Please join me in welcoming the eToro forex affiliate program to the spotlighted area here on PAL. For those of you not familiar with Forex, there has never been a better time to explore it, sign up yourself, and promote it to your traffic.

I admit, at first I was a bit confused by forex in general. But after diving in and learning more about it, I actually opened up an account myself. The fact that you can trade commodities like gold, silver, and even oil through the eToro platform was very appealing to me.

As a gesture of goodwill to the PAL community, Keith at eToro has also launched an awesome promo for PAL affiliates for August. Here are the details:

For all the members that register through PAL/CAL until the 31st of August 2009 will be awarded as follows:

Reach 15 new depositors until 30th September 2009 and you will receive a MacBook Laptop on top of your commission profits!!!

Or:

Reach 25 new depositors until 30th September 2009 and you will receive a $10,000 bonus on top of your regular commissions.

That promo is pretty sick!!! So if you're not promoting forex, or simply want to learn more, I highly encourage you all to contact Keith and get started today.

If you have ANY question about eToro or even forex in general, please post them here and both myself and Keith will get them answered for you.

I'm not sure if that's the right thread to post that but I have something to add to the PAL etoro listing. Acutally I'm not even sure if etoro is still a PAL partner.
However, I joined the program and was able to make use of that exclusive hybrid deal. I'm not able to drive huge forex traffic but so far I made 2 FTD at etoro. The last one two weeks ago. And now they tell me that I can't get any CPA payments any more because of the low trader value. Fair enough, they'll pay for the first two traders but no CPA from now on. I have a couple of review sites and no influence or any chance to increase my trader value. I could understand that move when I brought 20 players and all have a low trader value. But 2 is a pretty small sample size to judge any trader value especially when one signup was only two weeks ago. I also don't understand why they try to target to "micro traders" and then complain when someone only deposits $ 100 and goes broke in one week.
I think I wont promote them any more, plenty of other programs out there.
I guess I'm not the only one with that PAL hybrid deal and would like to hear your thoughts and if you had similar problems with them.

They cut your deal off after two depositors that weren't even given months, or years, to perform?

That is a big red flag to me - and I just added them too. Would like to hear more about this from their rep and see what's up.

[Mr-AJ]

Yes that's true. And to be perfectly honest they wanted to talk to me about my commission plan after the first depositor. I ignored it and now they simply decided to cut off my CPA.

[Jeremy]

They are no longer a sponsor here at PAL. Thanks for bringing this up.

Ouch anyone have an alternative?

I know of:

BetOnMarkets.com

TradeFair

Intrade

Intrade I don't think has an aff program or at least I can't find it - TradeFair is non US, does anyone know about BetOnMarkets?

Nowadays I'm pretty happy with them. I think it highly depends on the traffic you send. I have a 10 % registration/FTD ratio and this is ok.
But there are lots of alternatives to eToro. If anybody needs some advice with sublinks please PM
