    Question What factors matter most in selecting affiliate programs

    There are many dozens if not hundreds of online gaming affiliate programs, some good, some bad. I thought it would be interesting to find out what factors members view as being most important when choosing the programs they work with.

    First I ask GPWA members for some feedback about an affiliate program where I want to register, then I review the information about the affiliate program in the Internet, I read forums, press releases, and find a lot of good or bad facts about the affiliate program.

    Second I read its terms and conditions, comission structure, current promotions, review its casinos, poker rooms.

    And of course, the main factor is my friend's and respected webmaters'(like GPWA private members) recomendations.

    If it's ok, I sign up and promote them, but if during the first 3 months I see something wrong in my stats I remove them.

    I like responsive programs. Will they talk to me, answer quickly, provide promotions, solve problems. Will they call me on the phone? I'm a woman. I like the phone!

    I like to be paid on time. I hate to ask for my money. Wagerprofits rules, eh?

    I like programs with good retention practices. Frequent offers to active players. I watch our own email LOL.

    I don't like to see player issues - but when I do it says a lot if they are solved very quickly. I read complaint forums alot.

    this is a very interesting poll, but is there a limit to how many we can select? i look for all of the above qualities in an affiliate program so i would pick every one of them if possible

    I honestly check out affiliate programs here at GPWA first. There is nothing like reading about how affiliates are communicating sucessfully (or not) with Affiliate Reps.

    I just signed up to represent an Affiliate program today that has a forum here. That tells me their program cares enough to become a member of the GPWA interactive family.

    Communication is the key - their presence here at this forum is certainly a huge step in that direction.
