Worst Referral Programs?

This is rediculous and exactly why I will never use copeac again. The people I referred to your company should not be given a chance to screw me out of a deal that was made between YOUR COMPANY and I - I was offered 2% to bring you business, you cut it out from under my feet. My referrals were getting me $800-$1900 per month. Thats a lot (to me at least) and now its just gone.

I would seriously think twice about doing business with copeac.

If I was one of your referrals and I was able to make more money not being one of your referrals then why shouldn't that be allowed. There is only so many percent that there is. Don't you think the person doing the work should be the one that gets the bigger bottem line. And its not like they are "cutting them out from under your feet" They can sign up for another account if they want to that is between Copeac and them. Don't think that this is benefiting Copeac if an affiliate gets a new account. It is about the affiliate getting a higher payout.
 


Hey I've got an idea - If you're not making enough off your affiliates...

Why not... let's see.... NOT be throwing extravagant parties in Las Vegas with strippers and booze.....etc

I understand that you're upset, but please don't be ridiculous. That party was tight.

As far as sucky referral programs, I'm going to have to say Affiliate.com is in the running. I don't really have any other beef with them (they've actually been really helpful in other areas), but you should read the referral system terms. They're pretty silly.
 
How many people have had affiliate managers suggest that we drop our referral in order to get paid more?
 
i have like 15 referrals at hydra and ive made like 10 cents.

Almost 90 referrals and less than 50 bucks / month @ Hydra....

My worst referral program goes to Ads4Dough. I have made close to $8250 bucks in referrals since December... and have not received a check for it... I can understand a month late... but these are since December and it's now March...

I understand Jason has to do it by hand but it's starting to get pretty... crazy

Just want to add that Jason talked to me about this issue and it has been resolved. :)

Ok... so hydra gets the worst referral reward again. :)
 
the problem with a4d referral program is that he can't afford it. he will lower the CPA of the affiliates you referred, or encourage you to make a new account, not under a referral.

I have never encouraged anyone to make a new account or even suggested it. Just FYI. I do make people aware of what I can pay them more or less based on whether they have a ref or not. I've always been 100% transparent about that.
 
If you gave your referral some pointers and help, you more than deserve the referral commission. However, if you had them sign up under you with the understanding you would help and gave them a whole ten minutes or less, than what do you expect.

Yeah I know, some people will screw you, you can't trust everybody.
 
I have to wonder why anyone bothers referring anyone to any network anymore after this thread. But if it's going to be done, based on what was said here, Ads4dough is the only one I would feel comfortable with referring.

Is this accurate? Out of the hundreds of networks out there is this the only one that will continue the pay out?

No thats not accurate, they stopped the referral program unfortunately. Then they switched to the new system so all old referrals are now gone.
 
I was making anywhere from $800 to $1,900 per month on my copeac referrals, not anymore.

Because COPEAC chose to give the affiliates (making me the bank) payouts of >90%, they decided I wasn't worthy of my measly 2% anymore.

I've since removed every single link pointing to copeac. I will not refer new affiliates to them anymore, nor will I do business with them.

Their slow servers among other things ruin it for them.

Don't cut commissions out from beneath those who brought you the business (affiliates) in the first place.

Copeac said same thing just took off my referrals out of the blue I vote for COPEAC as the worst referral program out there but I'm sure there are more shady networks out there!
