The fraudsters of AdultFriendFinder

thought I will narrate my experience to all so here it is .
These folks basically rip you off.
They let you run their ads till you reach a balance of lets say $50 which is minimum payable. Thats of course after several hundred thousand impressions.
And then when you wonder why you did not get the payment...
boom
they convert your account to another type because of low signups (of course after several months)
In my case they converted balance fo over $62 to $1.29 overnight !!!!!!!
Beware

And what is it exactly that made you think AFF was a good company to do business with?

Maybe it was the copyrighted photos in the fake ads?

Or the ads they run on every illegal downloadsite

or torrent site

or tube site

You got what you deserve pal.....lay down with a fucking dog...don't bitch to me that you have fleas....

why wouldnt you send traffic to something exclusive and unsaturated instead of somewhere that people see all day everyday. if you sent me hundreds of thousands of clicks you'd make a hell of a lot more than 50 bucks, i dont care if its dating traffic or not.

lol.

They have to switch you if you dont convert on that one.

If you stay with the percentage program, they never switch you and it pays better than all the other programs anyway.

Per order is also good - this month it pays $110 PPS which is the best in the industry for PPS.

Of course they are going to convert it at payout time that is when it is checked. The reason your an idiot is you must of seen your traffic quality is shit, ie you couldnt even make sales from 100k's of impressions why didnt you stop sending after say 10k?

It's shit. Anyway in your thread, there is no evidence that AFF is fraud, but there is strong evidence that you are a fucking idiot.

cams and AFF make me the most per click, I seriously can't understand the logic of people sending traffic to BRO's sites instead of AFF?????

I work my ass off to get that traffic and I'm supposed to send it to whatever.com and make 3-4 times less just because they're cool? I know it might sound shocking but I treat the adult business like business, do you seriously think that all other sponsors are angels????

Sending them tens of thousands of hits and making nothing, yeah, right, with AFF I make money, it's not millions but even in the shittiest times AFF kept making me money, can't say that for 90% of the other sponsors I use.

Had that happen to me in about 2001/2002. Lesson learned.

I also had similar experiences with mainstream advertising companies around that time, when it was getting close to payout they'd suddenly decide that my traffic is crap and retroactively convert or deduct payments. I was just starting out with websites so it was very difficult to project income because of this practice.

Quoted for truth.

Just rather stinks that they allow torrents / tubes / stolen content sites to advertise them. I would have thought that would have mostly been cleaned up since the takeover, but doesn't seem to have happened.

So why send it to them or anyone else in the first place if you don't give a damn if it makes you money? Was it a traffic donation? I don't think they need charity.

...and why even complain about the $60 they didn't want to give for your obviously terrible quality traffic if you don't give a damn about making money off hundreds of thousands of uniques. Even my crappiest, bottom of the barrel traffic makes around $300 per 100,000 uniques.

You could have made more than $60 if instead of making this thread, you had spent the ten minutes working on one of your 20 other projects.

Important: if your traffic produces less than 1 FREE signup in 20 visitors your account may be converted into a "percentage payout" account at anytime after you've sent 500 uniques or 3 days. The same is true if it produces less than 1 paying membership in 25 FREE signups. We had to do this to keep sites from cheating or putting our banners in "inappropriate" sites. This has only affected less than 3% of our affiliates who are paid on a cost per click.
Thats in the terms. Like it or not, but you could have known. They have the right to convert your program at any time.

Guess a lot of people see the amazing payouts at first, count themselfs rich, and are sadly dissapointed afterwards. If its to good to be true, it mostly IS.

To be honest, im getting about 400-500 a day from AFF and their cams program each month. Nothing fancy, but enough to satisfy me if a banner wasnt sold flatrate already.
