I've made a resolution NOT to check my affiliate programs every day. To my surprise the "store" i use to sell BCP has been off line for affiliates for more than a week. This was during some of my biggest click-thrus to the products. It seems the company was "bought" and they are "upgrading affil software" and will be back up Monday. Well that msg has been there for 2 weeks.
Meanwhile visitors can still purchase products...with no affiliate earnings of course.
It doesn't take 2 weeks to go to new affiliate software, you don't have to take down the affiliate section showing your stats and current earnings, and it's not something one does the same day an announcement is made the company was sold.
Methinks something stinky is going on.
I'm hovering at the 100 visitor-per day mark and now THIS.
Now I have to take my attention away from the other site and deal with finding new affiliates for BCP.
I originally thought it was a good idea to have one affil that sold everything because all the sales are added up. This way i can get to the "minimum payout" number more regularly.
They went down and took me with them. I had 3 other sites planned and now it looks like I may have to scrap all the projects.

Affilate Blues...
Yeah that's one thing I definitely learned over the years ....affiliate diversification. Sort of like stocks... You want to have a variety of programs in your portfolio in case one company goes belly up. A similar thing happened to me years ago.
