[edit] Affiliate marketing on Wikipedia
Template:uw-affiliate can be used as a warning to users who attempt affiliate marketing on Wikipedia --Rumping (talk) 17:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] There needs to be a section on click-fraud
The practice of click-fraud and the role of botnets needs to be included in the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.231.105.217 (talk) 12:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] History - Web 2.0
New developments have made it more difficult for unscrupulous affiliates to make money. Emerging black sheep are detected and made known to the affiliate marketing community with much greater speed and efficiency
- I could just as easily state precisely the opposite. Not only is an RS necessary, but the entire statement is suspect. 20040302 (talk) 10:16, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Threat to traditional affiliate marketing
I have removed this paragraph as it describes a non-existent conflict betwen CPA marketing and "traditional" affiliate marketing. CPA (cost per action) is one of several different types of affiliate pay structures; it does not represent a threat to "traditional" affiliate marketing as it is just one of several different ways in which affiliate offers are structured (including CPS [cost per sale] which is presumably what the original author meant by "traditional" affiliate marketing.)
Additionally, of the three sources cited in this section, two are 404 pages at a non-notable source and one is a forum discussion which does not itself arrive at any consensus, and is not authoritative. Frank Mottley (talk) 15:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
EDIT: I was going to remove the sources in question but, embarrassingly enough, find myself unable to figure out how to edit the Reflist. Frank Mottley (talk) 15:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
- I think you have removed the sources? If not, please quote some actual text in the article that you think should be removed and I'll have a look. To remove a source, you delete the <ref>...</ref> reference (after checking that the source is not used elsewhere in the article). Johnuniq (talk) 01:29, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- Apparently I deleted them when I removed the paragraph in question, as they no longer show in the references list. Thank you for the tip -- better to know how to do things properly, of course. Frank Mottley (talk) 06:27, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
