Run your own program for a while and then you'll realize where you are wrong.

Like DWB said, affiliates are are serious about making money with a good program aren't going to let something like manual approval and human interaction stop them from doing so. In general, the one's who have a problem with it are the ones who spend more time crying on messages boards than they do working to make money.

I'm not going to apologize to anyone for choosing to run my program how I want. I'm not going to sit around kissing ass hoping some loud mouth troll on a board will promote my program. There is a reason that our company has only ever had a problem with a single individual over the past 6 years.. and that individual is a mental case and wasn't an affiliate anyway.

And that's simply the bottom line. I have enough faith in my brand that I don't need to go kissing ass and begging to make money. Like I said twice now, we have more than doubled our bottom line in 2011 from 2010. And we're already off to a great start in 2012. Our active affiliates... those guys who actually make money, are happy with our program... and our top affiliates will be even happier in 2 months time when we release our new site to them.

Here's a simple suggestion. If you don't want to wait, go promote a lesser program. Then when you realize that they aren't converting, we'll be here.

I think you misunderstood Warchild. He waits but plans accordingly.

:1orglaugh What happened to that guy anyway?

This pic would make his elbow twitch.

1 year here :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

just a thought -

they may want to check your not a surfer signing up trying to access the free content which if you were, could be a lost sale.
Thats the only thing I can think off.

I think bangbros enabled an approval when surfers were signing up like one a minute to access the free content area of the website because this tactic hit the forums.

Yeah, I did lol.. that's what I get fro skimming through. My bad WarChild.

You should learn to spell before trying to put other people down, asshat.

How is a join form going to stop that. And that lost sale is worth more than 300 lost sales?

cant be much of a "project" if you cant wait 24hrs for approval. Then its not a project but a impulse.

At least 300 surfers need to sign up to justify not auto approving me. And that's just me. 1 webmaster.

And still how is a not auto approving gonna stop that. I can sign up to 10 sponsors now with a fake name and fake site and have by access by tomorrow.

I know you're sad idiot who is just here to bash me but let me explain it to you.
I'm working on a huge blog network. Actually people are doing it for me and the details for a good bunch of blogs went to one of the guys working on it this afternoon. Last moment i changed my mind about a tranny sponsor and i needed something else quick. As the mail was ready to go out. And i for sure wasn't gonna check my mail every 10 mins to see if i was approved.

Must suck right that i can do a project like this inbetween posting here on gfy and all you can do is look like a broke ass idiot who is trying to bash me and keeps on failing.

So what's your next shot? Be quick because i'm ready to log off.

hmm not sure, some programs i know require a real email address from a porn website rather than a free email account, obviously a surfer couldn't therefore verify and get access. Not sure about island dollars.

In the website field they may look at the url, then run a whois and see if it matches the data from the signup form.

Again im sure the majority of sites who do ask for approval dont so it for this reason and dont go as far to verify and im not sure on any other reasons

but its a thought.

trust me i hate it too. running a review site, you have hundreds of sign up forms to go through and its a pain when you want to grab a link and you have to wait. Especially the year for digital playground :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Nowadays i never use a domain email anymore. I use gmail or yahoo.com. Unless they specifically ask for it.

I bet i got Islanddollars 10 new affiliates today. These type of threads are usually very good for business.

another reason i know that mainstream sites verify is because they want to know your traffic sources before you send them a hit so you don't damage their "brand"

My mortgage is paid by my spur of the moment ideas.

if you dont know me, dont judge me.

Or so they can steal your traffic if it is possible and cut you out.

oh here i am finaly

Oh right. You can come in my threads and give me shit but i'm not allowed to judge you :1orglaugh
Idiot.

I understand why it is often done. For instance there is a difference between letting a scammer in and stopping him at the door. If you show him that his account was never approved the chances are slight that he will send fraudulent signups which will chargeback. But if you let him in even for a minute then he might use that time to send them and you get stuck holding the bag

But the problem is that after a while affiliates get sick of wasting time having to chase sponsors doing the manual activation. If you require it at least take care of it once a day on weekdays. Also we get sick of all the BS restrictions, some of which you never declare. For instance some just silently ignore webmasters from certain countries. Others ignore gmail or yahoo addresses. Others ignore PO Boxes. If it's not one thing it's another. We just get tired of it. All the little games and bullshit grow tiring.

It's best to use some common sense. If the email address matches the whois and you do a search on the boards and find that the affiliate has been in the industry since 2002 then chances are they aren't trying to scam you.

IslandDollars are great guys! :thumbsup

the man needed his links asap...24 hr approval isnt asap and sometimes 24hrs becomes 24day and so on.

auto approve then check within 24hrs is a better policy imo.

Marty is a great guy................ this is one useless trash thread!

Dirty F, I have no clue who you are, but I know that I would never do any kind of business with someone like you!

It is not complicated at all.

Manual approval is a very effective way to stop scammers before they even begin sending carded sales to you.

It is much more efficient to stop a problem before it begins rather than clean up the mess afterwards.

These guys often create the accounts and then come back to them and play their games months after creation. Does it stop them ? No. Does it make it easier for the program owner to deal with their bullshit ? Yes.

Ironically it is the programs with manual approval that you should be promoting.

i think you are talking BS... if you really build a network without checking let a lone signing up to the sponsors you want to promote you have no idea what y're doing

Good luck with your site's anyway


Trouwens.. Je moest eens weten hoeveel grote nederlandse affiliates er in de shemales zitten... dit soort threads doen je geen goed ;)

Man I feel you on this, it can really suck when it comes to the manual approval stuff. Most sponsors approve you pretty quickly but I've signed up with some that don't reply for a week or so.

I understand why they do it and I have no problem with it so long as they get in touch with you or approve you with in a reasonable amount of time.

He's a moron who's been trolling for 10+ years and is trying to pretend he's someone because he has a high post count. A simpleton attention whore who wants us all to believe that he has huge projects going on that'll make us thousands a year... forget that he can't even plan ahead more than 30 seconds... he's a "real" pro...

In reality, he probably just wanted free content to jerk off to, and got upset that his "join an affiliate program" method for free porn didn't work out.

Cant please every affiliate!

Oh well :2 cents:

:321GFY:thumbsup:1orglaugh

some mainstream affiliate programs/networks require phone calls to verify you are who you say you are. instant approval or waiting a day or two isnt a big deal. a bit annoying when you found a new site to promote but hardly end of the world. if itll convert its worth waiting a few days for....

Want wat heb ik met Nederlandse affiliates te maken ook alweer?

Lol, this board never fails to amaze me.

A guy that has been a member here for over 10 years, so supposedly working in the online adult industry for all this time, who doesn't understand why affiliate programs have an approval process....

Owner of IslandDollars is cool as fuck. Had beers with him in real life. If you love great conversions and rebills like a crazy mofo, then I think you should get pass the manual approval episode. Is only a smart thing to do. Don't worry about the lost of 10000 of sales with your "guestimation".

Is like a small groceries store wanting to sell Coca Cola and got annoyed when asked to provide sales projection. I think Coca Cola can say GFY and sell Cock Cola as you wish.

But in this context, the owners of Island Dollars has been really cool and not making any comments. I think for the asian ladyboy niche, they some how are at the status of Coca Cola but still doesn't act like a big shot.

Kudos to Island Dollars. This is the reason why they are successful! Not only have great contents but really savvy in handling their programs.

Cheers!

You're right. I'm just a troll. A troll who could've put a minimum of 10k in their pockets over the next to year. But apparantly that is not important for big players like you. You rather miss out on 50 people like me a year than auto approve people. Btw when the fuck are you gonna explain me how much damage a scammer can do in 24 hours and how a signup form is gonna stop that. You STILL failed to do so.

Sure you could. Given your extensive knowledge displayed so far in this thread, I'd wager against you being able to put 10k in your own pocket over the past 10 years in this industry.

Ah the good old i had beers with him so you must be wrong and a troll. I expected that one way earlier already.
