    If you want to keep it easy, you don't need to bother with opening accounts with futures brokers, you can simply open an account with Oanda.

    http://fxtrade.oanda.com/forex_tradi...easuries.shtml

    Yes, they're a forex broker, and due to some bad apples in the bucket their industry has got a bad reputation, but Oanda is the largest, and I think, trustworthy. They've recently got a USD 100 Million venture capital investment (http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2...6-32894573_ITM).

            Hey man -- Bob from XBIZ here. I've e-mailed you and ICQ'ed you a few times with no response. I had some questions:

            1. Did freeones send this email to all of its partners?

            2. If not, what partners received this email?

            3. Will Freeones change its policy when/if the dollar gets stronger?

            Thanks!

                Sounds like a great deal, if I increase your payout 10-30 points then I expect my sales to increase 10-30 points... at the same instant that I increase your payout. If you can't match the increase - you don't get the increase. That's fair.

                I can't see why any program would bend to any demand from a Webmaster without demanding more sales back in return.

                    interesting....so when/if the dollar gets stronger again, does it work the other way...instead of 60% can US programs cut it to say 50% but still expect the traffic?

                    i understand the idea behind this email/post...we love them there freeones :-)

                            A better solution for freeones would be to move out of the Netherlands.
                            That place sucks anyhow.

                            Move to Mexico or some part of Asia where the dollar can still buy you something.


                            The solution isnt demanding a higher payout, the solution is move out of places that use the Euro!

                            The answer is the PESO.......

                                    You could open a V.V (Vreemd Valuta) account and keep your dollars (and pay in dollars) till it's better. Anyways, it doesn't seem like a unreasonable request. Pretty smart actually too

                                            Seven years ago when we earned a thousand in US dollars, we would receive roughly 1250 euro in exchange. Presently for every thousand we earn, we're receiving about 645 euro.

                                            I am not saying your request is over the top but have you thought of the costs of operating here have gone up thus we are all taking it in the shorts for a short period?


                                            So what does that mean for sponsors who were paying ya for the years you were making even more in euros when the dollar was strong do they get a refund? or do we just call it even?

                                            Your traffic is worth it, but my issue is if everyone expects this same thing is where it goes wrong.

                                                I'd be happy to pay you 90%. I will just shave 30%. Let me know, thanks.

                                                    Every Canadian should start sending these emails, they've taken just as big of a hit over the last 6-7 years.

                                                        Apples and oranges. The programs should raise their price to compensate or use regional billing, not increase payouts. What a bunch of bull.

                                                        It's interesting. The same pattern repeats itself, a company is cool to begin with, they get greedy, and then everything goes downhill.

                                                        It's no wonder google has done so well with it's "don't be evil".

                                                                    You push your traffic towards you best converting and highest paying sponsors.

                                                                                3. Will Freeones change its policy when/if the dollar gets stronger?

                                                                                Thanks!
                                                                                Right....you know that's not gonna happen. Nothing against Freeones here, but seems sponsors already bend over to give them free t-shirt shoots ect. I know it sucks for EU and Canadian webmasters, but you guys damn were not complaining when you were getting more dollars than your own currency a few years back.

                                                                                The dollar will come back but you have to expect to take the good with the bad. You can't have gravy days all the time.

                                                                                I kinda think this is pushing it a bit, the way they are doing it. It's one thing to hit up a program that you send a lot of joins, to see if they can work you a better percentage. It's a totally different thing to pretty much demand it.

                                                                                Personally if I ran a rev share program and I could make the numbers work.. I'd make free ones guarantee a certain number of sales per month. If they made that amount of sales, then they get the bonus percentage.. If they don't well then they don't get it.

A guy that used to live like a king on his $2000 USD a month in a third world country is now wondering what he is supposed to do with $849 USD equivalent per month.

The sponsors who raise our payout will get the same amount of traffic or more from us, because they pay better than the rest. The ones who don't raise the payout will lose traffic, because we are sending it to our more interesting partners. So if you don't raise the payout as EU company you will lose our traffic to US partners who do.

                                                                                                                    In the end you will lose twice as EU company.

                                                                                                                    I see nothing wrong with this. FreeOnes is a traffic monster and as previously stated by others in this thread, their traffic really converts. To ask for another 10% on their revshare considering they have an approximate 45% loss of possible income due to the dollars decline is more than fair. Plus, the programs that get the bulk of FreeOnes traffic can probably retire 10x over just from the traffic Freeones sends them alone.

                                                                                                                    This is FreeOnes people. They are in a position to do this. Its not like Joe Schmo is going to contact their programs and ask for something like this and expect to get a positive response.

                                                                                                                    Probably going to see a lot of this in the next 10 years as the dollar goes more and more to shit... Just my 2cents

                                                                                                                        Its value appreciated and it was worth more than the U.S. dollar for part of the 1970s. The high point was on 25 April 1974, when it reached US$1.0443.

                                                                                                                                            More of their traffic will join more poor sites, rebill less, return to Freeones less and join another site less often.

                                                                                                                                            But heck no the surfer has no choice he's just some fool who will buy what we put in from of him and keep buying it.

                                                                                                                                            So wonder where all the Tubes traffic is coming from?

                                                                                                                                            Every action has a reaction.

But that's the stupidity of this whole situation. The programs converting at 1-200/500 might just say and leave Quashe with more sites converting at 1-500/1000. That will soon screw the extra 10%.

                                                                                                                                                    Or a few more affiliates who see who Freeones are promoting might do the same, ask for an extra 10%. Where does all this extra money come from?

                                                                                                                                                    Yes the members. Go figure their reaction.

It was a test to see how good his traffic was for us. When he asked in Berlin if we could resolve the situation I replied no need to bother. Seems I was right.

But that's the stupidity of this whole situation. The programs converting at 1-200/500 might just say and leave Quashe with more sites converting at 1-500/1000. That will soon screw the extra 10%.

                                                                                                                                                                    Or a few more affiliates who see who Freeones are promoting might do the same, ask for an extra 10%. Where does all this extra money come from?

                                                                                                                                                                    Yes the members. Go figure their reaction.

                                                                                                                                                                    This isn't about "needing" another 10% it's simply about wanting another 10% and quite frankly most sponsors can cope with it considering the amount of specifically targeted traffic that FreeOnes is sending.

                                                                                                                                                                    Surfers really won't notice a difference, the only thing that may come in response to this is some shady programs shaving them a bit more to be able to profit from the lower 10% but the real good programs will likely not even add another 10% on top since FreeOnes is already making enough money from them to begin with and, even if they did -- they would be able to cope with it but at a smaller margin then before.

                                                                                                                                                                    You're right though, the cost for the sponsors are way up there in comparison to the cost for FreeOnes operating their sites but, you're missing the point. FreeOnes is the top sponsor for many many affiliate programs out there and even if they had to give up another 5% or 10% they'd still be making good money from this traffic.

I know a lot of programs aren't bringing in the sales they use to. Maybe we should email affilatiates informing them we'll only be paying out 40% now. You know, so we can "remain profitable."

It was a test to see how good his traffic was for us. When he asked in Berlin if we could resolve the situation I replied no need to bother. Seems I was right.

                                                                                                                                                                                        So with such good traffic they need the 10% to remains in profit or greed? Whoops I meant good business.

                                                                                                                                                                                        Roald you remember it anyway you like, you and I both know who asked who. Was the extra 10% for need, good business or greed?

                                                                                                                                                                                        Originally posted by WiredGuy

                                                                                                                                                                                        And there's the problem. So sponsors at the top of Freeones promotion list gave an extra 10%. Wait until the other affiliates ask for more. What happens when it gets given or denied?

                                                                                                                                                                                        The snowball gathers in momentum and more of a problem.

                                                                                                                                                                                        So natkejs before a sponsor gives the extra 10% might want to think about the other good ones, the other 5% send 50% of their sign ups. Because if Freeones gets it they will want it as well.

I'm back over at NichePay again.. Got some good things in the works! I'll give you a bumped up % and I'll even have some custom stuff made up for you.. Lets work something out man! I like you alot, I'd be willing to work hard to get more of your traffic!

Or just the top ones?

Or they are desperate today. Because anyone who gives Freeones the extra will see others asking.

So if I decide to offer HIM more, that is my business.. not yours.. or anyone elses who does not perform like Free Ones does.
