what do you do with posts on your site when the vendor drops you ? I'm confused the site is sending clicks to the products no sale's yet then I get an email that they are dropping me. I have sent an email to the vendor but haven't heard back yet. Now I have these post with links and what do I do.
All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

    If you think your site is worth keeping, remove those links immediately and post a warning on your site about that vendor "going out of business" or something. Then find another one (there has to be somebody else, right?) and start linking to it.
    If they don't want you, just move on...

    Find another vendor/affiliate program and link to it.

      A vendor will drop you if your reported for spamming...

      Not insinuating that you are, just passing on information...

    If your existing product provider does not want you, you should aim to find out why. How much traffic have you sent them over what period of time? Why does your traffic not convert? Are you sending relevant traffic?

    When you have the answers to these questions you will be in a better position to choose a better more relevant product to promote and you will also become a "better" affiliate.

    In my view it's much harder for a good product provider to find a good affiliate than for a good affiliate to find a good product provider.

    Thanks so much for all of your help. No I'm not spamming Vinny but I know what you mean.I've only been with them a month over 200 click throughs. If you don't mind I have another question. When you talk about traffic not converting I thought that if they clicked through to the product then it was the vendor's job to sell. This is my wife's site and she is talking about what supplies you need to can food. What do we do to find out what we are doing wrong in converting traffic? On one post she did put another suppler along with this one could that have something to do with them dropping her? This is a big blow she's put in a lot of hard work and finally seeing click throughs. We want to find out our mistakes and fix them.
    Thanks for the help sorry for so many questions.

    Hi newby31,

    You are right in a way that it is the vendor's job to convert your leads into sales. But the vendor can only do that if the traffic you are sending them is targetted. To use the old dog training example, if you send traffic relating to badly behaved dogs to a dog training site it is targetted and some will convert to sales. If you send traffic relating to boat owners you may get a sale but it is not very likely. Clearly there are grey areas in between. The more targetted your traffic the more sales you will make.
