Can't remember the name but judging from sent emails in the past that I never got a response to, Fabian Jansen.

Sent emails now to Brandon Ente and Jay Davis, no replies yet.

So here is an update.

1. The company is run by utter morons.

2. They said my traffic was fraud because (now here comes the funniest part) "the usernames seem fraudulent" + some other GEO bullshit excuses.

So the reason for ban: instead of using JohnSmith as their username, people are signing up with names like MonsterDick5.

3. I asked them about the CHARGEBACK RATES (I am on revshare btw, not pps) and guess what? Ignored. That tells all you need to know.

4. Half of my joins were from 5 or 8 years ago, and suddenly everything is "fraudulent" post payout reach.

Here are more people with same issues:

If I have no issues with adult friend finder and other dating sponsors (because 99% of my traffic is organic), this it is not the traffic that sucks, it is your shit site that attracts shit signups (that i don't get paid for anyway), and / or Dating Gold is scam.

For people considering the site, run away and promote something that actually pays instead of taking a gamble on your earnings.

FUCK!

So if that´s true it´s a big warning for every webmaster.

A statement from sponsor "DATING GOLD" would be nice!

This is unfortunate.

I did not manage this account, and reached out after this thread was started to try and clear things up and found that it was flagged for fraudulent traffic. I was completely transparent and sent the exact traffic report showing sign ups from the past month, and explained why it was flagged.

We always pay out on legimate traffic. We have been in business for 15 years, have many partners we actively work with on this forum, and take pride in our reputation as industry veterans.

poncabare 06-17-2018 08:18 PM

Legit for sure

In 2010, Deniro Marketing found itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit that alleged the company employed spammers to promote an online dating service that was overrun with automated, fake profiles of young women. Those allegations ended in an undisclosed settlement after the judge in the case tossed out the spamming claim because the statute of limitations on those charges had expired. Story here.

From August 2013 "When asked what one of the worse problems in the industry was, he told us “Right now, I’d say the worst are the fake (adult) dating websites. Not only do the spams have misleading subject lines, sent from fake names & email addresses, etc., but the entire business models are fraudulent because the databases are full of profiles of FAKE women (and paid employees of the spammer) who string along lonely men at $30 to month. Deniro Marketing LLC dba AmateurMatch.com is one of the worst in this area. I’ve beaten them in 7 small claims trials (4 lawsuits + 3 appeals) — never enough at a time to go into superior court.”

MOST definitely one of the most legit companies out there with I would say one of the best dating products as well. If you send just to hit the min payout, that is a flag right there. I know i've seen it in action and then eyes will be on the account. I'm sure you have more red flags you're not letting on but regardless, the 10's of millions paid out every single year show they are more than legit.

I got 20 million payout the last 20 years... Is that count too :1orglaugh and make me Legit ?

You sound like that Other retard Poncabare the Lying Bitch :1orglaugh

I stop promotion all dating programmes where you can find an all "fantasy" profiles.
I simply move all my traffic to Adult Friend Finder . Less refund. long time user where they meet a real girl = longer profit. Is a wasting of time to promote not-real dating programs.

sooner or later everyone who bases their income on rev-share will understand it.

Klen 07-22-2018 08:31 AM

Dating gold is legit company, but this is curse of dating vertical - any dating company to which you send leads can claim how your leads are bad. It's all about match, meaning source A can work good on sponsor A but bad on sponsor B, but that does not mean how source A is bad traffic source.

incredibleworkethic 07-22-2018 08:52 AM

It's hard for me to speculate on your quality of traffic, it's not my main area of expertise.

If you aren't satisfied with their response, you'll want to switch your traffic to somewhere else. ALT/AFF are a great program that have continually paid me on weekly basis.

It sucks if your traffic is legit though, I can see the frustration. Take it somewhere else then if you can't come to a resolution.

The only issue I see with this thread is that you're using revshare and not PPS. Revshare typically means everyone wins. I could see them being pissed if you send bad leads to PPS and they only stayed a member for a month. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

celandina 07-22-2018 12:15 PM

Can you spell " Ashely Madison" :1orglaugh

itx 07-22-2018 07:21 PM

I stopped promoting years ago because of their shady tactics, send your traffic to more legit sponsors. :2 cents:

GAMEFINEST 07-22-2018 08:48 PM

I don't promote them either

Agreed. Unless its a high CB rate attached, then the merchant definitely will lose with their CB % rising to levels that could cause them to lose a MID. That is why the OP asked them about the CB's on his joins. He says they never responded to that question. But that would be the key question on a revshare account.

CB's take time as well, so if suspected fraud is in place, you might withhold payment to allow time to pass and ensure those accounts didn't end up charging back post payment. Which some credit card scammer do. Sign up, spread sales around, wait for payment, and then the owners of the cards see the charges and chargeback. Even if on revshare, that is still a good chunk of money right out of the owners pocket.

If we find ourselves in doubt with an affiliate like this however, we will also tell them exactly what we are concerned about. Mostly why, without giving up all the flags in case that helps them defeat it, and tell them after X time, if all is clear and the CB rates fall in line with our regular rates, payment will be sent and resume regular schedule unless we see a spike after.

I can only speak on Revshare and how we do it, as we've never offered PPS.

Careful, you are more or less describing the dating vertical as a whole.
