I was curious if anyone is using an affiliate program through ShareaSale that is converting well or have a favorite there?

Although it probably depends on your site wether it converts well or not, but I would still be interested in your comments...

I'm am signed up with them, but have only tried the ShareaSale affiliate program itself.

Yes, I have a couple that do well. But I have tried many others,
sending thousands of qualified clickthrus with zero results.

Welcome to the forums loveleaf! It is great to have you here!

It looks like you found us through a shareasale affiliate email.

Do you mind sending me a private message (in control panel) with the email you received??

Thanks and Welcome!

Like seeing a place where maybe we can get some discussion
re: shareasale going.

They seem like a nice bunch that possibly can augment cj.
But as I posted above, except for a couple ex cj merchants,
I haven't found any others worth promoting.

Need them to start promoting merchant stats to weed out the
deadbeats like cj did, or it will never become popular with
affiliates. Also post cookie durations, etc.. Also a few merchants
are new to the affiliate game and need some guidance if they
are to be successful.

More thoughts later - kids visiting this week - . Anybody else
out there who would like to see shareasale become a successful
resource?

I like shareasale, as the programs that they offer seem to always get a good response with my gptr members. Whether they are sign ups from banners on my sites or from e-mail traffic.

My only gripe is that no matter how i try, i can never get an e-mail to them. let alone a response.

I have had mails bounce and those that suspectedly got through have never been answered.

After 2 months i am at last due a payment, but cannot decide wether i will get it or not.

Anybody tell me where i can contact them?

This is not, i must add, a knock on their integrity, as i have no reason to doubt them!

I just cannot seem to talk to them.

Did You Try?

email :

shareasale@shareasale.com

Or the contact page to instant message:

http://www.shareasale.com/contact.cfm

jack at shareasale

Haven't had any communication problems with shareasale.
Last email to them about a month ago was answered promptly.
Also had my monthly payments on reasonable time via
PayPal. Something has happened between PayPal and
Shareasale, and they are not elaborating. However, last months
check came in post with no problems. Haven't received this
months check yet, but the post to the Virgin Islands takes
5 to 10 days.

Tim, u r a merchant there. Should have some pull. Why not ask
Jack to participate here?

Win - Win scenarios occur when ALL parties participate.
Merchants, Affiliates, and the Network.
Would like to see this young network and its participants
grow and prosper.

Best to All

Great!

BTW - as a merchant with shareasale - what has been YOUR
experience, with both them and your affiliates ?

My experience with ShareASale?

Well, good and bad. Not a bad merchant account for the price, but the quality of affiliates is lacking a bit IMO.

As well, it is probably a little better suited for freebie sites.

With 350+ affiliates - Many did not install the code. Those that did don't send me very much traffic. I probably have 5 affiliates capable of sending me targeted traffic so far...

Overall, I am happy with it though. It was easy to set up and get started.

BUT! I just set up an additional merchant program with FineClicks

I think my results with them will be much better! I'll make a post about it in that forum here shortly.

Thanks LoveLeaf. And thanks for the posts. We will be announcing some new member contribution awards shortly (by reaching a certain number of posts)...

Wrong assumption. The only two merchants I do well with there
are NOT freebie merchants. They sell good hard good products
at reasonable prices with decent website presentations.

In all fairness, these are two of maybe a dozen, I test promoted
so there might be more there.

I can't make a judgement on this, but would logically tend to
agree with you. I would also think that the quality of many of the
merchants is also lacking!

Given the few mentions of shareasale in the other forums, and
most of those few mentions not being very positive from the
active affiliates that post there, I tend to believe that the
better quality affiliates either don't know about the network,
are still in a wait and see mode, or they are not impressed with
the merchants and the network.


BTW- How many cj merchants have banners designed "free by xxx.com" If a merchant wants free banners they could just go
to a site like http://www.bannerforge.com/ and design a
"professional" looking banner for free. See, it runs both ways.
Professionally presented sites that convert will get professional
affiliates.

You are probably right. It just seemed like most of the affiliates there own freebie sites.

The rest of your comments are very valid. I also agree that there as many bad merchants as affiliates.

I am not bad-talking shareasale as overall, I am happy with them. I think they are going to become an up and coming high quality affiliate network.

I also think / hope they are up and coming. But they have a
number of things to do to gain respect of both the quality
affiliates and merchants that are needed to make them succeed.

The low entry fee and costs brings them many beginner sites,
a number of which are freebie sites. But that is ok, as everyone
has to start somewhere. Heck, as soon as I have the time, I
will most likely set up an affiliate program there.

I think when they address a few issues, they will be "discovered".
Other than cj, they are the only network that I have found that I
can make any dollars with.
