And there is the second benefit for affiliates, and merchants. Since the affiliate can use a direct link, they can then pass their link juice to the merchant. I have been told of affiliates that were able to acquire a few more points on commission in turn for using the ALE exclusively and direct linking to a specific merchant. More power to the affiliates here, and an added benefit for merchants.
Recently I had a discussion with my fellow panelists on our Pubcon panel and this issue was brought up. One thing we all agreed on, and I want to stress here is that our top producing affiliates, overwhelmingly, are those that we have long standing relationships with. Those that we know their phone numbers, their emails, their IM’s. This is from a group of individuals that I would say have experience managing over 100 programs (total guess, I know I’ve managed over 35 myself).
That got me thinking about all the modifications the networks could make to the affiliate application process and approval queue. At the end of the day, the better and more efficient this process, the more likely the networks are to generate increased revenue. I’m sure they are missing out on commission just in Scott’s case as I know he is top performer.
Along with the known affiliates applying to your program, there are hundreds and thousands of applications that come through that are either suspect, fraudulent or simply incomplete. If you are an affiliate manager reading this, you’ll probably be nodding your head and maybe even have a chuckle. If you are an affiliate that seems to receive more denials than approvals when you apply to programs, this article is just for you. I’d like to highlight some of the things that managers see every day that you may be doing and need to avoid in order to get your applications approved.
that if affiliate links came from valuable, relevant, trust-worthy sources – bloggers endorsing a product, affiliates of high quality, etc. – they would be counted in link algorithms. Aaron from Google and Nathan from Microsoft both agreed that good affiliate links would be counted by their engines and that it was not necessary to mark these with a nofollow or other method of blocking link value.
Is your affiliate program as effective and efficient as possible? Is it as successful as you hoped it would be? Most programs are not and in most cases, an audit of your program, your promotions, your communications and your competitors allows you to see opportunities to increase the performance of your program.

We had JEBCommerce do a complete affiliate audit for us. They did a fantastic job digging into areas and making recommendations based on their findings. We are constantly improving our program based on their review. I keep it pinned on my wall because I can always look back and find things that need attention or improvement.

We were very impressed with the thoroughness of JEB Commerce’s audit. They left no stone unturned, and handed us a number of new opportunities.

I have worked with Jamie since 2001 and would highly recommend him. He is extremely well-known and highly regarded in the world of performance marketing. Since Jamie has handled accounts as an in-house affiliate program manager, an OPM and now as the owner of his own consulting business, he has seen the industry from all sides. As a result, you could not find anyone in the industry with a broader perspective and a deeper understanding. I therefore would give Jamie my unqualified recommendation.
— Paul Nichols :: Director of Sales, Ebates.com
Jamie is one of a handful of true affiliate industry experts. Ever since I first met him many years ago, he has been my go-to guy for answers to hard affiliate business questions. He is a true entrepreneur, and he continually amazes me with all of the ways he immerses himself in the industry. Jamie is a passionate advocate for both sides of the affiliate relationship equation. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
