What's your worst affiliate task?

**ElaineGardiner** · 7 December 2015, 10:30 am

Hey guys,

As mentioned in other posts some of us AM's have side projects. Mines is a blog.

I was wondering - as webmasters, what's your 'worst' task that you have to do?

At the moment, mines is naming images and adding alt text. I hate doing it, i'm not sure why but when I started out I was really lazy and never bothered as I really disliked doing it.

I'd be interested to see what other people don't enjoy doing

I make a list of content which I have to add to the website to get new organic visitors, but the amount of articles I actually write is far from my plan

Too many projects

Changing affiliate linking codes.

**golfbettingsystem** · 7 December 2015, 2:24 pm

Checking that affiliate links still work and aren't going to a dead page. Sadly a diarised job now for the worst culprits...

updating bonus information

**RacingJim** · 7 December 2015, 6:35 pm

Yeh updating bonuses and programs that change their bonuses too often is definitely one irritation!

But I would say my worst task is probably article writing. There's only so many ways you can describe the same/similar betting sites, I literally sometimes have to drag the content out of myself, it's quite draining sometimes, I can waste a lot longer time than I should on these articles because I find them so boring and therefore they drag on, I tend to get bored and find myself doing other things to break it up.

I haven't yet got to a point where I'm happy farming that key content out to a writer either, as I can never find one that writes to a very high standard.

changing affiliate link codes and swopping out banners is definitely my pet hate

**BBCasinos** · 8 December 2015, 12:47 am

Casinos that change their trackers
Casinos that change bonuses all the time
casinos that do not deliver proper images and you have to make them yourself

Having to correct the work I have already paid someone to do. It cannot be that difficult to at least check your own article for errors before submitting.

**ElaineGardiner** · 9 December 2015, 3:00 am

Thanks for all the responses guys - an interesting read

Redirecting URLs from a changing site structure. A while back with an old project I had to manually redirect about 300 URL's, not the best time.

**Moonlight Cat** · 9 December 2015, 5:29 am

I try send to outsource all routine work.

**F-L-C** · 9 December 2015, 7:04 am

Definitely changing out of date information, links, offers etc as it's so time consuming yet you feel like you have done no work at the end of it

**Casino-Matt** · 10 December 2015, 12:34 am

Same as the consensus here.

Changing affiliate links (I need to implement a better system to reduce the amount of manual labour)
Changing bonuses (why oh why must these change so often)

The casinos don't make life easy for us do they!!!
