AffSpy: Epic Failboat | NickyCakes.com

Reading this makes me wonder whether this was done simply for linkbait or that nickycakes really is this clueless. His answers are a complete joke, and would probably deter most new users from giving AffSpy a try. His reasons include that nobody cares about street price (well no shit), that it forces the network to do work (ok, as users why the hell do we care), they have a team of people working on this (I dont care if half of New York City is working on this, I care about it working) and lastly that AffSpy was built to screw affiliates by taking a referral fee from the networks instead of the referral going to your friends (whether it goes to a friend or the company that helped you find the offer, what do you care as a user?)

I use AffSpy on a daily basis. Why wounldt I? Why would I ever log into every single affiliate network to do a search? The purpose of this tool is simply to find which networks have which offers - nothing more, nothing less.

But again, I guess if you have the time to sign up to all 300 networks, and manually do searches on each network, than this tool is probably worthless to you. To the rest of us who focus on making money instead of wasting time - give it a shot.
 


I think his (Nickycakes) main point is that no matter what initial payouts networks offer you as your payout, is always negotiable. As all experienced affiliates know you can always ask for a bump in payout. In that sense, it's not going to be accurate.

As also mentioned these types of scripts are nothing new, just marketed right. As we know who is good at that.

You can get the same tool at ppc-coach.com and it's not advertised as anything special.
 
Don't worry about your payout, worry about your EPC.

When you're at the point that your payout is a problem. As Paul (Uberaffiliate) has said himself. It's time to skip the middle-man, and speak directly to the merchant.
 
I don't use it to compare payouts either, I use it just to search offers. If I'm running an offer on a network and am curious who else out there has it, I'll just go in and search. It won't make you an extra 157% ROI every day but it does save some time.

Like getting an accountant ;).
 
Trust, if I'm making money on offer, I don't need a fuckin service to hunt down the big payouts. It's in my thrist.
 
I always find his posts to be entertaining. It doesn't mean I have to agree with them. You people need to lighten up.

However, I like aff spy because it gives me ideas for new offers and new directions I need to go.

But then again, that's not what they are trying to do. So, they kinda do fail.
 
Hey at least he didn't give clickbooth a four out of five star review.

...You're not a complete retard, nicky.
 
I disagree. There are plenty of filthy rich affiliates who post great info. They already have the money. Maybe they want the recognition?
 
Wrong.

Blogging serves as a great networking tool with other affiliates, as well as credibility and leverage when negotiating with networks. Because of my blog I get :

a) Affiliates who just want to chat. In some cases we end up bouncing good ideas off eachother.

b) Networks that approach me with special private offers they have and white labels they want to give me. I wouldn't even know that those offers existed in the first place.

c) And it does feel good to give a little back. No blogger is going to post information that will harm his/her business, but I was just getting started not too long ago, and that's what I'm trying to help other people do.

I don't trust any bloggers. If you're REAL affiliate. You have no business having a blog.
 
No, this review is an epic fail boat.

You don't have to agree with cakes but he makes some good points.

1. Who really fucking needs this - easy scraper site.
2. Its really stupid to have more than one or two people on this whole project and that booth babe was hired.
3. It steals commission away from actual affiliates whom deserve it more.

Get the stick out of your ass.

Love your blog too SUP3RNOVA but come on and get over it.
