    hpic.com - do you think this is misleading?

    We signed up with hpic.com to send them traffic becuase we thought their payout was pretty good. On their website it says this:

    "The best payout on the net! We pay 8cts per regular banner click and 2 cts for warez traffics or blind/exit traffic."

    And even less details on the "Learn More" page:

    http://www.hpic.com/advert/program_click.htm


    So we sent them around a thousand clicks to start, and we noticed that their stats were shaved so we contacted them and they say that they only pay on the second click!

    Then what the hell does this mean??

    "We pay 8cts per regular banner click" !!

    Anyways, I think what they do is pretty misleading, I emailed them what their page says and I'm waiting to hear back from them.

    your thoughts?

    Frankly, I would stay well clear of anyone talking about 'warez' traffic myself

      From their terms, no where is 2nd page mentioned at all

      "A "Unique click through" occurs when a user enters a H&H site main page with an IP address that has not been identified before for that site and falls within the parameters defined by Hpic"

      So entering a main page is supposed to = 2nd page. How is anyone supposed to know that the linking code doesnt go straight to a "main" page?

        8 cents to the first page would be very hard to do in todays market.

          mmmm sounds fishy to me... Why is TGP trafic different than non-TGP traffic? Clicked traffic is clicked traffic.....And they pay for warez traffic.

              Yeah so I contacted Flashcash.com becuase they say they offer $.10 per click..

              Luckily I contacted them and its 2nd click too..

              Why mislead webmasters?

                Unless I am wrong, all the click-thrus that are left in the biz are at the least 2nd page clicks.... either that or they open 15 windows on entry.

                Here is some for you.... sign up for PPS or Rev Share and quit wasting your hits
                SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                  That's fine but they need to make it clear..

                  They clearly say "banner click" which is a lie...

                    Apparently "falls within the parameters defined by Hpic" is how they do it. I would never agree to a term like that, they can change it at any time to suit their needs.
