He did not know the age. And probably just glanced at the video for a few seconds (as he claimed). And age of consent in Europe currently is between 13 to 18 years. You sound as if he saw babies and said they were sexy. Some females may be sexy at the age of 14, 15 and so on. Anybody who tries to neglect that is fooling himself and others.
Bottom line: you try to make it sound as badly/horrifying as possible.Comment

So he *claimed*. But with his history of restraining orders, fraud, stealing content and scamming people, and licking skulls in a wedding dress I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he thought 14 year olds are sexy.
I wouldn't be defending someone like that if I were you.Comment

Then quit pissing.who has ever said any different, in the history of the world? That's like saying walmart earn less $$$ per product than Billy Bob and Sue's Convenience Store... wtf has that got to do with anything in this thread?
lol, I'm all for pissing away free time, but this has got ridiculous
I got an idea.
Run some quality traffic from multiple sources through a well designed low volume site for a month.
Then, throttle that traffic down to 10% for the following month.
Logic dictates that it will make only 10% of the sales it was accustomed to in the first month.
Right?
This is what I originally said, just restated from another angle.
Right?
Now, you can throw in your 'variables' as to why it will earn less or more than 10% in the second month.
As long as the traffic from EACH individual source was throttled down to 10%, there shouldn't be any variables.
Right?
Of course not ..... because you want to pigeonhole a simple logical equation..

One of the best posts in this threadIf you think someone isn't doing it well, but it is too hard to do it well and you can't imagine doing it better or won't make the effort to do it better... you are not being useful. A professional would either build a successful site, find ways to work with existing sites, or STFU and move on to something that they can do successfully. Instead you are here acting like you are doing something important, when all you are doing is pissing off the few people who are capable of doing exactly what you admit you can't do.

Logic may dictate... however the math does not. 95% of webmasters here do not have enough statistically significant data to draw mathematically reliable conclusions about anything at 100%, much less 10%.
The vast majority of "i'm being shaved" in this industry has always been in the end, the admission that "i don't understand statistics, standard deviation and statistical norms"... and never take into account any other multitude of factors which impact sales negatively. Anyone here would have a hell of a time finding someone doing volume that claimed they were being screwed. Of course its happened... but not very often.
"shaving" began as payouts began to rise from 29.00 to 39.00 to 45.00 to 60.00 per sale etc. Ron Levi was the first to announce he was bowing out of that race to the bottom and that was quite a few years ago - Close to 10. MP3 Was built with a shave feature in it which that fucking idiot was spamming on this board and touting as a great feature. However, in todays age of cross sells, better content/unique content, interconnected networks (access to all sites), upsells etc, there is zero need to shave anyone. It's just a word people love to use to externalize failure and a habit which teaches them absolutely nothing about how to move forward and grow.Last edited by TheSquealer; 04-16-2014, 02:48 PM..

I am not defending anyone, merely saying that you deliberately tried to sound as bad as possible towards him. I remember this story and at the beginning many people assumed that he straight up said "I find 14 year old girls sexy". That was the way you implied, at least people reading your posts understood it in a similar way. While the situation was not exactly that.So he *claimed*. But with his history of restraining orders, fraud, stealing content and scamming people, and licking skulls in a wedding dress I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he thought 14 year olds are sexy.

At first some people tried to destroy teencat's work by saying that shaving does not matter, only earning per clicks. Now there is additional layer of trying to destroy teencat's work and reputation by saying that test joins = fraud joins.
And the most interesting thing is that not sponsors, but fellow affiliates (?) are back stabbing teencat... Sad.Last edited by mineistaken; 04-16-2014, 03:25 PM.Comment

I did some test joins a few years back and CCBill dropped the ball in tracking a sale that Met-Art acknowledged was made from my site with the subscription ID I received.
CCBill is not infallible.
Especially on days it has database malfunctions that allow affiliates to access the accounts of sponsors..

Backstabbing implies doing something deceitful. Nobody in this thread backstabbed Teencat. I made a very sound logical argument as to why what he is doing is nonsense and why I do not agree with his flawed analysis. Others have said that small affiliates are no longer viable (something I don't agree with) but clearly something they truly and publicly believe.
In every case, people have been very honest about how they each feel. You clearly do not understand what Backstabbing is, which is not surprising based on the fact that you also clearly don't know what Shaving is either. This thread has nothing to do with deceit and everything to do with cost / benefit analysis - on both the program owner and affiliate level.Comment

I know!Bravo! Some of those Bros are really showing their true colors in this thread.
Why should the Bros be concerned with programs going "private" and closing to the public? Small affiliates are not needed anyway and generally just a pain in the ass, right?
It was just a small error that only effected a few affiliates for a few days, right? But what if it was not caught and left that way for the next year? That might buy a nice round of drinks for the Bros at a show.
If we suck so much why do they bother replying to us? If we are insignificant compared to them then it doesn't make sense that they are here at all. Especially going at it as hard as they are ....

I agree with you and with JT in terms of not wanting to deal with small-time affiliates causing trouble (in their eyes). My problem is with HOW this is being handled. I mean, who's the bigger man here and why would a Program Owner of JT's size even bother with such nonsense if he feels it is so? Either way you certainly do not come on GFY and go apeshit.Well, Teencat fraudulently joined JT's site, called him a scammer, a shaver, a con man and a liar and you said
"Originally Posted by The Porn Nerd View Post
PS to JT: Making business decisions based on what someone writes on an internet message board is fucking retarded. "
So I assumed you'd be happy with Teencat with his 2 joins a month doing that to you. Sorry if I misread it.
I think it has soiled Teencat's reputation as someone that doesn't understand that his 2 sales a month, libel, constant bitching and fraud are not worth the hassle he causes.
When you've been running you programme a little longer, you'll hopefully realise it is miles cheaper to move traffic generation in-house than to pay 50% out to little dicks that cause you hassle, damage your reputation, commit fraud and libel you.
I get it, when you're new, it's hard to find the money to outlay on in house staff. You want to keep lean and agile and I get that.
I give you a year before you are employing people solely to do the 'jobs' affiliates do and make your programme invite only.
You shoot good content, you seem a lovely chap, but just move it in house. Dealing with the minnows is pointless.
For however many of you (myself included) who hated the lame responses from CCBill anytime they were questioned (about anything), the company's "All is fine, there is nothing wrong" response was, in the end, the correct one.
Again i am agreeing with you Jel. LOL I agree - blow off some steam, go fuck a Czech chick or three, eat a donut. Relax. FREAKING OUT and threatening to ban affiliates, taking your program private, lashing out at posts....chill the fuck out.bolded quote: the way he repeatedly asked for an email, account details? At some point you say: fuck this, it isn't worth the hassle/ROI. Like you just said, you agree with many of JT's points - anyone with half a brain in this thread does. But the idiots keep jumping in, joining in with the accusations, and most of them never having sent a click to his sites in the first place. So now he is pissed off, and rightly so, but has to keep going, being nice, diplomatic, etc?
On a board with a bunch of part timers? That stopped being a real biz board years ago? You can't please all of the people all of the time, and at some point you have to do what you feel is best, in all areas - saying 'fuck this' at whatever point that is, is now somehow the most OMG moment ever? His fucking *manners*, in a trash talk thread, with ZERO direct communication EVER from the 'wronged' affiliate, slating his biz, calling him a cheater, preserved for ever with the actual facts lost somewhere on about page 6 which no fucker reading the thread from scratch is gonna get to, is now the issue?
Get real mate
If I did all that shit with you, you'd still be the diplomat after 6 weeks, multiple threads, and zero communication from me? I don't think anyone would, and I certainly wouldn't blame them for letting off some well-deserved steam 
This thread has obviously gotten a fuckload of views so, in this heated environment, time to take a chill pill and realize you are actually posting for others to see, not the person you're mad at.

If it is revshare as signupdammit suggested then that wouldn't be fraud.

Well said ... I've been saying this too but it seems the 'bros' in this thread don't have the ability to think properly once they have gone rabid.However, doing test joins and noticing billing anomolies is not a horrible thing that should make you, RUC and others shit bricks. If affiliates are so inconsequential then what the fuck do you or anyone else care about what they do or don't do?
Seems many here talk out of both sides of their mouth on this issue. Either affiliates (small ones) have significance or they do not. If they do not then why even respond the way you, RUC and others have in this thread? Makes no sense.
Shouldn't all you BROS be making so much bank that you're all too busy in your Bentleys to even read GFY? LOL Yet you come here and bash another Program Owner (me) who has the temerity to defend honest affiliates seeking answers to questions they have. Classy. I'm sure if I called all small affiliates ass wipes and losers you'd all invite me into the BRO Club. But who wants to be in a Club filled with so many people who treat other people like inconsequential shit? Do that in private maybe but doing it in public just wreaks of childish stupidity.Comment

Rob a bank then? Since it's only money that matters why not take up spamming or be a hitman?
Also $ per click only would matter for the present time and cash in hand. I base the majority of my work on future earnings. What I am working on now won't make money until the future, nothing is instant. So if I blindly based my business decision on $ per click of present day earnings with no other factors considered there is a decent chance I am not going to make the best choice.
I could buy a site that has good present earnings related it's sale price, but it could be all search engine traffic and also has declining traffic. So in the present it looks great, but six months from now it could be zero. A sponsor's sites may sell well and had some good ratios, but if you build out a network spending time and money designed at promoting them and it turns out they go out of business, stop paying, whatever, then your blind $ per click assessment that works right now is going to cost you in the future
Life is bigger then $ per click. Also it should be cpm anyway. Fat ugly chicks may make a great $ per click but their cpm is going to be iffy cause no one clicks

Very dangerous to work on something where ROI is so far out in the future in a business as volatile, you support this yourself in the next paragraph.

Still works exactly as described, dollars made per clicks generated, you should NEVER depend on a sponsor to be around in six months, those that are around will certainly make you good money, but how many times have so called "sponsors" running "programs" bitched and moaned about paying a Visa registration fee ?I could buy a site that has good present earnings related it's sale price, but it could be all search engine traffic and also has declining traffic.

If you are buying a site you should be taking into account declining traffic, and if you do not think you can INCREASE the earnings, you shouldn't be buying. Anyone that buys a site that hit's zero earnings in six months, should get a job somewhere because running their own business is not for them
Fat Ugly chicks have been a massive draw for both clicks and sales since 1996, and there are 2 reasons
1. So called "chubby chasers" LOVE their big women, and they are also rarer since it is harder to find BBWs with the self confidence to get naked in front of a camera.
2. (And I do not mean to offend) Train wreck factor, the non BBW fans JUST HAVE TO SEE, same reason that People fucking watermelons was an all time classic top list link that drew MASSIVE traffic everywhere it was listed"As pornographers we must act responsibly! ;))"- Nickatilynx

First off, that's fine you only advocate for legal sites that treat consumers in an ethical manner. I missed this in the 11 page mess because I've just seen $ / click written over and over and over.Scroll up. I only advocate for legal sites that treat consumers in an ethical manner.

Anyway...
The past would state there has been a ton of shady programs in adult, so I would expect the same in the future...
Getting paid by programs is a real concern for affiliates and any indicator of something amiss means something else could be up. Whats the phrase, "where there is smoke there is fire"? If you are learning from the past, then seeing if various sponsors are functioning properly (whether intentional or accidental, shit does happen) sounds like it would be important. You send to the highest $ / click program, they pay net 30, they make an excuse about checks or billing errors or something. They close shop. You are out 2 months of earnings... I'd gladly diversify my traffic between sponsors and make less $ per click overall to have a greater chance of being paid out the most.
As an affiliate, what do you base these clicks on? Sponsors stats? Sure you can compare NATS programs side by side usually, but something like nasty dollars stats you sure can't compare directly to NATS stats. This will further distort your simplistic $ / click model
As for buying sites, I have bought a ton of affiliate sites over the years and sent the affiliate traffic to sponsors so I really don't understand your response. I'm basically buying affiliate traffic in the form of a website to send to sponsors. If I bought a site based all on media revenue sites or some other defunct affiliate program I would pretty much have no site. Or if I bought a "sex tape" site which had a great earnings per click but was only a brief bit of news and after the news died down the site died with it.
So it sounds like you are building out your $ / click model now. But again, CPM is better then $ / click.$ / click is all that matters on the affiliate level
That includes knowing how much each click cost you
Whether or not the site reats your traffic ethically
Whether the product sold is legalSupComment

Getting paid in the future is always a concern. There are more honest businesses that go bankrupt and fail to pay than there are dishonest businesses that fail to pay. Think about that.
You have zero ability to predict who will pay. Whether someone shaves or doesn't shave adds zero to your predictive ability.
$ / click is the only barometer you have. When that number changes, so should your traffic patterns.
Why it changes is nearly 100% irrelevant at the affiliate levelComment

He is talking about EPC's on the sponsor side obviously. Unique visitors you send to an offer and what you earn from those unique visitors which also means that any sensible webmaster should be tracking his clicks and all the accompanying visitor metrics, filtering them by countries, mobile/pc, sending them to the appropriate offers etc etc etc etc etc. CPM is something that happens on your side. This is an equally bizarre statement. A banner can have a 1% CTR or a .001% CTR on your page. That has little to do with what you earn per unique visitor from a particular offer and the only thing CPM measures is ones ability to design banners that get clicks. EPCs measure whether or not those clicks turn into revenue.Last edited by TheSquealer; 04-17-2014, 05:29 AM..

I'd hardly say it is very dangerous to work on a site concept for half a year before launching. I imagine it is done all the time, sure more risky now, but churning out some piece of shit in 2 weeks isn't the best idea either. Instant money is great, but I find instant money can be instantly taken away just as easy. Instant money = instantly be able to be copied by someone else.
I agree, but at the same time programs with good $ / click that have been in this thread only offer revshare ;)Still works exactly as described, dollars made per clicks generated, you should NEVER depend on a sponsor to be around in six months, those that are around will certainly make you good money, but how many times have so called "sponsors" running "programs" bitched and moaned about paying a Visa registration fee ?
I really believe there is a disconnect in this thread between media buyers making affiliate sales and actual website owners sending affiliate traffic.
Obviously, but the simplistic $ / click model doesn't take this into account. The $ / click could actually rise as traffic declines, as your typeins and SE maintain but your shitty traded traffic drops off. So while the $ / click sent to sponsors gets better as your traffic quality increases, your overall gross earnings decline.If you are buying a site you should be taking into account declining traffic, and if you do not think you can INCREASE the earnings, you shouldn't be buying. Anyone that buys a site that hit's zero earnings in six months, should get a job somewhere because running their own business is not for them
I wasn't saying fatties don't convert well, I was just tossing out a comment real quick simply saying that you can have great $ / click and terrible CPM. You could put gay porn on a straight site, make 1 click from some obviously lost confused surfer, make 1 sale, have a great $ / click and terrible CPM.Fat Ugly chicks have been a massive draw for both clicks and sales since 1996, and there are 2 reasons
1. So called "chubby chasers" LOVE their big women, and they are also rarer since it is harder to find BBWs with the self confidence to get naked in front of a camera.
2. (And I do not mean to offend) Train wreck factor, the non BBW fans JUST HAVE TO SEE, same reason that People fucking watermelons was an all time classic top list link that drew MASSIVE traffic everywhere it was listedSupComment

Now let's show the next step....
Are those two numbers from similar offers in similar niches with similar traffic? My strong suspicion is no, they are not. If they were, you would shift the .07 traffic to the .50 sponsor in almost every case. The much more likely scenario is that the .50 is the highest $/click of one "type" and the .07 is the highest $/click of another "type." I'd also guess you are currently working on getting more of the "type" of traffic that works on the .50 sponsor's offer and are doing very little to push the .07 sponsor currently.
Can you confirm or deny my hypothesis?

My bad, ecpm, earnings per thousand viewsHe is talking about EPC's on the sponsor side obviously. Unique visitors you send to an offer and what you earn from those unique visitors which also means that any sensible webmaster should be tracking his clicks and all the accompanying visitor metrics, filtering them by countries, mobile/pc, sending them to the appropriate offers etc etc etc etc etc. CPM is something that happens on your side. This is an equally bizarre statement. A banner can have a 1% CTR or a .001% CTR on your page. That has little to do with what you earn per unique visitor from a particular offer and the only thing CPM measures is ones ability to design banners that get clicks. EPCs measure whether or not those clicks turn into revenue.SupComment
