Affiliate Program Suggestions - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

**MattHawkins** · #1 (**permalink**) 27-07-2007, 11:04

I've just signed up for the EUKHost Affiliate Program and I've got a few suggestions.

The Text Ads and Text Links either point to iDevDirect.com or are labelled with iDevDirect.com product titles. I assume these are the people that write the affiliate scheme software. I think all these links need pointing to and/or labelling with EUKHost specific text.

I think the available graphic links would benefit from a EUKHost image that is 80x15. This website :

http://www.zwahlendesign.ch/en/node/19

has example images and templates for creating your own. Maybe EUKHost could have a little competition for forum members to design one.

I'm sure some people don't want adverts on their website but would be happy with a more descrete 80x15 button.

The affiliate program is quite generous though with the 20% you get from it per sign up. I am actually quite happy with it at the moment - I have got to admit I haven't noticed the link to the other website before

nor me till today

as Matt disclosed this information and so I was able to find out what was wrong. I added few new banners today and few new text links. All the default text links from idevaffiliate have been removed now.

Sounds good - its amazing how you can use something and not notice things like that. Well spotted Matt!!

That's ok

all in a days work.

There's still a few default iDevAffiliate v4.0 items in the drop down "Choose A Product Group:" under Email Links.

They can run but they can't hide

It is a great program alright. I did sign up but was a waste of time, because I usually pay for the hosting for other people with my account because its easier. Alot of my customers have panic attacks paying for stuff online, clickig links etc, so no way for me to make money.

Definately a great idea though, and if people do it right, there is alot of $$$$ to be made.

lol, I know what you mean about people being paranoid about paying online!! People forget online payments have come a long way since they have been introduced and there are a lot less dangers and scams that work than before and a lot more secure connections to send the data across

Yeah. One of my friend makes more than 100k in a month just from designing few websites and shared hosting for those. He knows where he needs to send his Sales Executives and how much you need to quote government organizations and corporates. Those people will never come online to purchase a hosting plan or get their website designed. If you have expertise in sales then you can quote them whatever amount you wish to earn and all that they need to know is what other customers you have and will you give them 9 - 5 support

Wow thats a lot of money - if I could just have 10% of his earnings I would be happy!

You need to be that good with Sales if you wish to earn that much. even 10% of that is not so easy if you dont have that level of market knowledge and good Luck with you

Your right, maybe I should just go get my degree and then climb the ladder, collect my 150k a year salary and let others do the worrying
