Regarding all the surfers on gfy - Blame the sponsors and their stupid contests
 

See topic title

Sponsors have two options on this messageboard when starting a contest. Attract webmasters or give away money to surfers. For some very, very odd reason they always seem to choose the 2nd option.

No contests should be allowed that simply require you to post. They should ALL have something to do with sending sales or something.

I fucking HATE it when I agree with you.

And it happens every fucking day.

Does kinda seem to be happening more frequently. :eek7

Id say if you give away prizes make sure they are webmaster prizes like gallery spots, partner passes and stuff like that. Not only will you attract webmasters to your contest but as a sponsor you will also benefit from it since you will get signups from those gallery spots obviously.

But no, that doesnt make sense. Let's instead give away 1000's to underaged surfers who dont own a single site.

I agree. I can buy my own fucking X-Box.


They REALLY should re evaluate the contest rules.

Contest are to keep a topic on the front page so that everyone can see what it is so for instance we are AWARDING our affilaites with $105 PPS and $50 PPS plus multi site bonus a Ferrari and Playboy mansion Tickets. We pay $$ so that everyone knows we are doing this the contest on the board are not for webmasters theya re to keep the thread on the front page for as long as possible. So get to sending me all your traffic Get paid CRAZY $$ and get a chence to win a Ferrari or some cash, plus mayby eget a ticket to Playboy Mansion with me :)

Love connection?

You can do that with webmasters as well. There are plenty of them on gfy. I dont see why you want to rewards surfers with money.

I am a webmaster and unlike those surfer idiots i can send joins and traffic but you know what, i totally avoid those contests threads and usually the sponsor as well.

well, you're making some sense, but.... not much

because you say you're not going to waste time and power post in a contest so that you make post no 300 and win $50. Fair point.

But at the same time you suggest that contests shuld include webmaster prizes.... so would you power-post in a contest thread only to win a stupid submit pass ( probably worth also $50 or so )

Not a stupid submit pass. But the right webmaster prize, yes i will post. Give me a spot on worldsex or the hun or 3 month submit pass to video-post stuff like that. Hell yeah, i love prizes like that, i would post.

Yes well a webmaster who makes $10K a month would not post in a contest thread. If you want to post 20 times a day for a chance to win $100 in gallery spot if there are even any that cheap then i will glady start a contest like that but I guarantee you it will not even hit 1000 posts.

See thread with no contest

Too expensie I can pay basically .10 cents a post and get the results I want. And I already pay more than any other company on the adult space so i figure I must be incentivising affilaites pretty well.

No real webmaster would post thousand of times in a thread (and keep it on the first page for weeks).

ok yeah, I agree, webmaster prizes could be better, but they'd have to be worth something

if not, personally i'd rather get $50 cash than 1 free month of some virtual hosting package worth $90, but with no real use for me

Well whatever man...just keep giving your money away to people who will never send you a hit. I know i wouldnt. Even if i could get pageviews by doing so.

GFY administration should ban these stupid "contest" threads and sell 'Sticky' instead.

Well, its not like those threads HAVE to be here. Id say simply find another way to advertise your stuff. Just stop giving away money to surfers.

I do contest because they work when they stop working ( Working means making me money) then I will stop contest :)

I feel our webmasters are Already getting a crazy deal making more money with us than any other program !!

For instance. Good point.

You are missing the point. Lars doesn't care about peons who post in his threads. All he wants is to see his companys name at the top of the board for a few weeks.

Gotta blame it on something

Gotta blame it on something

Blame it on the rain (rain)

Blame it on the stars (stars)

Whatever you do don't put the blame on you

Blame it on the rain yeah yeah

You can blame it on the rain

Makes you stop and think really what the " anti-post whoars" are really complaining about...

btw im not having a go at people are never complain at post whoars, just people like franck. Look in your own backyard before you look at others 0.02

I would spend a few $1000 a month to just have 2 permanant stickys on the front page :) in fact i would gladly exchange my Banner ads in favor of permanent Stickys :) And would not run any more contest then :)

oh add 12,062 from michael there.

129831.

wow!

I know man, i know what he means. Thats the difference between him and me. I wouldnt give away money to people who wont ever send me a hit. Even if that means i would get pageviews.

say what ?

Thanks :) That is it exactly

Fuck off, this thread is for webmasters.

I hope Lensman reads this.

Yes but these people have been on GFY for 6-7 years.

So your point is mute, dickshit.

But if paying people to post gets you more affialites and more money you wouldnt spendd the money to make a lot more ??


personally I love spending $1000 and making $10000 return to me thats an awesome investment and I would do it every waking moment of my life :)

surfers click every link on an adult site then see the webmaster link down at the bottom of the page. on that webmaster page is links to gfy and other webmaster boards and resources.
that is how they find their way here.
don't bitch about what you have created.

I have to agree with you guys.. this is fuckin webmasters board ! not surfers or porn users!

Are you talking to me? I never linked gfy anywhere.

you would get sick of the entire first page of the board being a sticky as every sponsor would buy one :)

Any easy way to appease both sides is to either a) require x amount of valid incoming adult traffic to the program before the prize is paid, or b) require signups in the affiliate account before payment.

Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure it would be limited. And after a week someone else can get your link.

may not be your sites but plenty of others have.

your a hippocrit franck everyone knows it like fuck do the majority of your 30k posts have anything to do with business and webmastry :upsidedow

http://www.gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/658474-wanna-buy-2-stickys-month.html


I did already try to buy stikies :) So I was alrready thinking about this.

but it would not be interesting to me unless I owned it for the whole month.

you two are getting cuter and cuter! :liebe028:

I have to agree with the fuckhead DJ here.


Look at Maddawgz and Squishys post counts. Think about how little time they did that in. Then think about how neither one of them have sent a click to ANY program, EVER.

That's a fucking JOKE.

That is correct, the next SatanCash contest will be for webmasters sending sales only

6-7 years ago... hmm that would be 1999-2000. good point :thumbsup


and since when have there been cause for some to post 10k+ business threads. People come to gfy to chat not to business. and franck is one of the main people trying to ban people when he himself is at fault.

I am just saying :)

They would sell only 1-2 spots at a time.
Others would have to wait in line.

If the "contest" threads were banned, sponsors would be forced to buy Stikies, and GFY could dictate the price (because sponsors would still buy them).

And it happens every fucking day.
Yup, Germans love the poo.
:1orglaugh
:thumbsup
At least one person got the joke.
Awesome!

I think GFY likes contest they keep the board active and an active board is a profitable board.
