time frame have been reached?

    Again i am not in anyway saying its not a good option and if its part of your business model and it works great i m just curious and wanting to know the thoughts of the people asking for this.

    Hilarious!! - If it's an Israeli brand i wouldn't even discuss with them until they had sent me a gesture of goodwill!! - It's always the same patter, and not worth the effort!!

    On that note, i see WilliamHill are using locals in Germany although with an English name. Mind you, names don't mean a lot because nearly everyone in India has a second English name! - i always ask them for a link to their linkedin profile and never hear from them again!

    The many reasons that justify this model have been mentioned here Miles. But of course, it has to be a win win for both sides - and that was why I posted this topic, to gauge input from both sides as to how it would or wouldn't work.

    So for you it sounds like it wouldn't make sense, and I bet that holds true for most of the smaller less saturated brands. But there are plenty of companies out there who are willing to spend the money (for various reasons). Especially the big sportsbooks - it's these guys who tend to make the offers.

    I can also see the value for a brand new site where affs aren't willing to take the risk on an unknown and where sign up rates may be higher than normal for the brand.

    For saturated brands it's interesting, but also for newer brands it could be interesting. If they convert and keep their players playing, it's worth the investment perhaps. Also being on some serious affiliate websites, attracts more new affiliates. Some of the serious websites promoting a certain brands, says way more to me than some standard e-mail approaches by their affiliate managers.

    Yeah exactly. Some AM's even use it as part of their sales pitch - "as you can see we're already listed on sites such as....".
