I have promoted kinkydollars for so long that I actually sold them the kinkydollars domain when they rebranded all their stuff under "kink" as they rebranded from cybernetbucks. And I've been promoting kinkstercash for a very long time as well.
In recent months my kinkydollars sales have suffered additional declines, from a base that was not impressive compared to their glory days. I share the sense already expressed that there's not much concern for affiliates remaining at the company, and I have had some frustration with communications when I had a question or concern that wasn't easy to resolve. They were particularly opaque and unresponsive about the effect on affiliates of the apparently-failed deal to revive the Bondage Bank sites and about design problems with some of their newer sites and templates.
My sales and rebills and ratios are all quite a bit better with kinkstercash in 2015. However, for several years now kinkstercash has suffered from periodic payment delays (especially in spring and summer, though that may be coincidence) that sometimes have come with implausible excuses. Careful, patient, and polite emailing with their affiliate manager has gotten me paid in every case, but I still feel the need to monitor my payments from them rather closely.
I have a long and positive history with Fetishwealth also, but at a fairly low level of traffic and sales. I've recently been impressed with some of their content and am ramping up promotion, but it's too soon (too little traffic sent yet) to say what the success of that will be. Early returns are disappointing, but I've never been as good at marketing "huge network of sites for one subscription fee" setups, and and I may not be doing it right. I need larger numbers to reach a 2015 conclusion.
Hope these impressions help!
