my sales and rebills with them went down way back in 2011, never recovered from that no matter how much traffic i sent.

And what was the main reason of that?

changes in billing in the first place and general lack of care about affiliates as i heared from an employee over there.

The funny thing about that is I believe I recall the kink.com CEO stating that 2011 was the year they first started seeing declines in revenues. Funny how that worked out.

But because of piracy and an explosion of free sites, the heyday is over. Global revenue plummeted by 50 percent from 2007 to 2011, the porn industry trade group Free Speech Coalition estimated last year. Kink.com saw a decline in revenue for the first time in 2011.

They dont have anything new.

make some sales with our new creative site www.helplessteens.com

RyuLion 03-12-2015 04:16 PM

Their ratio failed about 5 years ago for me that's why I moved on..

It's all over the tubes, torrent sites, filelockers, you name it...kink's stuff is available for free just about everywhere. Their content is also the same (like one guy already stated on this thread)...very little seems to ever change, people see the same shit and they move on.

bluebook18 03-12-2015 06:46 PM

well that sucks..

Captain Kawaii 03-12-2015 07:10 PM

I was looking at the OP's site. Great concept if it was pics only. But every sponsor I saw on there died for us a long time ago. Over-saturated, everywhere and why buy the cow when you can milk it for free?

femdomdestiny 03-12-2015 07:36 PM

most of their content is available on torrents and they don't care

seksi 03-13-2015 08:00 AM

Some kink video ads started to fail to be served this month. Looks like they are still down. Maybe that's the cause in a sudden recent drop in your ratio?

Barkley 03-16-2015 01:01 PM

1:356 ....

bns666 03-16-2015 04:49 PM

too bad about it, they were top notch bondage sponsor in the 2000s...

Cyberghost 03-21-2015 10:31 AM

I have the Kinky Dollars advertising also terminated.
For my traffic Kinky Dollars is theoretically perfect. But the program runs very very bad on my pages.

fly:admin 04-14-2015 02:45 AM

The ratio falls when the kinks moved to new beta site in march.

Please clear:

2. Why don't you use nats for counting traffic, how can we be sure that the visitors will have our affiliate id in their cookies ?

Probably fix an issue ASAP.

In 2015 sales on kinkydollars down to zero... ratio sucks.

HowlingWulf 04-14-2015 07:09 AM

Same as everyone else - 2011 things started going downhill.

fly:admin 04-17-2015 04:59 AM

can anyone know how to quickly reach kink management. Seems like they are ignoring my messages in the ticket board. thanks

Cameltoepro 04-17-2015 07:40 AM

I was thinking about promoting them with a new fetish domain I bought.I promoted them in the past. Went to the hosted galleirs and found missing banners and links going to a "oops page" that wants to redirect you else were. Also some sites tools not updated in a few years..Its sad. I really wanted to promote them right way this time..I really liked their content..So time to look else were.

Samurai 04-17-2015 09:31 AM

Two reasons: the tubes, torrent sites and the lack of new fresh content, the old content was way better! And time has changed: BDSM is nothing special anymore, every suburban mom does it at home all day long... (ahh.. now I got some idea for a new site). But I have to say for me Kinkydollars is one if the most honest companies. I am with them since 2003 and they never cheated or shaved me. One year I was very ill and I could not receive their checks. The year after I simply wrote them and they did send me all my cash again without hesitation or bla bla! I worked with other where I had to beg every month for my cash or had to show a pumpgun :1orglaugh to get their attention.

nikki99 04-17-2015 11:38 AM

yes down :(

fly:admin 06-19-2015 06:55 AM

Hey! They have wrote me that the problem due to moving kink network to a new platform, and kinky dollars will be moved to a new platform Kinky Dollars as well. So the traffic currently allocating among two platforms, and it brings such problems, i don't know when they will complete this issue but it lasts for about 4 months already. Let me know if you have more information.

DMXXX 11-30-2016 03:24 PM

Who knows what are the signups for 1.59 in beta?

1 year - $26.67\mo. (one payment of 319/99) subscription $1.59

They have a bug with some payouts. Your $1.59 should be $159, they put the decimal to 2 spots to the left. You should email them. Allot of people have this problem.

I think they should be aware of this issue if this bug concerns the whole system.

Jesse1984 11-30-2016 05:26 PM

Hey guys, I work for kink [I used to work for Famedollars, hence the name] and I can confirm this is only a display error in our system. He is correct that the decimal point is just two places off, it's a bug and we're working to fix it as quickly as possible. Your money and payments will be correct.

If you have any questions you can contact myself or Carla our affiliate manager directly. We hope to have this fixed by the end of the week.

Thanks Jesse!

While you're working on changing the display, would you mind adding a tiny something?
In the detailed stats ( KinkyDollars ), it would be very helpful to have hour:minute:seconds displayed in the date column for the signups, not just the day.

Also I'm curious now that you're working for Kink does that mean you guys have the resources to address broken affiliate links dating from the migration to the new platform? I put in a bunch of tickets about them and other issues stemming from the migration in early September but nobody responded and when I pressed Carla about them she said there just weren't sufficient resources available to fix the broken links or even to talk to me about when they might be fixed. It was a very disappointing response and the links are still broken and my questions about the migration not answered. Hoping your presence here on the board indicates that the resource crunch she cited as her reason might have relaxed?

Some of the details are in this thread and I assume my unanswered tickets are still in the ticket system. If not I have the original ticket emails I could provide.

I was just about to write to you concerning the bizarre amounts $0.13, 0.19 and so on but obviously you know for the problem.

I'll create a ticket about that, but it may not get done until early next year as we only have two sprints left until the holiday break so it's pretty packed. But it should be easy enough!

same here, cant remember when the last time was when the payments went after 10th..

JesseKink, could you please let us know when we finally get them?

bns666 12-12-2016 02:30 PM

anyone still making any decent monies with kinkydollars.com?

BigFurry 12-12-2016 06:33 PM

Well the wrong commission values are still not fixed. ($0.17 instead of $17, etc).

Maybe that's why the payments are delayed - just guessing.

TeenCat 12-12-2016 07:48 PM

i just did not understood, why they offered all the vr for free? vr is now refresh for all the niches, and they just did few shots for free, or am i wrong? they were one of the first it not the first, and the train just left the station without them on it ... :2 cents:

DMXXX 12-13-2016 12:30 PM

So, is it a delay with payments for November?

Jesse1984 12-13-2016 03:06 PM

Hey guys, just saw this.

We were fixing two issues prior to sending out payments for November which have subsequently been fixed, we had planned to send them out on the 5th. However our accounting woman has been ill literally for a week and is the only one that can process these payments.

Yes, I know this isn't the best system, we're working on a failsafe so this doesn't happen again of course. That being said, I've heard word that come hell or high water payments will go out tomorrow both electronic and physical checks.

It's the holidays and I know it's not convenient, but you've got our apologies for what it's worth and we're working on a ton of improvements to the beta.kinkydollars admin for you guys, it's one of my top priorities.

All this being said, if you have any emergencies you can e-mail me directly. [I can't rush your checks out to you but if you have tracking issues or payment discrepancies I can help there] and any other bug reporting can come to me or Carla as well.

Thanks for understanding.

The VR product was given away for free to test, gauge interest, and work out the kinks. We will be sending out news on actual VR products very soon, trust me, we didn't miss the train out of the station haha.

We sell a unique product and it comes with it's on challenge to keep the VR both on brand and in line with the fetish aspects our users expect. Keep your eyes peeled.

This should be fixed by EOW, it's just a display issue and we're finishing up the script that's going to fix this.
