Gossip Kings went from $40PPS to $35PPS? - GoFuckYourself.com

garce · 01-27-2011, 07:17 PM

Anyone else get this, or am I just special?

Actually, I have almost no celebrity traffic. I have a link up to their fake site and they convert well enough on the 100-200 hits the link generates.

Is this an across the board unannounced payout change, or are they just picking on me?

Nicky · 01-27-2011, 07:18 PM

Lowered me too.

Hi Guys,

This was a program wide change not just to specific webmasters. Here is a copy of the email that went out in the even you did not receive it:

Dear Affiliate,

We would like to inform you that due to an increasingly tougher processing
market in the celebrity niche we are being forced to use more expensive
billers to process memberships. Because of this we can no longer justify a
$40PPS rate while staying competitive and continuing to offer a high
quality and converting product. Therefore, effective this date Gossip
Kings will lower it's PPS amount to $35 for all webmasters which continues
to be one of the highest PPS in the niche.

We thank you in advance for your continued support.

As always, I am available to answer any questions you may have or offer any support. My contact information is on my signature.

You'd think with a $120 sale they'd still be able to pay $40 PPS.

Wait a second ... these people have zero content costs and cannot page $40?

One program I know updates their main site every two to three days with a new exclusive video featuring two to three models and pay $35 no problem.

But a site that scraps celebrity content and rapes the surfer can't do $40?

What a load of bullshit.

Agent 488 · 01-27-2011, 08:24 PM

there are a few programs so similar in business models it's almost eerie.

HomerSimpson · 01-27-2011, 09:41 PM

is there any celeb sponsor that is converting fine and that is shit free (no cross sells)

KingpinMedia · 01-27-2011, 10:11 PM

No letter was sent to me, nor did the rep that used to hound/spam me, didn't even notify me.

Just another reason to push me away from sending them traffic.

Side note: They also get more charge backs, than another program, I've ever promoted. I don't even really count their sales anymore, because I know it will eventually just get charged back.
