Dirty Affiliate Contest from panties.com

March 3, 2010 by Shawn Collins

Affiliate Eric Nagel revealed on his blog how the panties.com affiliate program cheated him out of a bonus he earned.

Eric had mentioned the panties.com contest on an episode of the both sides of the tracks podcast. When I heard it, I thought it sounded too good to be true.

We are so confident you’ll make a sale that we’ll pay you $50 if you put one of our new panties.com banners on your website and do not make a sale by February 28th!

I guess it was.

As Eric documents on his blog, there was one purchase through his panties.com affiliate link, and it happened to take place on February 28 by a panties.com employee.

So, he gets a $7.20, instead of a $50 bonus. Not cool.

There is a discussion on the Panties.com affiliate contest situation on ABestWeb and affiliates aren’t happy with them.
