The annoying bit of affiliate marketing experience

This is not a show stopper, but an annoying bit of being an affiliate marketer.

Do you have experience like this:

- Receive email notification about a sale is made

- after a month, no commission was received, contact the product owner

- Replied: the customer mentioned other person as his referrer during the product registration, so I'm paying him the full (commission) amount. Thanks for your understanding.

I asked for further explanation

" If you have a page on your website that the general public can search out, as opposed to an educator who is referring based on one of the following (Seminar/Meeting, Word-of-mouth, Newsletter, etc.) then that will always trump the impersonal web-page excerpt – as long as they list that referrer in the Registration."

This happened to me 3 times. And to be honest, nothing I can do about it.

Do you have similar experience?

No offense from the image! I sometimes have to use that in certain interactions! That is really a raw deal that you got there in those instances!

Never have. It’s mighty awful. I would look somewhere else. Just not fair.

No, never - you should check their terms and conditions carefully, and consider a product supplier who doesn't treat their affiliates this way

I'm now on the hunt for alternatives to replace this product. Feeling stupid being treated like this.

It’s not you. The merchant is the problem. Sorry about that.

I wouldn't say I was feeling stupid, more like angry would be a better description! More like "Fool me once--shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!🙄

If you feel like sharing the details, perhaps the community here can help you find alternatives?
