Relations between Affiliates, Merchants and Affiliate Networks do not always run smoothly. It is important to remember that Affiliate Marketing is a business and that while Affiliate Marketing may be a way to collect extra income, it is someone’s job to manage the Affiliate Programs and Affiliate Networks.
These are some guidelines for an Affiliate needing conflict resolution:
- Contact your Affiliate Manager/Program
- If the problem persists, contact the Affiliate Network (if it is an Independent Affiliate Program, contact customer service)
- Always be polite
- Never Bad Mouth an Affiliate Program publicly
- If resolution is impossible, politely cut your affiliation and remove all links
