REAL HELP
Former madcheddar employee here. Let me help you and explain to everyone what is going on.
Who to contact as an affiliate:
contact
[email protected]. He is the affiliate manager.
skype contact: live:james_24187
Why We Do Not Answer Messages:
If you sent a message via the NATS form, it will never get answered. Those emails aren't forwarded to us. They get buried in the NATS inbox that never gets looked at because there is nothing that tells us to pay attention
Why Your Payments Are Missing:
Most likely because you chose the cheque option. Switch to paxum if you can. Nobody in the business likes issuing cheques anymore. It's a pain in the ass, especially if your minimum payment is $100 or some low number. Frankly, most affiliate programs will ignore you for anything less than $500-$1000. The hassle of chasing down a missing $100 cheque, costs more than the payout.
Please don't blame James or whoever you talked to, if there is no followup to any initial responses like "I will look into it". Unless you are a big affiliate, resources are prioritized for more important things because it's still a growing operation.
Is Madcheddar Scamming Affiliates:
No. They don't withhold payments or ignore them. It's just a massive operation that grew from a small idea, into 6 sites in 5 years. Lots of people are working overtime and things get missed. I will apologize for missing things when I worked there.
Do Affiliate Programs Care About Threads Like These:
Honestly, no. It's not like 10 years ago when every employee created a GFY account.
