You have to realize that just because the links can be imported doesn't mean the sponsor will bother or that it is done correctly. Every time this happens an affiliate usually loses money. It's pretty frustrating and it's probably yet another reason why so many affiliates left the adult pay site industry. |
I totally agree. There have been some real scumbag sponsors out there who have deliberately not done the work to make affiliate accounts import correctly and give affiliates credit for joins. If a sponsor migrates to NATS and tells affiliates to re-signup, I hope folks have the sense to know a sponsor who burned them with a 3rd party biller is not to be trusted when they are standalone.
Every time I do anything on one of my sites where I do affiliate sales, I come across yet more links which are either dead or at least not making me money. This is infuriating.
However . . .
I do not believe it is the biller's fault and all the biller-bashing threads concern me because they are flat out bad for the industry.
These threads do seem to usually be started by the sig-less and I think it is tasteless to bash someone else's business, while hiding one's own. I apologize for my fake nick comment, however, if smoothballs is a real person.
I do think we can all agree that we don't need it to get any
more difficult to make a dollar.
