I've advertised SCM for quite some time... I had an opportunity to meet the site owner/operator last January at InterNext... I recently came across something that I found disturbing, and I've NEVER seen before anywhere else... When visitors are sent to the website via my affiliate link (or anyone else's) they receive higher pricing at this page:
http://www.straightcollegemen.com/joinscm.html
($10 higher recurring for one and $12 higher for the other recurring)
Then at this URL that you get if you goto the site directly:
http://www.straightcollegemen.com/joinnow.html
So, the big question, is this ethical to undercut your affiliates? I just recently started checking things out and noticed this change as my conversions aren't what they once were... Doesn't this encourage visitors to goto the site directly instead of via our affiliate links?
I guess on a side note, when I had asked for a trial membership to offer a review to my visitors I was told to "signup under my own affiliate account and then it won't cost as much". Seems very unprofessional...
Open to comments/suggestions...
