I have noticed that lots of web-masters start sending traffic to Gossipkings.com affiliate program. So I want to warn these people from possible troubles. The thing is that I have experience working with this company and its policy.

In recent days I decided to find out some new websites (adult-profit with which I used to work for many years and all of them are also closed).

Mr. Marc contacted me via ICQ for many times and offered me to work with their websites. At first time I was confused with rumors that concerned their business. Despite this Marc said that their company had been working for 2 years and they had perfect reputation. Thus they always payed to their affiliates even when some troubles with WMC appeared. So I had decided to redirect my traffic to their websites.

I had 10 sales for first two days. A day later I had noticed that they charged off an account 1 refund. Frankly speaking I was confused because in PPS area affiliate program takes upon themselves such expenses. So I had to contact to Marc. Here's his answer to me:


"Yeah, we do deductions on chargebacks and refunds. We don't make any money on those. In fact we lose money. But at this point we need to talk anyway as we've suspended your account while we look into it."

As I have said it sounds very strange. It means that this affiliate program will have all our rebills and at the same time webmasters have to pay all the expenses. But that is not the point. I was very surprised with the fact of my suspend account. Why? In fact I can't take my money out of the company. To add they can go without it if they want to check me. Within two days I had 11 sales (I counted them after email confirmation). At last I got an answer from Marc:

"We've actually banned your account now, not just suspended it. We've banned it for fraudulent transactions."

What did he mean? Fraud? I tried to explain that I have been working on this market for 6 years. What's more there are some affiliate programs which I worked with from the first day they started working. I have lots of websites (cj,tgp,blogs,gallery traffic) and more than 200 k visitors per day. Lots of autoritative webmasters working in this niche know me. So they can confirm my honesty. It's stupid to do such things for me! I have been working here for many years and I am not going to quit. Having so many reasonable facts all my words seem to be empty for this affiliate program and its owners. My account is still blocked.

I wanna say a few words about refunds. The previous day before it happened Marc gave me an access to websites' member zone. No one video was available – I just read "video not found"! I immediately reported about this. According to Marc answer he didn't have idea about that error. But he promised to fix it as soon as possible. It means that video content hadn't been available for lots of time. And I don't know how much time it took to solve the problem. Perhaps that was the reason of my refunds!? I don't know...I strongly feel that administration (owners) should have solved the problem before I was identified as a fraud.

With all the mentioned I offer you to think twice before working with this company. I faced troubles after 6 days since I started working with them. You can send traffic to their websites for 2 weeks (and wait for hold) and as a result you'll be treated as a fraud and your account will be blocked!

It might be that they were wrong about me and once they'll unblock my account but now I am really confused. In the future we'll be able to collaborate with them in case they understand me. (I have told Marc about my turnover). Thanx for your attention.
