I'm not naming any names but I seriously think I'm getting scammed sometimes.

So I send traffic to paysites as an affiliate like I have for years. Some sponsors I have been sending to for 10 years very reliable.

A couple of time seems that when ever I get a NEW site that really converts like it was 2000 again. I mean like 1:10 or lower (not sure if that's raw unique or what stats exactly as some programs calculate different to make their numbers look better) and this has happened a couple of times on $1 trials with PPS and it converted really well.

Then either it goes completely cold.

Or the sponsor converts me to revshare or just closes my account and then I have to contact them to see what's up talk to them get them to pay and then switch to revshare.

On the sites that do geo and show where the signups are coming from they are from all over the world. I also track all by campaign so I can see what sites have the best traffic.

I have never done any fraud, no spam, nothing shady. One of my sites promotes $1 trials. I have been told by one sponsor out of the blue that I'm not allowed to promote their site on a site advertising one dollar trials. Yet they offer one dollar trials.

So what's going on here...Shaving filter kicks in? Or do I have book markers that do a hit and run on new sites I put up?

It seems to me it's the sponsors responsibility to keep the members and mine to get them to signup without any incentives or lying which is what I do. Don't blame me if you can keep them after all if you have not heard porn is FREE these days.

So I have run into this about 4 times in the last 3 years and on the flip side I have sponsors that convert not as well but pay me regularly and have never once questioned my traffic in over 10 years.

I'd really like to start building more sites and making more money doing this again but not if I have to deal with this crap. I'm almost afraid now when something converts well.

Anyone else go though this? If I'm doing something wrong I'd like to fix it.

Please save the B.S. answer for another thread. Not looking for humor looking for a real answer.
