WalMart is a Joke of an Affiliate Program … Linkshare’s Fault
By admin | January 22, 2008
I hate WalMart. I know, hate is a strong word, but I hate them. I am done promoting WalMart. No affiliate support, late payments, short return days and low commission.
When I look through my reports with WalMart, my non-commissionable sales are 20 times greater than my earned sales. That means that the majority of my sales don’t do anything for me, but I am driving free traffic to their site. I am pissed.
I have submitted numerous transaction inquiries on transactions I feel I have been cheated, but months go by and no word from WalMart. I hate WalMart. They are a waste of time and effort and I am not going to send them free traffic anymore.
And while we are on WalMart, how much of this is Linkshare’s fault. WalMart is an exclusive merchant on Linkshare and Linkshare doesn’t help alleviate any problems with WalMart. They don’t force the hand of WalMart at all. I am pissed.
I will not promote WalMart on this site anymore. You will start seeing a lot more stuff on behalf of PepperJam Affiliate Network because they are a straight forward honest network. I recommend joining PepperJam Affiliate Network and promote some of their merchants.

I have had ZERO success as a Walmart affiliate. I don’t particularly like the way the LinkShare affiliate programs perform in general.

Do you really hate Walmart or was that just a great angle to push your PepperJam affiliate link? How do you know PepperJam is honest, they launched a few weeks ago. Everyone is nice at the beginning.

Yes … I really hate WalMart.
PepperJam has a long history on the Internet and in Internet Marketing in general. They have a good track record of being an ethical and honest company. I fully endorse PepperJam.
