Spotbrokers Bullshit.

As of today, we have lowered our buy and sell prices on Movie traffic, as it is a non-targetted traffic group and as such is not as valuable as more targetted traffic. Check the price sheets for details. "

As of today, we have lowered our buy and sell prices on Hardcore and Ebony traffic in our system. We are always monitoring the quality of the traffic passing through our system and doing our best to maximize your traffic investment. All other traffic is still doing very well for us, so it should do well for you as well with the proper promotion and sponsors! "


Wich is fine... but I go and check thier payout rates and they've lowered the payout FOR ALL NICHES.


It says $6.00 per 10K

am I mistaken or did it used to be $7.00 per 10K ??

Why not mention this in the "news"

Maybe you thought no one would notice. Also my last epassporte payout is 3 days late... don't know how you can be late with electronic payments.


What say you?



P.S. the stats stopped again, you might wanna fix that.

P.P.S. Sometimes when cliking my links I get the same gallery 3-5 times in a row.

maybe it sucks, but its their program ,they can do what they want.

If you object just tell them to GFY and find another PPC TGP Sponsor :)

I thought Jesus already knows these things..

what is the issue exactly?

He's mad that spotbrokers wont convert his traffic to christians, er i mean $7

he's mad because people eat chocolate bunnies at Easter and not him

hollow chocolate bunnies are the shite

hollow chocolate jesus on the cross are mo' better

I've just always wondered why there's no such thing as "Easter Bacon". Finding those eggs would've been so much more fulfilling...

hollow chocolate easter eggs and bacon

:1orglaugh

You can all eat me!


I'm just mad becasue they make it sound like they are just lowering those nich payouts in the news... when in fact they are lowing ALL payouts and lowing the niches they mention twice as much...

Oh well I guess its time for me to goto all the hosted galleries they use... sign up and convert my own damn traffic. BAH! Jesus has better things to do than give his social security to a bunch of websites. :(


P.S. yes, my social security number is 000000001, please do not attempt identity theft... everyone knows what I look like.

A little late here, but we sent out a mailer on april 9th, as well as posting it on our news, also on april 9th. The news addresses both of these issues.

And how come this is our support board? You have a problem, I have an email and an ICQ.

Remember this: Not everyone is out to fuck you.

Did someone mention chocolate?!? :Graucho

Theres no news for the 9th... and there was no mailer. (at least I Never got it)

Ahem... Poeple are out to fuck me, my ass is tight and tastey. Maybe it is your support forum becasue your support link leads to "Under Construction" :glugglug


I brought it to the board becasue I found it a bit deceptive, but I do regret this. I guess I should just check the current prices more often, but seeing as you happend to mention the other nich payouts going down I figured you would mention somthing like all payouts going down...



Heres an exact copy of your news page as it appears right now.

This was more of a vent than somthing I wanted you to do anything about (Besides maybe actually posting the news you claim to have posted)

Hurry up and review my new galleries.

And how can I dole out traffic to certain galleries on a daily basis?

Say I buy 150k hits , but I want to use 15 k per day rather than the whole lot at once?

I have to agree about the part about "how come this is our support board?" It seems every newbie thinks that if you have any problem with anyone or any program or host etc... that gfy is the place to work it out???:eek2

No... GFY is a place to find out what other poeple think about a situation. And I probably make more money than you so you might want to save that noob crap for the counterstrike matches.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

See now that constitutes a bug report. ;>

The internal news page is fuxored for some reason.. Take a look at the external news page.. My bad there.

We did send a mailer, since the only link on it was an unsubscribe link, I got about 5 people mailing me to ask how to resubscribe, as they had accidentally unsubscribed.

But in all seriousness man, I take this program very seriously, and if you think we're doing you, I wanna hear about it - cause that is never our goal. The whole purpose of the across the board price drop was to make some of the more hardened surfer traffic more price-effective for buyers. If the buyers are not happy, then this system dies. Even with the price drop, unless you have a LOT of proxy traffic (norm is 5-15%), you will still make more money with us on average then selling it elsewhere.

Contrary to popular belief, we do NOT profit on buying traffic for hosted galleries. Hosted galleries are stale and the freeloaders have seem them before. They are only there because SOMETHING has to be. We would much rather be selling every single last hit. And the system would be a lot better off for everyone if we had a lot more buyer galleries.

If you really want to make sure that this system is financially viable, then push us - we pay you to do it after all.

Hmm, not really a mechanism in place at the moment other than allocating a little bit at a time, but that kind of screws you in buying the traffic. I didn't think it was really a highly demanded feature, but I can think about something similar if it's needed.. Problem is everyone wants something a little different. ;>

PS - I moved the external news code to the users news code.. My fuckup there, I apologize. Not sure how I missed that.

Cheers,
Backov

:thumbsup



Truly I know you guys arent trying to backstab anyone. Its quite clear in the way you have dealt with me in this thread And I never even stopped to think that you were lowering sale prices.... Becasue of course... the more user submitted galleries the better it is for our TGPs traffic. I guess i overreacted.

:1orglaugh

I sense a disturbance in the Force.

Hey Jesus, go to the admin for your account and make sure the check box for receiving news from us is checked off please. We have had several people accidentally unsubscribe themselves from the mailer recently --

That made me laugh. ;>

It has been unchecked but I resubmitted with the edit info button... maybe that will help. You guys might want to allow users to edit thier e-mail address, It would make things easier. Or set them to peoples epassporte e-mail address, Becasue some spam filters may stopping your mailer.
