Hello Affiliate colleague’s
Well nice to see there is much response on this issue and that other affiliates have the same or different points to address in this post.
Meanwhile I been contacted by United Partner Program and they explained that, it is never the purpose to intentionally make sub affiliates into master affiliates. They have to ask for it personally. Also explained that this is all done in good trust with there affiliates.
(I would have posted the mail/letter but it is all in Dutch.. so 99% of the people here won’t understand it)
This all sounds well and I think there is not a bad though behind it all. But still when one of my sub affiliates becomes a master affiliate, it feels like I done a lot of trouble for nothing.
Keeps me wondering how I could hide that information (how to become a master affiliate) away from them.
I think it would not be so hard to rewrite a piece of software where the possibility of a second tier stays intact. If you come in trouble with the percentage.. get 2% and give 2% to the master affiliate…. everybody happy I think.
The input from Elgoog is also very useful.. never though about the links to “beveiliging,privacy,eerlijk spel, support” and thanks for showing us how to solve this.
Best thing I learned from this all is that this forum is been read well. And that is has a great influence on the companies who offer these affiliate programmes. Also I learned to keep writing about these things. In the end it benefits us all.
Still the issues remain…
