Cashlizard, how do you expect domainers to trust you when you don’t have anything on your website?
Plus, your domain is less than 1 yr old with very little traffic.

I’m not sure if you are an affiliate of another affiliate program – hasoffers.

Affiliate programs are asking domainers to loan them their traffic for 30-60 days. Then, we are paid.

Years ago, we experienced some unscrupulous affiliate programs who would take the traffic with payment in 60 days. And, then they dragged it out another 30 days and then they disappeared.

Now, most pro’s have an attitude regarding affiliate programs -
“respect but don’t trust until proven otherwise.”

Affiliate marketing business has exploded in the recent years, big time. Providing support to all the wanna-be’s who are only able to generate a sale or two per year = waste of time and resources.

Focus on the “performers” and continue to build stronger relationships = winning strategy

@ David – I think that’s because they get so much of their traffic from email. Your domains are too “upmarket” for them, at least in the past.

Hydra’s logic makes sense – especially if they’re trying to attract major league advertisers. On the other hand they still have a way to go before they break the old mold. I’ve spoken to them twice and they were frustratingly clueless about the power of developed Geo & Generic domains. Put it this way – they had zero interest in our sites like Nashville.com and Manicure.com.
