I was paid for 3 months and then the payouts stopped, and I had to contact him to find out where my payments were.
He never warned me in anyway that he didn't accept PPC traffic. He never told me to stop bidding on keywords, nothing. He let me continue to send traffic and told me I was violating his terms (which didn't exist) when I contacted him, meanwhile letting me continue to send him sales.
This is a matter of Dirty D not paying his affiliates for sales they earned, plain and simple.

Not arguing any side. Just reading the morons who are chiming in about "SEO" and "marketing" It shows right away who has any knowledge and who doesn't. As far as the actual dispute you have with him...that is between you two. My remarks are directed at the fucking idiots in here speaking with NO knowledge. I've never seen such uneducated babble in my fucking life. I would call them surfers...but a surfer would know more about marketing than any of these clowns.
Honestly Shoehorn...this whole thing doesn't look good EITHER way. You're out of $350 right? And the concensus seems to be that it's such a small amount that Dirty D should just pay you and then it's all good.
Well, if it's such a small amount...and you know that buying the domain name as an adword ain't exactly kosher...then why not work something out with him? In this day and age of piracy if you can find ANY paysite that you can get sales with...why cut your own throat with them?
Fuck. I'm looking at around 400 different programs I promote...the ratios are HORRENDOUS.
Dirty D offered you $100 PPS for a solid month if you would only send sales some other way than buying his domain name as an adword.
So if you really think you can promote something and really send new sales that he wouldn't already have...then why don't you just do it and make a HUGE payday?
This is a two way street. And you should be able to see his side too.
Or you can come to GFY and post it and pretty much close off that relationship forever. And with the way things are these days? It's not a good idea for us affiliates to be taking a dump on programs.
I don't care what the uninformed on here have to say about sending traffic elsewhere. Number 1, that isn't your traffic. It's Google traffic that you bought. Number 2, there just aren't that many paysites converting anymore.
I know you're pissed off...but if I may give a dissenting point of view here: You can turn this into something good. And that's from me. Or, you can listen to all the guys on here who don't make much money in this business and never will.
If it were me, I'd rather work with Dirty D. He's been around a long time. And he's very smart about making money in porn. I'd take him up on that 100 PPS offer and test my skills as an affiliate and see what I could make of it.
These people on GFY are just here having fun. They don't give a damn about you and they don't have a clue.
