I hate it when sites change their affiliate platforms
 
If it aint broken, why fix it? And they always pretend they are doing it for the affiliates, as if we enjoy having to change all our links and set up new campaign codes and the like.

VR pay sites seem to be the worse for doing this.

VRBCash has changed to UnzipVR. Discovered it on Xbiz, despite sending them over 2,000 sales over the last 6 years.

Concur. And asking affs to reapply is the kicker.

I emailed them a week ago (VRBCash) asking if I needed to sign up again, or whether my account was going to be transferred. Still no reply.

A couple of years ago when I was on the first page of Google for 'best vr porn site', I was getting emails from their rep every week asking why I didn't have them as number one on my list.

I always get a quick reply from Mike on Skype (mike.vrbangers)

I just promote channels through vrporn.com premium, it's way easier and they pay well.

members and stats should be moved to unzipVR, just reset the password from VRB on unzip and you will be fine

That might well be true. I sent him an email and he replied back to me last night, giving me the same info as the previous poster. Yeah, he has always been a good affiliate rep for me in the past too.

Didn't VR Bangers buy out VRPorn.com? I would have thought they would now want to include that site into their new affiliate program, as the present/old affiliate program for VRPorn.com isn't very sophisticated.

I wonder if the motive often is to shave the affiliates? I mean, they know it takes time for many, especially if the affiliate has a network of sites, and some might not even still be updating their sites and not change their links, even if they are still sending sales. They say the affiliate links will stop working, but invariably they will still direct to the sponsor site and make conversions.

I don't think VRBCash are doing this, but I'm sure some of the seedier sponsor programs have done it for that reason in the past.

I remember when Lovehoney sex toy program decided to move to a new program, giving affiliates just a couple of weeks to change links. Obviously, promoting individual sex toys, you will have loads of different links to change, even on one site. The kicker was that it was a month before Christmas, the best time of the year for sales.
