Sending traffic to affiliate programs is not worth it
The main reason I started selling traffic over 10 years ago was because of the pain in the ass of actually getting paid for the money I made with a sponsor. Now it's just plain insanity. I only send to a few (mostly dating) sponsors as a affiliate and even these few the chances of actually getting what is MINE is bad. I'm so tired of having to chase sponsors down to get paid. Sick of the excuses, sick of the bullshit.

Whos not paying now?

I didn't make this post to out people who are not paying, but rather to vent my frustrations. Many sponsors are using the epass situation as a excuse to delay payments.
|
Yeah, horrible conversions these days even on SE traffic. I have thought about just selling my traffic to a broker or selling the network all together.

Thanks Tom |
Funny, you mention this. I just had to send off about my 5th email/icq message to a sponsor who owes me almost $500 for a payment I never received and they just totally fucking ignore me. It's been going on for almost a month now. I'm so fucking tired of this shit.

thanks for changing your avatar btw.

Then you have the idiots who switch affiliate backends or processors (i.e. no credit) entirely without even a courtesy note to affiliates. I know of at least 10 personally in the various niches I do and am switching them over this week (PITA). I'd like to track them down and chew them out but instead I'll settle for making sure they never get a single hit again from me. So many crooks and assholes. What ever happened to a true 50/50 partnership? I make you money and you give me my cut. A simple arrangement. It makes me want to find a handful of sponsors willing to do a prepay deal instead...but even then....as you say, will they pay? I think a lot of it is really that these people don't know how to run a business and are only used to easy money. All marketing flash and scams, no traditional old school values or knowledge. Just grab as much money as you can today and be ready to run like some crooked used car salesman... Call me jaded. <sigh> </pissed off> </rant> |
Choker... it's why I sell my traffic too.

dumbest thing i've ever read. get off your high horse.

Just send traffic to CCBill programs and get paid directly by the biller. No problem!
|
Choker let it out! That's what GFY is about.

I wouldn't use any ccbill sponsor unless they had a backup biller for all the declines & they payout on the backup processor. |
Hey Choker, what part of Miami are you in? I'm in the Palmetto Bay area.

i am trying every sponsor. and if some sponsor is not paying, i am simply not pushing it doesnt matter how great sites they have. paying sponsors get all my traffic and i am happy with that :2 cents:
|
how are people paying you for your traffic now that epass is gone?
|
one bro program sent me two useless epass payments after they told me i was switched to check. i think they are trying to dump their epass on affiliates. douche move for a brogram.

It used to be well worth it. People used to get watches, video game consoles and all other kind of stuff as bonus...
Programs were throwing money around those days. |
Our affiliate program pays on time.. thats the main reason I suse CCbill.. I have enough to worry about with making content, adn managing sites.. its so much easier to just not have to worry about paying affiliates on time and I can use all the traffic I can get. Other sites are closing down, but we are expanding...and it's alot to keep up with. makes it worth it to just pay ccbill their fees and not have to think about it.

Becasue when you call someone out on gfy in a fit of anger, and you are unwilling to share information that you dont think should be public.. and have no proof you get banned. Which makes sense becasue alot of assholes here like to go around the boards making trouble. Unfortunately, when someone does screw you over, and you get pissed and say something, they laugh at you while your banned and theyre screwing other people over, that are laughing with them, at you..
On GFY Ive had 2 deals go very BAD I got banned once... for posting about it (without POSTING proof) Which is obviously something that people are not always ready to hand over because its sensitive information and really whos the judge? And in the long run it doesnt fucking matter anyway. :1orglaugh :disgust Quote:

Your own words: "I only send to a few (mostly dating) sponsors as a affiliate and even these few the chances of actually getting what is MINE is bad" If the same thing happens to you over and over again, you should take a look at what the common denominator is - ie: you and your traffic. Or you can continue doing what you are doing now, and blame everyone else for your failures, problems or shortcommings. It's like repeatedly running head first into a wall, and then blame your headache on the guy that put the wall there. |

It takes a lot more than one initial signup before the customer becomes a profitable customer. Maybe you should incorporate some business intelligence into your operation. If this is the level you operate on, I dont expect your datingsite to be a success. Maybe the reason why you and sleazy fought so much, was because you remind eachother of yourself. |

In this case I think your insinuation is even more silly based on the fact that choker, like him or not, isn't some new mystery affiliate who just showed up here a few months ago. Nothing personal and this is all I have to say on the matter. |
