It all started out as a mere annoyance. Somebody by the name of Jenna, the Affiliate Coordinator for Affilorama.com, submitted a letter to the contact form for my consulting site with the subject, “Hi there :)”.
Just a quick email, I don’t want to take up too much of you time. My name is Jenna Mathews I’m the affiliate coordinator for Affilorama (an affiliate training center). I’ve just been having a look at your website http://www.shawncollinsconsulting.com and it seems to be a) pretty good, and b) pretty complimentary to our site.
Sooo, (and here comes the sales pitch…) I thought you might be interested in joining our affiliate program which in invitation only.
Your code if you want to join is: moneybags (needed to join)
What will we give you?
- We pay 75% commission on every sale you send our way and this is recurring each month! Basically works out to be $20 each month for each person you refer.
- We can custom-make buttons or banners or whatever to suit your site layout and feel.
You can sign up or check our available images and other material at http://www.affilorama.com/affiliates/signup.php
If you’ve got any questions, queries, concerns or interesting propositions (hey, you never know what we will say!) you’re very welcome to email me back.
Typos aside, this solicitation was sent to me for my consulting site, which “Jenna” thought was “a) pretty good, and b) pretty complimentary to our site.”
I wrote back and expressed that I wanted to be removed from their list.
No response to that request, but I did get another solicitation at the same site two days later. The only difference was that it didn’t mention my URL.
Another request to be removed. Two days later - another solicitation at the same site. Same copy on the third spam as the second.
Later that day, I heard from “Jenna” about getting on AffiliateSummit.com. Same as the second and third spams, just to a different address of mine.
Another request from me to never, ever hear from her again at either address.
The next day the follow-ups started. Subject was “Hi there!”, but no smiley anymore.
Sorry to pester you again 
Just a quick follow up to the email I send you a couple of days ago to see what you think about the Affilorama affiliate program?
Do you have any questions that I can help you answer? Flick me a quick email with your questions/concerns and I can help you out.
Just to remind you this is what we offer our affiliates.
- We pay 75% recurring commission on our monthly membership.
- We can custom-make buttons or banners or whatever to suit your site layout and feel.
If you lost the invitation code it’s: moneybags
Hope to hear from you soon
Guess what I did? I asked to be removed from their list, but with a little stronger language this time.
Two more days pass and I get the same follow-up. The next day, I got the follow up another two times.
That brings us to the present day. My frequent correspondent, “Jenna Mathews,” has yet to reply to me.
Hey “Jenna” and the rest of the gang over at Affilorama.com - don’t go away mad (just go away).
But that could all change now with the launch of a new WordPress Mobile Plugin. Now affiliates can make their WordPress site accessible on a mobile phone with WordPress Mobile.
