True, during the affiliate uproar when they discovered that "lifetime" revshare actually only meant 14 days, the owner came on gfy and stated that he felt 14 days was more than fair and affiliates should be thankful for that. Keep in mind that affiliates had been sending traffic for almost a year before a couple of them got wise and posted on AWE's board with inquiries as to why revshare never seemed to go past 14 days.
Then shortly after this all occurred AWE held the infamous "Live Sex Awards" which cost them over a million to put on and they gave away over $250k to cam models. So after telling affiliates they were only worth 14 days, they turn right around and blow a million plus on the stupidest award show that flopped miserably.
The part that I always felt was very shady was that they never changed their wording on their affiliate signup page to reflect a 14 day revshare program. So many new affiliates signing up never realized they weren't getting lifetime revshare, which every other cam program was paying out. Then they came out with whitelabels and proclaimed that affiliates would now get lifetime revshare as they would keep all their customers, however, they sneakingly changed the whitelabel revshare to only 10% instead of the standard 20% to offset the lifetime payout.
There was also the webmaster referral payout fiasco someone eluded to earlier. They also got caught using stolen images on all their promo material. I could go on and on with things AWE has done that made me discontinue promoting them long ago. I know they pay and I know affiliates who have done well with them, but they are one company I just don't trust and won't ever promote again.
