Adult Profit will cease operations as of midnight May 31, 2010.

[in3sting]

Just got this email from them. I stopped promoting them some months ago. This is fucked up, who's next? All my respect for paying their dues before leaving the industry!

It is with deep regret that we make this announcement. The present economic circumstances coupled with significant negative shifts in the adult industry over recent years make it impractical to continue running our affiliate program. The program has not been profitable in a significant time.

All payouts for the month of May 2010 shall be made as usual. However, no affiliate tracking will take place after midnight May 31, 2010 so it will be necessary for you to find a new advertiser.

We would like to personally thank all of our Webmasters for years of hard work and dedication. You made it a great journey for us. We at Adult Profit wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

[Barefootsies]

Sad news.

Another one bites the dust.

[TeenCat]

hm not good ... anyone have some info about payments from them? i hope we will get paid what we have there ...

[TeenCat]

oh crap, now i see, its babylon-x and the rest around? wow, this just wow ...

[SpicyM]

Wow.. these are the guys running Babylon-x?

I remember their galls used to be listed on the top of thehun.com all the time.. the site was protected by AVS (sexkey) at the time if I remember correctly. Then they have converted it into a paysite.

[Caligari]

yes this is Babylon X and Celeb King etc holy shit..... one of the biggies for a long time, the biggest celeb sites for years.

It does make me wonder now how many more sudden notices in the upcoming months.

[Caligari]

hm not good ... anyone have some info about payments from them? i hope we will get paid what we have there ...

They are saying "yes we are tracking until may 31st" so i would think with these guys they will do the final payouts and i am fucking glad i went total pps with them.

its really too bad about them because adult profit was one of the best sponsors from a webmasters perspective. they always got back to me within 24 hours, they made custom banners etc....very good people.

yes thanks now i see the payments info, good for us, and true that adult profit was a nice company, lets hope to see something new from these guys soon

If the adult industry could have a smell, I imagine it would smell much like a public beach porta potty.

are you accepting new affs now? meaning if i take the time to put in my info i will actually get signed up?

[Brujah]

A good time for affiliates to be smarter with their outgoing links. Change them in 1 place in a few seconds rather than hunting down lots of pages and sites. Something like this:

Bloody scammers.

Virtually no notice, and i bet they have been sitting on this news for some time. I hate it when sponsors do this.

Not a lot of notice for sure.

great, i'm quoting myself;)

perfect example- i ask the genius of rehabdollars a question when he is online right after he posts his fucking link on this thread, then he goes offline and never responds...

there is a chance in hell i will promote your sites.

[kmanrox]

[BlackCrayon]

Dude, I know you're in a current state of panic right now due to the downturn but damn man....READ!

[Marcus Aurelius]

why close it down and not just sell the program?

[rogueteens]

why close it down and not just sell the program?

they arn't closing, they are just stopping the affiliate programme

[Dennis69]

why close it down and not just sell the program?

They are pulling a Wegcash... dropping the affiliate programm!

[Brujah]

Does it happen in 3's? Who's next?

[IllTestYourGirls]

Does this have anything to do with the crack down of cross-sales?

[KingpinMedia]

Glad I pulled most of their links months ago too. They couldn't convert at all. Went from 10k a month with them to 1k as conversions went to hell.

However i do have a lot of links i have to switch out from old galleries, etc.

Thanks a lot Adult profit for a day's fucking notice.

[Konkan]

That`s too baad.

[BlackCrayon]

if they are just pulling the affiliate payouts and keep running the sites i think they should be ddosed to hell...

[escorpio]

...and more to come!

thats convenient. use affiliates to build your traffic and then lock them out.

i hate this fucking industry.

[woj]

What's with the short notice? that's bullshit way of doing things... is that even legal?

[Agent 488]

shit. links switched over to wegcash.

thanks for this

[Marcus Aurelius]

are they keeping all the rebills for themselves then?

[Forkbeard]

That's usually what happens in these situations. If they were intending to pay affiliates, they'd say so, eh?

[DateDoc]

I think you will see more companies dump their affiliate programs without shutting down their sites. Just a change in the way the business is going to go.

[FrozenJag]

shit. links switched over to wegcash.

RIP AP.

[Chosen]

Got that email from them as well...

[Dennis69]

are they keeping all the rebills for themselves then?

I would say so if they are keeping there sites active... if nobody could see this coming over the years then you must of had your eyes closed, and I'm not only talking about AP or Wegcash! I would say there will be lots more doing the same in the near future!

The affiliate's are being squeezed out

they underestimate how pissed off this could make affiliates. some could strike back..watch out fuckers!

[Marcus Aurelius]

But we can trust your program, right ?

to a certain extent... more like the affiliate's are the next ones to be thrown off of a sinking ship. First it is the customers they get cc banged and cross saled to death, then they screw the affiliates, nothing left to fuck over... the ship is still sinking regardless. When you piss off your customers and your affiliates how in the world do you expect to turn things around ???

Not talking about this company specifically but all of them going through the same process.

They just grasping at straws... "well if we cut out affiliates we can keep all the rebills" and how long will that last until those rebills cancel?? and there is no new affiliates pumping in new sales. I hope none of them are delusional enough to see this is nothing more than a way for them to grab as much cash as the ship goes down. If they are delusional enough to think they can turn things around on their own they are insane.
