I agree w/ all the positive remarks about the network, but what about the payments?
Most of the offers I've checked in a quick sample are all bounced through another network & we get roughly 1/2 the payout. If there is some benefit that is outweighing this massive cut, let me know because that has kept me from investing my current campaigns w/ their offers.

I just signed up after reading all the great reviews in this thread. I used someones affiliate link, not sure who's.
Very eager to see what they have to offer.

Another glowing recommendation here.
Joined when I was a bit wasted and Smaxor put up with my rambling IM chatter, giving me some great advice. The first time I've talked to network and felt I could be straight with them about black/grey hat stuff right away. Highly recommended.

i've sent limited amount of traffic to them but compared to other networks that I have sent quite a bit too..ads4dough tracks just as well, if not better.. i have slowly started to send more and more traffic to ads4dough and will continue to pile on the traffic
The Latin on the FAQ page is standard dummy text - Lorem Ipsum - All the facts - Lipsum generator . As for contacting, just PM smaxor here.
The site was redesigned when Smaxor bought the network and the FAQ section is obviously just not finished yet. No idea on the Contact Us form, but I'm sure you could send a PM here or find Smaxor on #cakes.
Yeah that still needs to be fixed. Honestly on the list of things to do it's pretty low.... Would you rather have me help you figure out how to make your conversions better, get new offers, negotiate higher payouts with advertisers or fix that 
Honestly though I know it needs to be fixed and hopefully I'll get it done shortly. Anyone know Zend framework?

Let me clarify - why isn't there a real FAQ? I can't believe that the company is only getting referrals from wickedfire.com. If I just found the site online and saw the FAQ in latin or as you say "dummy text" I would leave in a second. Of course having actual affiliates on wickedfire makes the operation legitimate, but not taking the 5 minutes to create an actual FAQ leaves me scratching my head.

I tried to contact you and the form had an error. Listen everyone says great things and I want to hear more about what you offer. However, I can't tell my business partners that you have a great program and when they ask to see the site you have Latin text and buggy contact form. Now I am coming from wickedfire that everyone says great things about you, but think about all the others that found your site on their own. I don't know how your business does and you may have so much business you don't really care about new publishers, but you could be losing a lot of potential business by not making the presentation of your site a little higher on the priority list.
I've created and sold dozens of companies and now I am creating a new site that does not sell any products and needs to generate revenue through affiliates. I don't know much about this form of revenue so I am soaking in everything I am learning and wickedfire has been a great university. I'm just giving you my thoughts from a businessman to another businessman.
themvf, I really appreciate your opinion and need to get the faq done if you think it will make that much of a difference I'll get it done today or tomorrow. What would you like it to cover?
Being on the network side and talking with other network owners honestly I don't think you get many "good" affiliates by someone tripping across your site/network. I get about 4-5 hits from Google per month outside of our own domain name searches. Everything is done by word of mouth. I have some friends that own networks that are amazing sites, have the best faq's in the world. I mean truly their sites are stunning. But they don't have many affiliates at all. And the ones they do have don't do much business, are sending fraudulent traffic, or are incent pubs trying to send incent traffic to non-incent offers.
Market Leverage is a perfect example of what you get when you do a ton of advertising. Ask any advertiser their traffic is super low quality and most good advertisers I talk with won't run on their network. Just to much crap traffic. By working mostly on a word of mouth basis we keep our traffic quality A+. Which in turn allows us to negotiate with an advertiser to get better pricing on an offer. Which we can pass on to you the affiliate.
Suppose my point of all of this is I've really focused on the networking aspect of building the network as I know good affiliates know other good affiliates.
As with most networks a lot of them have similar offers and it comes down to who you want to work with. The difference of working with us is, if you need to know how to tweak something you're doing to make money most networks just aren't going to be able to help you. I hiring guys that have worked the business like Kaveman so that they can help you be successful. I'm always available as well if you're on the verge or making something work or need ideas on how to make a campaign convert.
The major difference between working with us I think is that we don't just shove offers down your throat and try and pitch you to move you traffic to us so we can make more money we're here to help. You'll never hear me say "hey send your traffic to me". As an affiliate I hate that shit. What you will hear is "Have you tried split testing this offer vs. that offer as I know you'll get a better return as I've run both personally."
I'll work on the FAQ today and tomorrow and see what I can get done. Any input on sections and what you might be looking to see would be great I'd really appreciate it.
Success,
Smaxor

Smaxor,
Thanks for the clarification. From all the affiliate/seo message boards I have been to, it seems that everyone takes recommendations from other posters, so I definitely agree that word of mouth in this business is the strongest form of marketing for you. Also, most people probably sign up from affiliate links in the sigs so they don't even see the FAQs, and thus probably why no one has ever questioned it before. When the time comes I will PM you for details and we can discuss working together in the future.
Thanks again.
