[}:8) Supermoo]

Dear Xxxxxxxxx,

Site Name: djcl.com
Site ID: XXXXXXXX-XXX


AltaVista is restructuring our Affiliate program as of 12:00 am February 9, 2001. Please note that after this date you will no longer be earning commissions for clickthroughs that are generated by AltaVista links. However, if you find benefit in having the AltaVista search functionality on your site, please feel free to continue to use our links.

All currently enrolled Affiliates who have accumulated a minimum of twenty dollars ($20) in search referrals will be fully compensated for the traffic sent to AltaVista through the end of the program as stated above. Since we are restructuring the Affiliate Program, we are lowering the minimum payment for search traffic from the original level of thirty-five dollars ($35) to express our appreciation for your efforts on our behalf.

We would like to thank you for your participation in our program and wish you success in the future. If you have any additional questions of concerns please contact: affiliate-support@av.com

Sincerely,


The AltaVista Affiliate Team


I didn't know you could go lower than one cent! ;)

there's always 0 cents

That's what they're offering!

Hey maybe altavista.com don't need anymore viewers, since more e companys are dying. And advertment are low. The go network is about to go out of business cause of slow advertisment demands.


When will the depression end!!!!!!!

I believe the solution is to get rid of resellers, and companys that have poor tracking. like "dimeclicks, QCN, and other resellers. Cause of them sponsor companys are offering lower price for advertisment. which mean low $$ for us

Hey at least they're not charging for the privilege of linking to them :)

i'm leaving this music network where a fansite of mine is currently hosted. my first month there [about 4 months ago], i was up to $170 with like 3 days left in the month. big---- pay day, right?

well, they emailed all hosted sites, saying they were adjusting ad-revenue. but oh no, not everything past that point, but everything up to and including that point.

went from $170 to $29 or so. bastards. http://www.peel.com ...never let them trick you into letting them host you.
