Hi BlackWidow73,
thanks for improving our rating, we have worked hard to make things right and its nice to be rewarded for that.
We have not advertised since last year, all our traffic is affiliate traffic.
I'm a dog person, I know much more about dogs than I do about being a salesperson and for that reason I rely on affiliate relationships so I can concentrate on creating content to help dog owners
Without our affiliate program we would not be a business...its not about using affiliates to be lazy, its about making the space in my time and focus so I can help dog owners.
Last year I barely wrote more than a few dozen pages of content because I was always working on marketing, which isnt the reason I got into this...I do what I do because my own dog died and I want to help people avoid the heartbreak I experienced.
We routinely vet affiliates, but its always after they did something silly. We have literally hundreds of affiliates and 99.5% of them do the right thing...it is only a very small percentage that misbehave before we find them and remove from our program.
I'm asking you please don't punish my company and team of dedicated dog lovers because of the actions of a single individual, a rogue affiliate that does not represent the ethics or practices of our company.
Thanks,
Murray
