okay. so i see epoch has an affiliate program but is it any good? from an affiliate's point of view that is?
i have yet to see a site that uses epoch for their affiliates? i'd love to be corrected but it seems that everyone uses ccbill or alternatively runs their own.
so if i ran a pay site why should i go with epoch rather than ccbill?
UKNaked Men uses Epoch, as well as ccBill I believe. Many are using one as a primary, the other as a secondary.. . Ask Xtrastr8 for more info.
such small programs as topbucks use epoch. actually a lot of the larger programs that i review sites from use epoch, but they run it through nats or their own program.
we used to use epoch. they didn't have the same features, but i liked 'em. the only reason we stopped was that our site is now non adult and they aren't set up for non adult - yet.
Epoch is my primary processor, and they now have the cascading feature so I have CCBill as my secondary.
I just loaded some new FHGs that affiliates can grab from Epoch's site with their id's embedded. Makes it easier for me and the affiliates.
I tested the Mass Email feature to send a note to all my affiliates yesterday - worked perfectly.
I haven't tried Picture of The Day feature yet, but I'd like to offer it.
Sign up at LavenderLounge.biz and give Epoch a test drive.
Most use CCBILL and their affiliate program... because it is well known and trusted over many, many years.
If you just use Epoch to run an affiliate program dont expect to get anywhere very fast in terms of affiliate signups or affiliate sales.
Some will probably say that isnt true, but trust me, it is, almost everyone has a CCBill account in the industry these days, ive told people this in the past and at first they were dubious, however, upon adding CCBill as an option, they saw what the reality of what i was saying actually is :)
If you want to process with Epoch as your main affiliate program processor, make sure you use a 3rd party script such as NATs otherwise you arent going to see many new affiliate signups.
