If adsense isn't making all that much money then why not remove it? You might find your affiliate program MORE than makes up for the potential adsense revenue.

I agree with nakedgamer, removing adsense would also give your site a cleaner look. It makes all your affiliates happier, and you get more people to glady push your site for you, so why not

Don't have time to post in this forum? Don't you want to get HONEST and QUALITY affiliates?

Why start an affiliate program, pay for an announcement, spend money on setting up with Shareasale, and then not take time to answer the questions and concerns of potential HONEST affiliates?

You do realize this thread will eventually be at the TOP of the list on google when people search for upperbid?

So far the major and only concern is the adsense leak. You are unwilling to even consider that we might know what we are talking about when it comes to affiliate marketing.

I also think this is one of the largest forums for Shareasale (and it's affiliates) with even SAS having a representative here. THIS would be the place to get SAS affiliates.

It's obvious that upperbid.com is not really interested in an affiliate program, but instead wants to get a bunch of low cost traffic to it's site and to its adsense account.

Hmmm, current AdSense links:

Online Seized Auction - Find jewelry, rugs, collectibles, coins & much more. Register now.
FREE Online Auction - Never a listing fee never a final sale fee

Guess these slipped through your filter.

If you're hoping to recoup that investment with sales brought by affiliate referals, you're going to have to stimulate a much greater sales rate. It's apparent that what you have been doing isn't working. What are you doing different that will bring that about.

This is all too reminiscent of that guy a few weeks back that showed up with an auction site that was selling high demand, high priced items for a pittance. We never did get out of him where he was really making the money to be able to do that.

I hope Upperbid hasn't really abandoned this forum. Please come back. I want to let you know that you can rest in serene assurance that I will not be signing up for your program. Your wish has been granted.
