Q: Preferred commission: PPC, Fix amount per sale, % per sale or other
A: % of sale. Because everything is actually % of sales in the end of the counting process.

Q: Sale notification:
Does not matter. Emal notification is not necessary. If you want to use them you had better offer possibility to turn them of.

Q: Tracking: What is the best tracking technology? In house, outsource (befree, CJ etc) or other
A: No the third hand! We would like to get their money ourselves. This kind of software is simple enough to make it yourself.

Q: Stats: What do you want from your stats?
A: Everything. Espasially we want to see logs of visitors who have not became customers.

Q: Minimum monthly Payout:
A: Does not matter. Low level is good but in other hand low level attract a lot of bad affiliates so you do not have enough time for us - good affiliate :)

Q: Final Payment: What is the industry standard, to allow for refunds, chargeback’s etc…
A: Depends on your field.

Q: Incentives: What are the best incentives?
A: After Phoenicians invented money other ways to say "thanks" became to cost less. :)

Q: Where do you go to find affiliate programs?
A: Everywhere. Mostly by occasion.

Q: If you were offered an incentive to sell a product exclusively (meaning you wouldn’t promote another competitors in the “same field” on your site) would you do it?
A: it depends. Sometimes it is possible.

Q: If I have missed any other key points that are important to affiliates please feel free to elaborate.
A: as I told you via mail: program should be clearly described and ... I guess word "transparent" is the best for it.
