Some people doubt that commission stealing is a problem.

It is.

Clickbank has taken steps to plug the leaks in their system according to Allan Gardyne’s latest newsletter.

If you’re an affiliate and not subscribed to Allan’s newsletter, you’re missing the best newsletter in the field…it’s free… http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/

I’m glad ClickBank is moving in the right direction because I had a commission deliberately stolen from right under my nose!

How do I know?

Easy.

I’m the ONLY affiliate for a product I endorsed recently.

But, when I sent my announcement, a sale appeared from a SECOND affiliate username.

The person had changed my affiliate link to their own so that they could pocket the commission I was due.

That’s bad karma folks.

Even if stealing commissions was the easiest thing in the world to do, it still doesn’t make it right.

We recently discussed the different software solutions to preventing commission theft at:

There 3 MAJOR updates and 2 news item I want to share with you.

#1 - PayDotCom has a new special package made to members only when they join.

We will be OPENING a new CASH (not fee credit) AFFILIATE PROGRAM that pays you $20. This is the first time PDC has ever paid cash for referrals. (In the past it was credits to your fees.) - This will come from your direct promotion affiliate link only. Please look for this in the next few weeks.

#2 - We have been tracking traffic on out pages and over the last 30 days, PayDotCom gets over 600,000 Page Impressions on the site, login page, and Marketplace.

What does that mean to you?

** Simply this **

We will be selling ADVERTING on our site (similar to ClickBanks Model)

We will ONLY SELL to 30 people. The rate will be just $200 per week.

THAT MEANS: You can get your Ad shown on our site, login page, and marketplace over 150,000 times per week for just $200!

Imagine that exposure!

This is on a First come - First serve basis.

We will only sell 30 slots per week at only $200.

Be on the look out soon for when we open this up for beta. The price will be based on supply and demand. If the demand goes up, so will the price so make sure you are ready so you can lock up several weeks at our low intro rate of just $200 per week for over 150,000 ad impressions!

#3 - Some of the best news yet!

In the next 2 weeks, PayDotCom will be adding a Brand NEW WIDGET to your members area.

Price? ….. It is 100% FREE

That is right:

- you login
- click on the Widget Wizard
- choose category
- choose color
- choose Only PayDotCom, or PayDotCom and Clickbank
- copy a snipet of code
- past on your blog

- START MAKING LOTS MORE MONEY

You see, this widget will feature the TOP 25 items in the category you choose and rotate them.

(Yes, this is massive no cost advertising for our members!)

When someone is at your site and clicks on a product in the WIDGET, it sends the person in a new window to the sellers site with YOUR affiliate link. When they buy, YOU GET PAID.

This is great not only for you as an affiliate, but also if you have a product in the TOP 25 of your category… because you will get millions of free ad impressions all over the net for your product, service, ebook, or software. No other marketplace does that.

And remember, we will also allow you to rotate Clickbank product in this widget as well if you like.

(Since we expect Millions of Widget Impressions per month, once we have more data, we will see how we can offer sponsor ads in the widgets as well.)

This will also be coming in the next few weeks so be sure to look out for this, Right now it is in beta and full release is coming VERY soon!

I know, you are excited!

Finally, the 2 news items.

FIRST (1) - We are going to be adding HACKERSAFE to our order pages. Research shows that Hackersafe along with VeriSign (Which we always use) reduces shopping cart abandonment by as much as 10%.

We are also consulting with an order page expert to redesign and split test the order page and add even more ways to increase conversion.

SECOND (2) - We are adding a new feature for Vendors that will post NAME and EMAIL data from the sale to your AWEBER, GETRESPONSE, PROSENDER, ARP3, or 1shppoingcart, or other autoresponders AT THE POINT OF SALE.

If you use the form data before checkout, it will post that data. If you send just to paypal, it will post the buyers PayPal email address and PayPal Payee Name.

Imagine now, no need to have your buyers fill out a form to register for your product, Their REAL DATA will automatically be posted to autoresponder so you can follow up for life.

–
We are working on many other things, but we wanted to get this out to you so you can be ready to take advantage of all these things as soon as they come out.

Look for them in the next few weeks! This should happen right around the time PayDotCom reaches 300,000 Vendors and Affiliates in our system!

To your Success,
Mike Filsaime
President and CEO - PayDotCom.com

PayDotCom is worth a look.

Quick Description
************************************
Generator Software has one of the longest standing affiliate programs on the web and with best selling products that have stood the test of time, it looks to be one of the premiere affiliate programs to join.

************************************
What I Like
************************************
First and foremost, this affiliate program is managed which makes a major difference. That means if you have questions, there is someone there to answer them.

The commissions are great and what’s even better is the retention. They have such a low refund and on average, when a customer buys a product from Generator Software for the first time, that same customer will typically purchase 2-3 more within the next 4 months - all of which you receive back end commissions on!

They also provide weekly training covering a wide range of topics such as generating traffic, PPC marketing, building your list, designing review sites as well as some fundamentals like the basics of building a good affiliate business.

The other major piece worth noting is the fact that it’s a 2-tier affiliate program. That means it’s possible to generate a residual income from people you refer to the affiliate program who then make sales.

Finally, if you like Generator Software products then it’s worth being an affiliate as they provide insights and advanced notice on all new products and releases.

************************************
Things To Watch For
************************************
As with any affiliate program, you still need to take action!

Although the Generator Software team provide lots of prewritten emails, templates and tools (and they add new material all the time), it’s still worth noting that you won’t generate any sales unless you actually use their information.

Furthermore, it’s probably in your best interest to use the pre-written material as a guideline and then tweak it to fit your own personality or writing style.

The last thing to watch for are their rules and regulations.

You can NOT purchase their products through your own affiliate link and it’s important to know that otherwise you could be removed from the affiliate program.

************************************
Conclusion
************************************
The Generator Software affiliate program is definitely one of the best programs to join online and it’s stood the test of time.

With 11+ years under it’s belt, it continues to grow and prove why Generator Software is one of the most recognized brands for online entrepreneurs. The products are rock solid and they sell well which are all good signs for affiliates.
