Heads up for any Lovense affiliates.

The Lovense Quake is now the Lovense Dolce.

Heads up… Lovense have just updated their affiliate program terms and conditions.

https://www.lovense.com/affiliate-program

For those with coupon, Cashback, deal, loyalty and reward websites promoting Lovense:

HYTTO PTE. LTD. Affiliate Program Agreement Wrote:2.TERMINATION AFTER ACCEPTANCE

Driving traffic to our site via Coupon, Deal, Cashback, Loyalty, Reward, and similar sites.

Appears when they requested agreement they were still displaying the old agreement.

Just checked again and this has been added to the new agreement:

HYTTO PTE. LTD. Affiliate Program Agreement Wrote:The percentages to be paid as commissions are listed below.

Lovense Sex Machine      "first hand" referrals 5%      "second hand" referrals 3%

So looks like affiliate will only receive from 3-5% for sales of the Lovense Sex Machine.

Also 3% commission at the Lovense program via Awin affiliate network.

Are any other Lovense affiliate noticing some changes and anomalies within the Lovense affiliate program?

1. Landing page links are no longer showing the Lovense page, but the affiliate link code (eg. /r/a1b2c3) instead

2. Sites which you have no affiliation with showing as the referrer? incl. google.com

3. Sales seem to have stopped?

These issues seem to have been occurring since 23/02/2021.

Make them aware, there could be a problem with the affiliate tracking.

I am not a Lovense affiliate so can't really confirm if it is a problem replicated by other affiliates.

Perhaps it's a malicious affiliate trying to get you banned or Lovense looking for a way to offload you as an affiliate?

1. Something is going on with affiliate link tracking
   
2. Are referrer site breaching terms and google as referrer usually refers to Pay-Per-Click
   
3. Could be just normal sales but also backs up that tracking is not working
   

If your affiliate links are not working as expected then it is possible they are not getting tracked properly and also likely you are not been credited for the commission relating to those referrals.

Shady affiliate sites, hacked, spamming, false advertising such as offering non-existent discounts or promoting via other forbidden methods and google PPC is against the Lovense affiliate agreement, so could be a competitor affiliate trying to falsely complicit you or the affiliate program trying to shave or even worse ban you with what they claiming is proof via the affiliate tracking. Contact them to make them aware of any issues so they can't claim they identified anything shady as you are making them aware of issues upfront.

Quote:Lovense runs extensive PPC campaigns. Driving traffic to our site via Google, Yahoo, Bing or other search engine PPC is against our affiliate terms. Driving traffic indirectly via PPC is also forbidden (for example, you use PPC to drive traffic to a specific landing page on your site that hosts our affiliate link). In any case, bidding on our brand name, product names, brand mispellings, etc. is against our terms.

If you do this, we will remove your account and will not pay you out for any referrals.

In terms of having no sales, it depends how many sales you were making, take a look at your history and is the anomaly something that has occurred before especially when the traffic and promotion methods have not changed much. If you were making loads of sales daily and then all of a sudden go a week without any sales what so ever even without a decline in traffic, then one would grow suspicious, 2 weeks then there's definitely something fishy.

Deffo contact your affiliate manager at Lovense and get them to look into your concerns.

Gutted the Lovense affiliate program is only paying 3% on sex machine purchases.

I would recommend the shockspot affiliate program as they pay 15%.

My conclusion is that there was a change in the tracking/stats and this could have had an impact on sales, but also around the time of the Ukraine crisis beginning which meant sales of non-essential items would have seen less sales.

This.

3-5% is a piss take to affiliates.

I would have pushed them had they not introduced this commission reduction for their sex machine.

Any one got this months payout yet (earnings from September 2022)?

Paypal payment received today.

The Lovense affiliate program at AWIN is now closed.

What is the cookie period and is it the first or last click where the affiliate who gets credit? Thx

Are there any other Lovense affiliates who are witnessing some anomalies with their affiliate converted clicks and pending commission? I am seeing clocks which are reporting as converted on my click record report but no corresponding commission in the pending report.

Anybody else experiencing the same issue?

The lovesense affiliate program is pretty sold. I used to promote them when they first came out and was doing really well, until they requested to look at my google analytics, my refusal lead to suspension, but reregistered a few years later and doing alright, steady conversion ratios and paying so can recommend. I don't push them as much as I could, mainly because I do not want them to leave my high and dry if they ever pull a trick like they did before.
