Suggestion for Affiliate Programs

[kaus]

This drives me crazy. The best way to turn off an affiliate from your program is lack of information on the company website. In my honest opinion, affiliate programs should make all information about the program fully accessible for the affiliate without having to sign up to the program

Things the website should include are;

Payment plans and what are qualified players. How and when do you pay affiliates?

How do you calculate my earnings?

Do you offer a sub affiliate program? If so what are the terms?

Do you provide any special promotions for affiliates?

What kind of reports will I have access to? Is it in real time and how extensive is it?

A brief about the poker room or other brands available to promote.

An about page. I want to know how long have you been in the industry, who you are licensed through,any other realtive credentials to your program.


I should be able to decide if I want to promote the company on my site prior to joining the affiliate program. If there is a lack of information, in all odds I will more than likely leave just like a player would if they couldnt find what they were looking for on my own site. Its great being able to find everything in one shot and I wish all of the rooms took this approach

Just some things I think some programs should take into consideration with their websites.

Thats a good point Kaus, we have most of that info listed, but I think Ill add to it.

Thanks for the great idea!

You guys are doing a great job Brandon!

Ive just seen some that dont offer any solid information. A few of them who have won awards dont even display those awards on thier site. If your poker room or casino has been given an award by Online Gambling Magazine or Casinomeister..display that baby proud! It will be included in reviews to let players know that the award was given to you based on player opinions.

Just like a player when I come to the site I already have my foot in the door...a little information can help give that extra shove.

Thanks for this! I will include all of this when the revamp of Focalclick is fully complete in another few weeks or so.
