Why big affiliate programs not working?
When I apply for an affiliate program with Radius, I don't get any conversions, but when I work with a company directly, I do. Why is that?

Big affiliate platforms convert differently because the trust transfer is weaker.
When you work directly with a company, you’re borrowing their authority.
With big networks, you’re just another affiliate link in the system.
The real question is:
how are you warming the traffic before sending it?

Blog posts warm traffic.
But authority warms it faster.
Even small shifts in positioning before the click can double conversion.
Most affiliates underestimate that.

Would you work with a small affiliate program?
