Try this, complain directly to them about sales... then, in a week's time, you'll see a couple sales go thru... you'll think, "ok, on the right track now." They do that just to keep you happy and to keep you from pulling all the links you just installed.
Then, after a few months of one or two sales, you'll give up and stop complaining...but, you'll keep all the links alive because you make a couple sales every month and worked so hard to install all those links. Now they gotcha. They will release to you about 8 or 10 sales a year, just to keep your links alive and keep you from complaining and pulling out.
Happens with almost every webcam affiliate program. The skimming is massive. They post affiliate sales in their website advertising the top 10 or top 20 affiliate programs, showing these outrageous sales. That is the just the 'hook' to get people to sign up and when they do, they're fucked.
Almost all the new money is going to webcams. Nobody is buying pre recorded porn anymore because we all know, that porn is free now. So with 90% of all the lose money going to webcam sales, that is the new online goldmine and webcam owners aren't stupid enough to let YOU have any of it.
What would you do in an un regulated business where people are sending you sales and you had the option of paying them or not? You'll hear the opposite argument from the owners that always say, "oh, no, we pay.... we have to or our business will die." Hilarious. For every 1 affiliate that gets burned by skimming, 20 new ones replace him.
My favorite are the webcams that advertise, $ 200 PPS !!! So fucking funny. They attract new sign ups like wild fire... toss out a couple payouts and skim the rest. Do they worry they are pissing off new affiliates because the affiliate isn't making any money? Hell no. They just raise the PPS to $ 300 the following month and scoop up double the affiliate sign ups.
Must be nice to run a business that is 100% unregulated. A license to steal.
My opinion, anybody that reps a webcam site is a moron and enjoys getting their pockets picked clean.
