We are grateful for Godaddy affiliates but they are still screwing us. They are paying out the affiliates NOT on the click and the buy but on the pay. The cookie doesn’t close until payment and that allows any other site or add on like Honey to get the affiliate payment in between visiting this site and the time of payment. It’s ridiculous, stupid, and it steals from the sites that actually have led to a sale. It gives it to Honey or similar sites which have done absolutely nothing to help them sell names.
Godaddy is too big to care. Their employees do but their hands are tied. They can’t change policy, only make higher ups aware. “You guys are making good money” is what they are thinking. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be making more according to their payout policy. The ONLY reason we don’t is because our commissions are stolen between click and buy and payment. And yes, we still make good money. We are having our best month ever. But it should be double. Double our worst month, double our best month. If they ever closed the cookie at winning the auction it would be. Which is a reminder. If a site helped you find a name, click through it before paying. Not just our, any site that helped. Payments should go to those that deserve it.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
Given your readership though, won’t most readers be part of Domain Discount Club or whatever and _not_ be using things like Honey? Or is Honey stuffing the cookie somewhere in between?
From the limited research we have been able to do, the Honey browser extension stuffs the cookie in between even though there is no benefit for DDC members on pricing . Maybe it is similar to the way GoDaddy tells a DDC member that they are getting a great price on a renewal and shows them the coupon code even though the coupon code isn’t involved in the price.
Back in the good old days, companies that had good affiliates, and didn’t want to lose them, would partner with the affiliates that were sending them the best leads and develop closer marketing/advertising relationships with those companies. GD has hundreds of people on staff that COULD be creative with your site and other sites and build a much better relationship. CJ and affiliate programs are a good start to building the relationships and verifying it’s not fraud but a super lazy way to do things.
Maybe another smart company will see this as an opportunity and step up. HINT HINT
