Finally. I guess some pretty big players did indeed pull their links.

Now just for chrome to be unbanned and witness that he indeed did get the last x months check, since checks tend to be lost in mail.

We should start the Webmaster Syndicate and get all the scammers, shavers and the likes out there!

I'm very glad you guys did the right thing in the end .. I had a feeling you would .. Just wish it didn't have to go so far .. Good Job VS

thank god this is finished

LOL Thats Awesome

Ha, not only get them out there but make them feel the consequences of their actions. I can see a lot of interest amoung affiliates for a group where all members agree to pull links when any one of the other members is able to prove to the group that they were wronged in some way. If anyone knows of such a group or wants to start one, show me where to signup!

This was a no brainer from the beginning. Its almost more unbelievable how long it took them to come to this resolution and considering Brad's earlier responses.

I'm glad they did the right thing, but man...

This much is definitely true, but I'm sorry, after the initial responses in the first thread this comes off as nothing more than self preservation.

JFK, I totally agree. :thumbsup Looking forward to seeing Tim and Eddie in Vegas, you guys rock! J

There has always been a webmasters sydicate. :)

You need to invest in some legal advice since your moral compass is clearly lacking.

Positive outcome is positive outcome..congrats to chrome and kudos to videosecrets for coming around and doing the right thing.

One thing, Brad - "While we will continue to hope that sending an affiliate thousands of dollars a month warrants continued promotion" is pretty lame. The guy didn't quit YOU he quit the business altogether. All of your affiliates can NEVER leave the biz? And where is the love for HIM sending YOU the thousands of dollars a month biz that you got? This whole affiliate marketing concept is a two-way street. :2 cents:

Anyway, the important thing is you stepped up - which was likely very hard to do considering the public beating, so VS deserves positive comments now just like they deserved the negative ones before. Credit where due, etc..

well worded .. polite and to the point .... I truly believe this was exactly the right thing of chrome to do by originally posting it in GFY .. thats is why webmaster forums were created ..talk about what products are selling who is/was shaving ..programs that are having issues and even possibly how to help out another person we do business with ..and of course public discussion on what ever else we do in this business .. the end result will be good for both parties concerned ....Decent call VS now its settled it will be all but forgotten in a week .. and of course .. .. BEERS ON CHROME..!!! cheers ..

Thank you Jerry, I am looking forward to some time outside of the office myself:thumbsup

As funny as that graph is, affiliates don't link to videosecrets.com, the linkcodes are direct to their cam sites such as flirt4free.com.

SIG SPOT!!! Please take careful notice of my important sig... Thanks

See this is what I don't get.

You people are the only people who seem to think this way. It's incorrect in both logic and practice.

You're sending the affiliate thousands of dollars a month because he sent you a customer that is spending thousands of dollars a month. It's a commissioned based partnership for the duration of the active customer.

Thats the whole idea behind lifetime revshare.

There should't be a "blackmail" clause forcing an affilate to continue sending traffic in order to get paid for commissions already earned.


You marketed your program to webmasters as "lifetime revshare". I've consluted with all the revshare based programs that send me money and they have all confirmed that "lifetime" means the life of the active consumer regardless of traffic that I may or may not send in the future.

With that I'm happy to see that VS has decided to honor it's side of the bargain.

I agree.

You'd expect to see the traffic to videosecrets.com increase and the traffic to it's paysites decrease.

We will have to get a golf foursome together in LA, I think NetBilling Mitch is down, Definately in Vegas.

Nice avatar, it's rough being you...:thumbsup... J

Yup flirt4free.com's traffic has actually been way up this week lol.

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...flirt4free.com

It's true, although all joins go through billing.vs.com and there has been a decline as well according to Alexa.

You make that Alien? I'm impressed!

We'll have to wait a few days to see if alexa reflects anything.

1) It's currently reflecting up to June 15th

2) Alexa isn't very accurate

Good job, that is impressive...:thumbsup

Yes:) On the business side I do way better, I try not to be the guy I am on the boards and try and keep everything professional:) Ask around I am not always an asshole:thumbsup

I help where I can.

i am glad vs finally did the right thing... it would have been nice to apologize to chrome for some of the remarks, but at least he got his money...

in an industry that has so much backstabbing, stealing, etc.. its nice to see people come together to do something positive for someone else..

you have got to be fucking kidding me

good to see a peaceful outcome and its all been resolved.

that very well may have been a fatal decision for VS

Way to backpeddle. That traffic drop had to hurt.

I love seeing all the ass-kissers come out now too.

Oh seriously fuck you ya little flip flopping bleeding hemroid on the ass of the industry.

I trust Greg and Chuck and Brad and the whole team at VS.

A positive move would be to invite all of you to the mansion in December. Hopefully, I will see you there.

nice move, but it shouldnt have come to this

That's really awesome of VS!

Nice!

Nice to see a positive resolution to all of this... :thumbsup

ADG

Congrats on doing the right thing.

lol @ everyone who was bagging them out changing there minds so quickly..... Fact is if this guy didn't bring it to gfy he would of been told to fuck off......

They would of changed nothing and we wouldn't of been the wiser....

This is good news.
