              I remember something like this happened with Dirty Dollar a while back. Course the files weren't on their server in this instance. In the end, it was some rogue employee from what they said.

                Even more than the webmasters, I feel bad for the customers. Now their names and email addresses are floating around attatched to "shemale" and "grannies" sites. We have a hard enough time getting people to get out their credit cards without punishing them with public humiliation.

                              Very, very disturbing! It's something you've always wondered about.
                              Like looking up at the sky and seeing that it's blue and someone keeps telling you it is red - over and over and over again.
                              After awhile, you start believing it.

                                HEY! I'm not the only person who has that name you know! In fact, it's very common in some parts of the world, I'm sure. And the e-mail address is just a one-in-a-million coincidence, I swear!!!

                                      I thought this was a good topic for my first post..

                                      I really hope for their sakes that the wembasters use different ftp passwords. It will be interesting to see what comes of this.

                                        I don't have accounts at very many webmaster boards, but those of you who do should spread this around. Considering that they shut it down and aren't saying anything, they sure look guilty.

                                          My advice: find a site that doesn't shave and send your traffic there.
                                          this is why i like to sell traffic per impression. you're putting a ton of trust into these paysites hoping they pay what they say they do.

                                              Ummm, guys why the fuck are you SOOOO surprised, we ALL KNOW that EVERY damn sponsor with big payouts is shaving like a bastard. They have to make money some how don't they?

                                              I mean Joel from CEN admited they shave too, big deal. I'm sure there shave stats are a big more advanced that this dollars4u stats though.

                                                        OK let's see...

                                                        Quick calculation (disregarding processing fees, chargebacks, things like that):

                                                        100 3 day trial signups for Ams. Teens x $2.95(cost per trial) = $295.00 total sales
                                                        50% conversion (say half of the trials convert to monthly) = $1747.50 converted sales
                                                        100 webmaster payouts of $30.00 = $3000.00 payout
                                                        $1747.50(Actual sales) + $295.00(initial trial sales) - $3000.00(payout) = -$957.50 (negative!)

                                                        Besides shaving, how the hell else would these companies be able to pay out so much on trial signups? In the regular world, if I paid a salesman $50.00 for every $3.00 item he sold for me, I wouldn't be in business very long. Why is it that people let this shit go in the adult world? Strange.

                                                            Your logic is flawed. If you pay a guy $50.00 for selling a single $3 item, you're out of business. However, that isn't the model we're working with. This is more like selling a guy a $3 item that, if he forgets about it for a couple of days, will become a $40 item. Also, when you sold him the item, you threw in a shitload of catalogs of similar items for him to look through and you'll pick up extra money if he buys any of that (upsells).

                                                            Also, don't forget that you are paying your salesman $50 for selling a $3 item, but he also gets $50 is he sells a $500 item. A lot of those sales were multiple-month sales, rebills, whatever. A lot of them were showing several hundred dollars charged to the customer with the same small payouts to the webmasters.

                                                              because you're paying for a customer. its up to the site to retain. if the avg surfer that joined the site for a trial stayed 4 months that would be 142.75 in membership fees alone. then add on any upsells in the members area and it would be well over 150 per. that 30 bux paid to webmasters isn't a whole lot.

                                                                    Hehe I knew someone would tag me on this, but that's why I said "Quick calculation".

                                                                    What are the actual percentages of people who forget to cancel? What are the actual percentages of people who retain memberships at most of these sites? Come on, we've all visited some of these paysites at one time or another and taken a quick peek inside their members area. Most of them blow chunks and I can't imagine that many people sticking around.

                                                                    I was going to go into details on how the salesman I paid $50.00 to would get me customers that I could upsell to, etc. but in the long run the percentages just wouldn't ever work out high enough in my favor. That's why shaving goes on.

                                                                    If you're going to tag me and say my logic is flawed, and that the companies actually do make money from retaining memberships, upselling, etc. then you're going to also state that shving doesn't happen. Otherwise the execution of my logic might have been screwy, but the end result is the same. You can't make an honest profit by paying out 10 times more than what you take in.

                                                                    Jak

                                                                      I was always under the impression that you would get paid for everything and if a webmaster had an abnormally bad conversion ratio that you would lock the account, investigate and withold payment if necessary.

                                                                      Not just shave 59% of all sales. THAT seems like a very high percentage of traffic that is coming in from "bounced emails, non matching ip-addresses and bad countries.

                                                                                      Ummm, I've ran paysites for many years and I know that most $40 signups have fucking terrible rebill rates. I'd say most big paysites with mainly plugin content would have rebill rates of 1.5 months per customer, which an't great.

                                                                                                Besides looking through the emails associated with shaved sales doesn't seem to reveal any corelation at all. Nor is there any data associated with IP addresses logged in the script and a large percentage of the shaved sales recur, some for as long as a year.

                                                                                                If you're gonna lie to webmasters, at least think up something clever. Not only are they offended that you stole their money, they are even more offended that you think they are so fucking dumb that they'd believe that bullshit line.

                                                                                                    2) Bad countries?? What are they? Ibill scrubs all cards from all "bad" countries. You can't have customers from those countries.

                                                                                                    3) Non-matching IP's? What other IP are you comparing your customer's IP to?

                                                                                                    4) Let's suppose what I wrote above is not correct... But you've shaved 53%, so this must be your refund&CB ratio as to your saying. How on earth Ibill still keeps you?

                                                                                                      Quick calculation (disregarding processing fees, chargebacks, things like that):

                                                                                                      100 3 day trial signups for Ams. Teens x $2.95(cost per trial) = $295.00 total sales
                                                                                                      50% conversion (say half of the trials convert to monthly) = $1747.50 converted sales
                                                                                                      100 webmaster payouts of $30.00 = $3000.00 payout
                                                                                                      $1747.50(Actual sales) + $295.00(initial trial sales) - $3000.00(payout) = -$957.50 (negative!)

                                                                                                      Besides shaving, how the hell else would these companies be able to pay out so much on trial signups? In the regular world, if I paid a salesman $50.00 for every $3.00 item he sold for me, I wouldn't be in business very long. Why is it that people let this shit go in the adult world? Strange.

                                                                                                      Jak

                                                                                                      Webmasters that sign up for 80% revshare or $50. trial payouts are just asking to be screwed. But from their own greedyness they ignore the obvious signs of shaving and fraud.

                                                                                                      Don't like it? Start promoting sponsors that are paying out a reasonable amount that makes logical sense. Go with the sponsor that's paying an honest 50-60% that actually retains members and treats their sites like a true business.

                                                                                                      Then there are those that say, "who cares if they shave, as long as I get my money". Bullshit. It's fraud, nothing less. If your sponsor is willing to shave your sales just to be able to offer you 80% revshare or whatever, what else are they doing you don't know about? If they're defrauding you, they're probably screwing their members too.

                                                                                                      These aren't businessmen, they're simply greedy crooks running adult sites.
