do you promote qaffiliates.com

[Rich]

they have a couple of paysites that i might want to use but i have not heard of them before do they pay and are they trusted do you know?

I don't, so i took a look at their site and I was kinda shocked at the lack of any promo stuff, only 3 banners for 2 of their sites and 6 for the other???

One of their sites uses Epoch payment for affiliates, which means you'll have to wait until that sponsor accrues $100 before getting paid (unlike the way CCBill and Verotel pay). The other two sites use Verotel. So it appears you are not going to get a lot of webmaster tools provided by the sponsor. Are the sites, tours, and niches going to be worth the lack of tools?

That's not true. The Epoch affiliate payout min is $50. And it would be $50 for all epoch programs combined, not 1 sponsor.

Well the amount of promo materials really doesnt matter ultimately, these days im actually finding that i end up using more text and image based promo materials than actual banners or buttons, the only issue for me is that it uses Epoch and i really dont promote Epoch based sponsors and i know a few others who wont either.

Its a shame to because i could probably send them some sales and im currently looking for another underwear site to add to my existing lineup

You're right about $50 minimum; I had my threshold set higher. But, the threshold amount is per sponsor, not all sponsors combined.

I went round and round with Epoch about not getting a payment, then when my balance with UKNakedMen reached my threshold, I got a payment for ONLY the amount from UKNakedMen. It did not include the amounts from other sponsors. So, that is a big drawback to using the Epoch affiliate pay system compared to CCBill or Verotel.

You are wrong about the it being a single sponsor. I'm not sure what your problem was with UKM but I just confirmed with Epoch that its all programs.

"It's all programs put together.....$50

Meaning....If I made a sale at Program 1 for $20 and then made a sale at Program 2 for $20 and last made a sale at Program 3 for $20......Epoch would pay the affiliate out because they met the $50 break by combining the 1,2,3 together."

The payout breakdown online also shows that.
