Spearmaster, I am not talking about an industry type certification like ecogra does.
I am simply talking about a way to let newbies see which programs are friendly to affiliates in all the aspects we as affiliates consider important.
How about we call it rating?
Anyone can buy ads, and there is nothing wrong with that IMO.
But we affiliates need to be able to rate programs in some way so others can see which programs give it the extra effort and which do not.
Most places let programs buy a platinum or gold or whatever status. I don’t like that. As affiliate, I can see one program buying more exposure than another maybe, but that doesn’t make them platinum.
What makes them platinum is the way they conduct business with us.
We shouldn’t get hung up on wording of the status here, we can all vote on what to call it later.
I just want to hear ideas on what criteria matter to affiliates, what is important to us, what makes one program better for us than the next one.
