You really need to dig deep to find a contact to cancel.

That said and the fact that I just promote very few sites inside the programs I always opt for revshare. I thought that revshare links would be more honest and that a) the surfer would not get fucked over and b) I would get a real revshare. I just recently looked at signup forms more closely to find out about these deceptive advertising tactics of some of the bigger programs around. This is all very shady and questionable and I will sort them out one by one.

I am afraid to say, those are the kind of things that make surfers turn their back on paid porn and resort to free tube sites.

BTW, I have nothing against upsells or crosssells inside the members area as long as there is some real content on the sites, but those pre-marked checkboxes on signup forms with very small fine print regarding the real cost of the transaction far below the signup button are not a proper way of business conduct.

Exactly! So the point is to know and ~trust~ the company you get into bed with. Do your homework, research the site and program owners and read the fine print as if you were a customer BEFORE you send traffic.

Over the past 13 years, I've seen the adult net migrate to the 'pay as you go' model...i.e. VOD sites and Clip sites. Why? Because the surfers are a lot more educated and much like webmasters are sick of getting fucked over by the unethical membership sites out there; which unfortunately, there are many of.

We've all be talking about this for years....the scammers, the shavers and the downright illegal...they haven't ruined the industry, but they sure have helped put a bad taste in the mouth of both porn purveyors and us peddlers.

Interested in working with industry people whose business practices are above reproach? If so, contact me.
