with the new Hosts Looking for Hostees and Hostees looking for Hosts, IMO, we need something like that, except for affiliates.
it could just be a really simple topic where any person looking for affiliates could post a link to their website, a contact link, and possibly a button and code. i think it would be really handy for a lot of people, especially people that are just starting up their websites. good idea, or no? |

i think it would be helpful to new sites, but people tend to really misunderstand what affiliations really are. most think it's just a matter of exchanging links and commenting each other's blog every now and then. that's a blog roll, not an affiliation.
affiliates are similar to partners, except they don't have any ownership of a company. affiliates might be rewarded for traffic they send, or it might simply be for promotion. createblog.com & ego-box.com are two out of somewhat few resource sites i know that actually have a grasp on what affiliates are for, because the more traffic you send to them, the more they send to you. most other sites just send more traffic to their favorite site, by putting them always at the top of the list. it would be a good idea if it was for true affiliate applications, and not for finding people like a tame despair.nu. |

QUOTE(kreios @ Jul 11 2008, 12:26 AM)  eh. Kinda good. This is kinda why createblog has the whole affiliates program now. createblog has an affiliates program with createblog. i think what she's talking about is a thread that lets people link exchange with each other. and it's a pretty good idea, especially if you're just starting up a site and want to get yourself out there. any linkage is good linkage when you're just starting up. |

My suggestion would be to re-open this thread. I totally understand the idea behind closing (and unpinning) it, but it help solve this issue I think. I would also edit the first post as to not make it exclusive to cB affiliates. |
