You can also collect emails on your affiliate page using something like Aweber. This allows you to collect email addresses of your affiliates before they sign up to promote you. You can entice them to sign up by offering extra tools, banners, etc. to subscribers. If you have existing affiliates then look in your website stats for the referring URL's. Then see who owns those sites and attempt to contact the affiliate that way. If you cannot find their contact information on their website then use a service that looks up the domain registrant information and contact them. Hope that helps. :) Hello Stephen,

When I can identify an affiliate I immediately email them and invite them to my affiliate help pages with an offer to contact me directly for additional assistance but none have responded. Affiliates seem to operate in shadowy secrecy as if they really don’t want me to know they are my affiliates. When I do manage to find a website promoting my product there is seldom an email address or in some cases even bogus email addresses are used. ClickBank does not publish affiliate information so how does Miles obtain the contact information in order to put into effect the excellent ideas in this article and what percentage of his ClickBank affiliates actually respond to him?

I just came across one CB publisher who has their hoplink in the marketplace (#1 position) and I send them over $100 per day in sales. But now their site is down and they didn't tell anyone. 2 emails and 1 phone call to their office and still no response. So I'm pulling ALL their links from my campaigns and sending the traffic to another offer that earns me less per hop (click)... but still better than 0 and upset visitors. It will be very hard for them to convince me to return. PS I also let CB know, as it seems you don't monitor your hoplinks to see if they go to the approved landing page. In this case the domain has changed so you should check that and look into it asap, as it damages your rep too. …and have your site up and running at all times.
