It's crazy how many affiliate managers and program owners do not respond to an email. Also interesting is the amount of fake contact email addresses that are listed.
I know it wouldn't be a very sponsor-friendly thing to do, but I think it would be very valuable as an affiliate if there was a section that listed the sponsors which use fake contact information, or contact address that bounce mail, or who are otherwise unresponsive to attempts to contact them.

I'd also love to see a section which details things like how a sponsor tracks affiliate traffic. Do they use cookies? How long before the cookies expire? Do they count first or second page clicks? Do they not count clicks at all and only report sales? That kind of thing.

The Brotherhood must be feared to be respected.
