We have a very interesting way you can help your favorite Top Affiliate Challenge contestant today. The contestants were just informed that they will be sending bidders to a blog auction that is housed in this post.
It was officially announced today that Ty Hurd has left the cast of the Top Affiliate Challenge for personal reasons. The producers of the show quickly selected a replacement contestant and within hours the empty slot was filled again.
I am telling everyone this now so you can also be a part of the show by calling in if you want by calling while we are on the air at (718) 664-9522 when the show airs 6/16/08 at 7 PM EST.
We knew going into this that some people would be hurt that they did not make the show. We have tried give contestants as much control over their destiny as we possibly could. The only thing we control is the base score, and while that is a powerful tool, anyone with any base score can make it on the show at this point if they can market themselves effectively enough online.
If you are in the top 10, the top 25% or on the verge of breaking through, please send an email to service@topaffiliatechallenge.com that contains the following information. This is IMPORTANT becauyse this is the information we will use to contact you if you make it on the show. If we can’t contact you within 48 hours of our first attempt, we will move on to the next person!!!
Somewhere along the line Molly slipped a second account in on us and threw up a new audition. Some astute contestants realized that Molly’s low “2″ base score would relegate her to the bottom of the pack barring a K9 miracle. So Molly’s accounts suddenly started acquiring super votes - and a lot of them.
We have a lot to execute on our end over the next 7 days, so if we are a bit slower than normal to get to your emails, please be patient with us. If you have an emergency and I mean an EMERGENCY) in the final minutes of voting you can email me directly at thor@topaffiliatechallenge.com or call me directly at 402-212-5393. For clarification, an emergency is “THOR THE TAC SITE HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY THE TURKISH HACKER.”
We have completed the introduction of a new scoring system that calculates scores more quickly than the old one did. On each page load of the website, 10 more scores are calculated. With about 150 videos in the system, that means a complete scoring recalculation every 15 page loads, or about 8 times an hour.
There are mere hours left to audition for Season 1 of the Top Affiliate Challenge! The deadline for submitting new videos to the website is 12 AM Central Standard Time (CST). Any videos submitted that are timestamped by our system after the deadline will not be added to the system.
Note that VOTING will continue until […]
Today we have added XY7.com, neverblueads.com, and uniqueads.com to our growing list of sponsors. I would highly recommend that you take a moment tosign up for an account with each of these sponsors and take a look at the offers they have in their stables. If you make it on the show having this information before hand (especially having your own affiliate manager) could be an invaluable resource.
