New Points System - Downloads not Counted

Coupons — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 08:53:56 -0700

After the new points system was put into place, I noticed that I had not received any new points for a couple days. I knew that the system had been changed to count downloads instead of clicks. I send thousands of clicks with the Spread Firefox affiliate links daily, so it seemed strange that not a single person had downloaded.

Disappearing Points

I checked my points today and I only have 653 points. However, I am in the Top Fox Movers with 1682 slots. How is this possible? Were points deleted from my account? I know that I have more than 653 points.

One week after joining Spread Firefox I made it to the Top Fox Movers on the home page, which is very exciting. I've been promoting Firefox for years and I'm glad I can now see how many people are actually downloading.
I love open source / free software and I'm happy to promote Firefox as well as other open source projects.

Is it possible to see more detailed stats, such as number of clicks, clicks and downloads by banner id... etc? It would be nice to see some details, but perhaps this is not possible with the affiliate tracking script that is being used. Is it a Drupal module?

New banner idea - easy to share buttons

jglassenberg — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:28:29 -0700

While continuing to work on "dynamic banners" (banners that display one thing to non-Firefox users and something else to existing Firefox users) another idea came up to spread Firefox banners more easily. We could use a service called Wildfire to let Mozilla supporters send a banner to a blog post, social networking profile, etc, with just the click of a button. This simpl

Outsourcing The Rewards Program - Suggestion

NoMoreAdware — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:21:37 -0700

I think the rewards program should be broad enough to appeal to a diverse range of people. eg different cultures, interest groups, age groups, different walks of life etc. So to that end, why not outsource to one of the many companies that specialise in corporate rewards programs that can deliver a wide range of products and services to appeal to all kinds of affiliates? Diversity installs resilience and evolvability, which should further expand Firefox's market reach and ensure it's continued growth and evolution into the future.

Kind Regards,

Wayne

monetary reward program

web browsers — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 07:27:15 -0700

Offering a t-shirt in exchange for points isn't very serious, and the top 250 links page doesn't count for much because of the nofollow tags. I think if you want to motivate existing affiliates and bring professional internet marketers on board you really need to provide a monetary reward program. Reading the other comments in these forums I see some people are asking questions like "what are the use of the points?" and "do we get paid?".
My suggestion is that affiliates should be rewarded an amount that's at least 30% of the expected 1st years average profit on each of their conversions. The soon to be discontinued adsense referral program for firefox / google toolbar combination seems to pay approximately 75c per conversion.
The payment isn't just about profit, but also about reimbursing affiliates for advertising costs in promoting firefox as well as paying due recognition to affiliates for sacrificing their precious time. A more reasonable compensation program is going to result in more time, effort and money directed towards promoting firefox.
Alternative ideas, disagreements or agreements welcome....
Regards,
Wayne

Idea for points

jchea — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:05:44 -0700

It seems like points in the affiliates program need to be improved. An idea I had was to have the points that each affiliate accumulates translate into some kind of prominence on the spreadfirefox homepage. For example, the affiliates with the top 5 amount of points would get buttons on spreadfirefox that are proportional in size to the points that they have.

I'm tempted to just test out some banners in widgets myself. I have about 20-25,000 users in a Hebrew translation widget for iGoogle, which could contain an especially nice group of potential new users since the Firefox usage rate is apparently low in Israel. However, I am concerned about the results of posting banners in small widgets.

One of the purposes of the new banner prototypes we've been testing here is to find ways to make banners more fitting for web widgets. Because web widgets tend to be limited in space, developers are more reluctant to fill widgets with ordinary web banners. It would therefore be great to hear what ideas everyone has to make more widget-y banners.
