This thread is to make all affiliates of ArikaAmes.com aware of the situation that is going on with the site and the affiliate program. My personal matters will not be addressed in this thread and I will not answer any posts about my personal life in this thread as it should have never come to the board in the first place.
ArikaAmes.com and it's
Affiliate Site are up and functioning. As most know the sites took a hit when the hard drive failed, but they were able to get all of the information and data recovered which is great news.
As far as payouts go. Here was my issue with it and here is what is going on at the moment. My issue with it was, after NATs went down and all the data was temporarily lost, I was unable to see payouts for the period of 09/16/2005 - 09/30/2005 (The hard drive failed on or around the 27th of September). My nats data was restored around the 17th of October, however it kept throwing me errors when I would try to check affiliates stats. When I started going back previous pay periods to figure out what I owed out to affiliates as compensation for when the site was down was when I saw that I could get stats up to the 27th of September.
So what is going on at the moment...
All payouts will be made from 09/26/2005 - 09/27/2005. Along with that, I will go back up to three pay periods per affiliate and take the average and then add that to their account. I say up to three pay periods because if an affiliate was only with me for one of those pay periods it would not be fair. So that is what the deal is now with everything. All affiliates are getting paid, no one was ever not going to be.
Anyone that had any issues with payouts that hit me up were taken care of.
