Hi guys,
I started as an affiliate with Party in June, and signed 41 RMP's that month. During July, no Bonanza was offered by AM, but somehow had 4 RMP's spillover to Party. During August, a Bonanza was offered on about the 19th of the month, so I diverted my traffic to Party, and had 17 RMP's. In short, 62 RMP's from ~40 days of exposure.
In June my AM told me that I should hold off on signing anymore RMP's and that I should sign no more than 20 (suspect re: fraud or something perhaps?) until July, and that I would be offered a higher bonanza rate then. I farmed off the rest of my traffic to another affiliate, as I didn't want to waste said traffic.
I was told the following (cutdown, obviously):
Quote:
Yes if the players you sign up play often and the players you have signed up are legitimate you will receive much better commission on top of your affiliate commission for next month and it will keep on going up.
Hence, that’s why we are all about sharing success if you sign up good value players you get looked after. So that’s why I have told you to keep the rest of the players for next month to sign up. |
and in another email:
Quote:
| For example you are getting $500 for signing up 15 players but next month you would get $650 to $700 for signing up 15 players. |
I haven't received any followup offers/emails, other than the standard mass mailings. Any suggestions as how best to broach this subject with Party, and who I would be best to speak to? During July, I was farmed off to another AM.
I have considered changing over to a revenue share model, however after hearing some horror stories from various affiliates re: MGR issues like "losing players", and the whole nightmare story re: Empire, I think I'll stick with CPA.
Given that I'm a rather small fish, as I imagine most of you would be achieving several hundred RMP's per month, perhaps you could offer me some advice. Was I really just being coaxed a little, and should I be waiting until im hitting three digit RMP signups per month?
Also curious to hear what sort of penetration rates you guys are getting, and if we can find out what the quality of our players are like.
After reading here, looks like there are some horror stories re: affiliates signing up poor quality players who are not generating rake greater than affiliate payments and player bonuses paid, that their payment is withheld. Are there any real guidelines which PP follow, or any feedback they give us?
Any assistance or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
