Is My Affiliate Manager Snooping Or Is This Normal?
But with 1 network, every time I've started a relatively successful campaign, my affiliate manager hits me up by phone AND email, asking broad questions about what I'm doing, how's my ROI, how can he help me ramp thing up, etc. Nothing too unnerving, but pretty annoying. I just don't like that feeling like someone is watching over my shoulder and babysitting me.
Things feel a little extra intrusive with my most recent campaign though. I got off to a $1k start on my very 1st day. Not really mindblowing when you consider the payout is $50 per sale. The next day, he's blowing up my phone and left 2 messages. Then he sends me an email congratulating me on doing great with the offer, and that he needs more details about how I'm promoting so he can "keep it on their records". He wanted to know promotion method, which approved creatives I'm using, and my traffic source. He said he needed that info quickly by THE END OF THE BUSINESS DAY. I replied to him with my promotion method, which creatives I have been rotating, but I was vague about my traffic source and simply said "a banner network". He replied and asked "what banner network specifically?". I haven't replied yet.
This is a per-sale campaign, so not really much chance of fraud unless I'm using a whole bunch of stolen credit cards. I assume if the customers I'm sending are of low quality, the advertiser would boot me off the offer (it's happened before).
Please give me your opinion...am I crazy for being a little bit suspicious of my affiliate manager's actions?
