    Non-US affiliates jumping ship faster?

    Seems like the adult internet is getting less non-us friendly now that epass bit the big one. Thoughts?

      It's just a blip.. There are enough alternatives available that sponsors will be implementing a bunch soon enough... Will clear out a few that were just getting by though.

        Everyone running a solid business shouldn't have a problem cashing an US cheque.

            For me it means I'm consolidating promotion and focusing on less sponsors... With epass it was easy to send a bit of traffic to 100 different companies, and now that I've switched my smaller sponsors to check, traffic to them has become less of a priority.

              Just a matter of time till everyboy switches to paxum,cashX or something. US checks still cash fine while this clears up...

                Indeed, I took a good hard look at my ratios, and I'm sending most of my traffic to 10 programs tops. Was alot more a months ago.

                  Epassporte was affecting your type-in traffic?

                  What scam sites are you talking about?

                    It will clear out the bottom trash, sure enough. But new ones will appear, so an even and natural balance is kept.

                      Not everywhere. For example, in Russia the US cheques are real headache.

                      A quote from http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/sknanb.com:

                      Visitors by Country for Sknanb.com

                      Country Percent of Site Traffic
                      Russia 33.6%
                      United States 14.0%
                      Belarus 4.2%
                      ...
                      So the smart affiliate program owners should think of other alternative payment ways which works best for the majority (see the quote above) of their affiliates

                          Whilst Epass was immensely handy, I have no trouble cashing U.S checks (and have been doing so for years). I have changed all Epass sponsors back to checks where I can.

                            Right, the people with solid sites and running real businesses will be fine... but I'd bet on the vast majority of people in adult aren't in that boat.

                                Many sponsors are not just jumping into bed with any new payout companies. I think if you took a look around you'll see just what I mean. Many programs are not touching the new payout companies.

                                  We removed all wire fees and lowered the min. payout and we are seeing a nice boost in new affiliates as of late.

                                    a good bit are and I bet 1/2 of them get burned with in the next year to year and half.

                                        If your little kitchen table 'business' revolves around ePass then get the fuck out.
                                        You don't belong in 'business' anyway.

                                          The good sponsor program with good sites and nice ratio will always have enough affiliates to promote them. And it doesn't which payment options they offer. But sure, the more alternatives to choose, the better

                                                this thread is SOOO WRONG!... epass was shitty since the gambling days, whoever kept using it was too stupid.

                                                Non- USA affiliates know the existence of WIRE TRANSFERS!

                                                      Exactly.

                                                      To cash a few checks I have to drive to my bank, then wait for the lady to do all the paperwork which takes at least half an hour usually, then sign all the forms, and then wait another 3-4 weeks till the money finally shows on my account. Not mentioning my bank takes approx. $25 from each check...

                                                      I know checks are quick and convenient in the US, but almost everywhere else they're obsolete and a serious pain in the ass

                                                            Хорошо сказано, но я таки думаю, что вы руководствовались кое чем еще, когда прикручивали eCoin и ePayService Как насчет Payoneer и Epassporte?
