This is sad news indeed...over the past few weeks, on my crusade to find paysites that offered honesty in advertising and overall integrity, I found it was the small independent sites that really shine...Virtually all of the bigger names rely on confusing terms...small print..smoke and mirror trials and other boiler room scams... The adult industry just took another giant thrust forward into the garbage.
The thing I find amusing is all of the big names that think they are the "real" business men that "built" their sites through hard work. About 3 weeks ago, I pulled all links to any external paysites..over 3 days, I set up my own paysite with no trials...just honest and reasonable monthly rates...I know make about 25% of what I did promoting others sites. Which currently puts me down to about $3,000 a month. But my real point is, if I used the same misleading terms that the big boys do, I could have grown my site to my previous level in only 3 days. (Granted, with my search engine, gallery, avs traffic, I receive over 100,000 visitors a day..so I already had steady traffic to send to my sites)
But I wander from the point...anyone can compete in this business if they are willing to lie & cheat...it's sad that the smaller harder working honest players are the ones that will be hurt by this decision by VISA.
P.S. If anyone wants to argue that the business is built on milseading the consumer...look at the announcement sent out by Flashcash yesterday..."
A NEW RULE REGARDING ANY AND ALL TRIAL PROGRAMS.
NEVER STATE HOW LONG ANY OF OUR TRIALS LAST TO YOUR SURFERS."
