Dungeonbank - problems
 

Check if they paid you for May.

Actually they didnt.

Ogre's ICQ is dead.

Any suggestions?

Bump for replies.

I'd also like to know if everything is fine with Ogre and his program. Have a lot of promo made for his sites..

Ogre, tell us something

I got used to 2 months late payments from DB so I guess the check for May will come soon.

It would be shitty to see this program going down since there is less and less to promote in BDSM/Bondage niches...

But this delay is too long... even for Ogre.

Hope the program is ok, its one of the few good bdsm programs.

I hope to hear that everything is fine and the DB is and will continue working with the affiliates as they always did...

any news from Ogre?

Haven't heard anything yet, I have tried his ICQ and email. Anyone else have any news on this?

bump for ogre and dungeonbank

Bump for answers.

???????????????????????????????

Has anyone heard anything yet?

i would also like to know...

looks like I will have to remove some more links from my sites...

they never respond

Let's not jump to any conclusions, there was a weekend so maybe they were out of their offices or something...

I e-mailed him also but still no reply...

Another one bites the dust...

CCbill
 

Why don't you promote them through CCbill?

because there's no option for that on any of DB sites except societysm.com and its easier to promote them all through nats with fhgs etc...

That's exactly result when you are messing with NATS sites. There were many programs I was using in my niche with same problem, and always had "independent" billing system. CCbill rules. It took several years for me to understand that but no more stress regarding payment.

Until god forbid one day CCBill goes out of business and ALL of your income dies at once.

Putting all of your eggs in one basket and making your entire business dependent upon one company is probably the most idiotic business decision one can make.

I'm not saying you should only use NATS programs. There are other 3rd party systems out there. There are people who run their own software. I'm simply saying you should spread your risk around. You should be promoting NATS programs, CCBill programs, MPA programs, Epoch programs, independent programs, etc.

Companies go out of business. The fantasy that programs running on CCBill never go out of business is laughable. It would be a fantastic world if every company stayed in business forever, but that's quite delusional. The % of affiliate programs disappearing is a very small % and in this economy it's not surprising to see some not make it.

It has always happened, it will always happen. Spread your risk around.

Well, fuck I guess it's time to pull my links.

ccbill
 

Are you sure in what you wrote if you consider that I am promoting one niche.(hard to find good and updated websites).I am not talking about NATS precisely,I am talking about any kind of similar software that will leave payment on sponsor.In past several years I was only screwed for money with programs using software like this and that is simple fact and I can write complete list of them. I never had problems with CCbill and there are still websites not updated anymore with ccbill that are making sales and I am actually getting that money. That's a huge difference for me. Once I've removed almost all programs not using CCbill (or Verotel because I also promote verotel sites which means I am not putting all eggs in one basket), my revenue is much more stable and I have better conversion ratios then before. There are few programs left that I am promoting that are using NATS but it is because of my personal relationship with owners that will send me money when I ask on my epassporte, even without need to wait for break amount(or it happened that something went wrong and there were no sales, but guys send me money regarding my average conversion rate). When I was promoting sites using software we are talking about, there was always some money waiting on dozen accounts that I need to take care and wait and no one from those sponsors didn't had enough websites in my niches so I can give massive push what made me always waiting for sales and loosing too much time on accounting and checking.

looks like that is the only reasonable thing to do...

Bump... I got my GFY account activated just to come here and ask what is happening with DB. Payment is about 4 weeks late, which as others have said is longer than their usual late payments.

I've got a good domain with decent SE ranks that is 90% dungeon bank related... and I just don't think there are any other sponsors that have a site dedicated to what I'm ranked for. That is why I didn't give up on them long ago. It's not a huge amount of money that I'm owed but I still hate shit like this.

BTW, I saw him on ICQ about a week ago but no sign of him since.

time to remove their links, fuck, this summer is too hot for affiliates :(

If anyone knows a site that is similar to the "Smothered Slave" site from DungeonBank then I'd be interested to know about it. Things aren't looking good for DB... they are always late but this is too much.

They aren't answering email or ICQs or paying what they owe, a simple statement is too much to ask?

exactly :2 cents:

Bumpity bump.

Anyone managed to contact DB yet?

no... and they have not shown up around here either...

it would be nice to hear some good news from db no doubt ...

Just got a reply to one of my emails. Check the news section at dungeonbank to see what I was told. I hope it's legit.
