In the ever-evolving world of affiliate marketing, not all programs are created equal.
While many companies welcome coupon and deal sites with open arms, others have taken a different approach.
Some brands have decided to exclude coupon sites from their affiliate programs,
citing concerns about profit margins and brand perception.
What You'll Learn:
In this blog post, we'll explore the reasons behind this trend and highlight
some notable affiliate programs that have implemented such restrictions.
Whether you're an affiliate marketer or a business owner considering your own program,
understanding these policies can help you navigate the complex landscape of online partnerships.
Affiliate Programs That Terminated My Affiliate Account
In this section I will list all the programs that have terminated my affiliate account and how the procedure went:
- Did the affiliate program pay my commissions?
- Do they allowed to change the wording of the page (remove all mentions of coupon) to be in compliance?
- Did they warn before shutting down the affiliate account?
These points can help you decide whether you should join as an affiliate with them.
