Questions to Ask Your Affiliate Manager (AM)

[Source: Nickycake.com] 

Once you join an affiliate network, it's an excellent idea to personally introduce yourself to your affiliate manager,  your affiliate network customer service representative.  They are their to help you.  It's in their best interest to see you succeed.  Afterall, the more money you make, the more money you make for them, so get to know them.  Be careful about oversharing inside information about your campaigns though until you know they can be trusted.
Payouts are negotiable.  If you feel you need/deserve more, you can ask for it. Send only legitimate leads, make sure of the rules. Some networks don't allow
"incentivized traffic" for example.  Some don't allow bidding on keyword terms. Never bid on keyword terms when they disallow it.  If you break their rules, they can ban you and keep your commissions. And further, you could quite possible become blacklisted among other networks.

Don't know what to ask or where to start?   Try this:
  1. I'm new and am seeking advice. 
  2. What is converting well?
  3. And other suggestions for me?   
Don't be shy!  The more advice and guidance you request, the quicker you will be on your way to success.
