There was some link to the person that owned PayCounter.com.

Their part of the deal was that they would promote the site through the "thousands and thousands of affiliates" they had access to, via the PayCounter.com database. As you could probably imagine, I never saw a single check.

They said the site never made sales. I asked to see the CCBill stats, and they said "we'll call CCBill and have them make you a login". I asked repeatedly, over the course of many months. Never was the request honored. I never saw any stats that either confirmed or denied the sales that supposedly never occured.

Years went by, and the program is now gone.

I'm still pretty fucking pissed off about that incident. There are some strong arguments against partnering with anyone.

All I know is that I have had a paysite for many years, and for quite a while it had sat idle and it made hundreds of sales. To the idiots that started AdultLabel.com, I believe they thought the sales were insignificant and not worthy of being shared.

Pretty shitty way to be treated.
I dont doubt I wasnt the first... and even though I made the post in the hope to try and guard against other people falling into the same trap, I know there will be others... The real irony is it will probably be with the same people that fucked us over... the partners are already laughing at us, telling us they're coming up with the next big way to make big money...

When you fight hard to make sales, and you here what some of these mega companies turn over each month/quarter you just wonder if it's worth the effort... and when you get offered a golden egg it's hard to turn it down... I just guess when you scratch the surface of that egg you soon realise that it's not golden inside ! far from it !
