It would seem like both come hand in hand in this instance ;)

Hey, I'm sure you have dropped sponsors that did't produce for you right? I mean why would you keep a sponsor that was not selling... Sponsors have the same right... if you are costing them money, then they should be able to dump you... maybe your sign ups had too many chargebacks? Who knows.

liquidmoe · 12-19-2003, 01:21 PM

Just a recap of the two valid points I have found that still havent been addressed. If zorg had no trace of cheating and seems to be a stand up guy why not send him a warning email and try to work with him to get his conversions up, or switch him over to a different payment system if he so wished. And secondly the spam question, still no answer on that.

I signed up with them recently, and am getting spam from that address as well. it sounds like the same spam You got, Holly..

ludwig · 12-19-2003, 03:24 PM

So what is it about the spam PB?

Signed up and very shortly started receiving the same spam everyone else seems to be getting.

I love pre-auth's $7,500 MC's....

I'll swap you my guaranteed $7500 platinum card for one of your new cars if you like

Zorgman, my philosphy is this concerning that type of behavior of a sponsor: If they have close your account because of your trial retention, screw them! They are not worthed ! Once a surfer join their trial site, it's their FUCKING BLOODY job to retain them and make them signed up for the monthly sub.. It's just plain bullshit that sponsor dumb the responsability of their conversion INSIDE their own sites, to the webmaster that brought them the trial surfer. Frankly, how lame is that !

Webmaster can filter the traffic all they wants, but once inside a trial site, no webmaster can be accountable for the behavior of that given surfer. I would guess that PB has just very lame websites and marketing, if they can't retain their own surfer. On our part we have already the responsability to attract the surfer, make it signed the trial or full membership, and find the appropriate strategy to do so. It doesn't mean that once inside a sponsor site, the sponsor isn't obliged to the same, quite the contrary. If he fails on his side, it's his fault in my book.

Don't worry Zorgman, ask any sponsor rep. here, who want 1000 uniques clicks to their sites, and you will be properly spammed

. i am sure you can find better than PB, that won't be hard, i guess...

I totally agree with you Antxx on all your points, I have moved on and signup with other sponsors and already made sales with them. :D

My future is looking better without PB.

When we see numbers this low, we eventually find out the webmaster is cheating. In this case we didnt find anything so we paid you in FULL.

We told you we would pay you, so I dont see what the problem is here?

just a though but maybe change him to percentage of total sales instead of per signup?

Nah, they just don't want me at all. I can now say the same thing to them.

Lets move on with life.

Did you expect one? No sponsor is going to tell you that are spamming you.

ludwig · 12-20-2003, 04:34 AM

The 'deny everything' mantra from the X-Files hasbecome 'don't respond to anything'.
Seems to work...no?
Well, no spam today, so maybe the questioning did make a difference...until next week that is!

Well I was hoping we would get a "we would never do this" or something similier to that!
Well I guess we just have to keep bumping this to get an answer

pradaboy · 12-20-2003, 09:14 AM

PB is the best... you must be a big fuckup if they cancel you

69pornlinks · 12-20-2003, 09:42 AM

It couldv'e been worse they could have said that you were a cheater(they word against yours) and you gets nothing...just send your traffic somewhere else...

Paul Markham · 12-20-2003, 09:51 AM

I can't see what the problem is.

If they were making a profit off you they would not have closed your account.

It seems to me, companies have to look at it and decided for the traffic being sent, the B/W used, the money paid, they have to show a profit. Simple arithmatics.

myjah · 12-20-2003, 10:11 AM

bad time to happen, but i guess there is no good time for that. at least they are paying you before cutting you off

fusionx · 12-20-2003, 12:08 PM

Now I'm getting work from home spam from the same people..

I'm going to blacklist these pricks in every list I have on record..

Platinum Dave · 12-20-2003, 02:15 PM

Platinum Bucks does not spam our webmasters with credit card ads or any other form of mainstream ads.

If you believe this is the case please email me the spam at [email protected]

I will investigate the situation, we are as concerned as everyone else if our webmaster list has been comprimised. Fraud and theft are a very major issue on the internet today, we do everything we can to prevent this.

Shoot me an or all emails so we can investigate the situation about these mainstream spam emails to some webmasters.

sorry for any harm this may have done, we want to investigate the situation to the fullest with your help.

thank you
