      Truly the tool of the weak. Lots of it going on in here! I give jenny respect for speaking up about this, it is left to everyone else to draw their own conclusions based on the reactions of those on the 'other side' of the argument.

        Good thread, a shame it has been dominated by a select few who all use the same types of deceptive marketing practices.

        Dont you think if roger had a high chargeback ratio that his processor would 'counsil' him?

        I have a similar type model as roger.. and out of my 6000 transactions i have had 1 chargeback. go figure.

              These complaints from the same people who demand 40.00 per signup.
              News flash, you can't pay more than somethings worth without loopholes. any of you assclowns who send your traffic to anything other than a pure partnership program should shut the fuck up. Your hands are as dirty as anyone elses.

              12clicks being against honesty, what a suprise.


              Funkmaster, I had been thinking about promoting one of your sites a little, but after seeing your posts in this thread I would never consider it. Ripping off surfers for a quick buck isn't the way you should be thinking anymore.

                Oh man, has this thread taken a turn for the funny.

                For every sponsor that shaves, there are 100 affiliates that cheat and steal. And 1000 surfers that lie and dodge and have figured out the many many ways to get off without paying for it.

                It's all about the numbers, there is nothing else to this.

                For those of you who've ever taken an economics class and perhaps made at least a C in it, I'll direct you to the Law of Diminishing Returns and the Law of Averages.

                These are not pie in the sky suggestions as to why surfers don't stay around, these are concrete proofs of numbers given a certain situation.

                Next we'll talk about Poisson Distribution and how it plays a part in all this if you'd like.

                    the leader, we have console free links to any of our sites, and if you can send in a decent amount of signups I am more than willing to get a crossbill free signupform especially designed for you and all the others that want to have that ...

                    .. as of brave jennycards, pornkings posted:

                    -------
                    your card must have declined and you got our 404. we don't have xxxpix in our members area did it look like this
                    www.xxxpix.com if it did you got declined and got our members section with all upsells
                    --------

                    ... I knew she/he was wrong in the first place when attacking pornkings, so I just took the chance to support roger like I would support anybody else if attacked the wrong way.

                        ... I have answerd his, now I want to get mine answered.
                        In a word, "NO". Approx 80 to 90% of my traffic comes from search engines. And yes, I am particularily good at this part of the business. Will I share my secrets...why would I? As you will read, no where in my posts am I saying my sites are better...or I get better conversions..in fact I have said the opposite. Again, I reiterate, my point is, if you cheat the customer....you are a thief..,

                        Do I have something to hide...yes...my marketing techniques. And say I was scamming the customer...(which I don't)..all this would prove is that you shouldn't throw stones in glass houses...but my rant and accusations of other's slimey business tactics would not remain any less true.

                        And talking about questions, you have still only answered one...the other is still unanswered:

                        ...Is your one day trial 24 hours in length...or does it end at midnight on the day of issue...and if midnight, by whose time zone?

                          Pornking, I am sure your program is good for webmasters and not the worst for customers and I dont question your honesty.

                          Nevertheless, I am sure our industry will change significantly over the next few years (if not months) and programs like yours will not survive (I have no doubt you are going to run another successful program by that time though).

                            No, no ... I DID access your member's section; the password WAS working ... but it stopped working ... maybe because I didn't want to be rebilled $37 and canceled my account after 15 minutes?

                            By the way ... though some of you might think I am a pussy I do have a dick between my legs

                                        I don't think this should be rocket science...

                                        1) Surfers (should) want a site they like and can afford, that is updated frequently with easy to find, new, on-topic content, and charges them only the pre-agreed price at the pre-agreed times.

                                        2) Webmasters (should) want to send traffic to a sponsor who has sites that surfers want, who doesn't shave hits or cents, and who pays a pre-agreed reasonable amount of their profits ontime everytime.

                                        3) Sponsors (should) want happy surfers and webmasters, and to keep a reasonable amount of the profits for their efforts.

                                        So isn't the answer obvious what the working formula should be?

                                        Send your traffic to an honest company that works hard to create good websites.

                                        simple.

                                          - part of their "Top 5 Features" is teen content (instead of mature)
                                          - part of their "Top 5 Features" would show "Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource" error message
                                          - most of the other content on that site is all but mature
                                          - many more error messages like "We are sorry, but we cannot authorize you to enter Flirt4Free" or "Access Denied"
                                          - never-ending pop-ups (on a member's site!!! )
                                          - Last update on their "XXX Pix" page: May 29, 2002

                                          By the way: The second month would cost me $37 ... so I assume I could expect some decent content for my money.
                                          if $37 is a problem to you, then get out of this bussiness !!
                                          $37 is a trip to a good resturant, so would you please stop complaining. Buy a decent hosting, and some fresh content and build a new site if you want to make money.
                                          dont look at this signature, Wildcard told me making money on GFY is baaaaaaaaaddd - so my sponsor links have been removed

                                            Original Content sites that do not use endless pop-ups are cool! Soon surfers will demand these type of sites because of the all in one rip off sites that promise everything. Quality over Quanity!

                                              It sure is nice to see honest and
                                              sincere business people like
                                              jennycards and the few others that
                                              have jumped in to help out.

                                              Aways keep these things in mind ....

                                              1. If you think for second that it's a
                                              smart business decision to send your
                                              traffic to the highest bidder, you are
                                              so wrong. Do some homework alot
                                              these guys have public records on
                                              the net like at the FTC for example.

                                              2. I'd be asking myself how they
                                              managed to cough up milions and
                                              millions of dollars in fines for being
                                              dishonest. It would also brother me
                                              that the millions they paid didn't
                                              appear to hurt them any and it's back
                                              to biz with the same scam just refined.

                                              3. We live in a world where the best
                                              offer more time's than not carries the
                                              highest risk of us getting fucked.
                                              "If it's too good to be true, it's not".

                                              I doubt anything I've said is anything
                                              you didn't already know. I've been
                                              watching this massive shell game go
                                              on for over a year. The traffic senders
                                              don't have a lot of options. Even I
                                              can't tell you whose a thief and whose
                                              not.

                                              If I was a traffic sender though I would
                                              look at this way. If a lot of companies
                                              are offering 1-3 times as much as what
                                              the initial sale puts in their pocket then
                                              a red flag would go up. Because it
                                              looks like their competing for losses
                                              which doesn't make sense. And I don't
                                              buy this upsell bullshit excuse.

                                              I would probally take some of my traffic
                                              and send it to the programs that offer
                                              a lot less. To me it means they have
                                              less of a need to fuck you. But that's
                                              just me...

                                              The only sure way to overcome what's
                                              going on is to be the receiver of your
                                              own traffic, have your own sites. A lot
                                              of you guys seem to be friends it sure
                                              would be a lot more profitable.

                                              Anyway Happy New Year to All!

                                                I saw the Lightspeed banner above
                                                my last message so I went to check
                                                them out.

                                                60% of the sale and 60% of any sales
                                                of that member forever.

                                                I really shouldn't to have to spell it out
                                                to you but I will.... a 60/40 deal is an
                                                optimal and fair partnership. They
                                                have a lot less sites, which means
                                                that they have targeted the surfer for
                                                the best case scenerio. And best of all
                                                they aren't as likely to have a steep
                                                overhead to deal with so the likely
                                                hood of you getting fucked by these
                                                guys is nearer to the zero 0 mark than
                                                the 200% one.

                                                Just my opinion , this has been an
                                                unpaid and unsolicted advertisment.

                                                  Truly the tool of the weak. Lots of it going on in here! I give jenny respect for speaking up about this, it is left to everyone else to draw their own conclusions based on the reactions of those on the 'other side' of the argument.

                                                  A good GFY piss!

                                                  your giving someone respect for making false accusations about our members section and how we conduct business.
                                                  Infact I feel we deserve an apology

                                                  Like I said if someone thinks they have a better members section than us other than FM lets compare I've seen just about everyone's out there.
                                                  we analize everything out there and then we try to make it better.

                                                  If you think exclusive content matters your wrong. good content I can understand that matters. you think surfers know if you have exclusive content soon the reality sites will become cookie cutters if they already havn't.

                                                  like I've said before we have done it all there is nothing new here that you have brought up and there is a reason why the big sponsors have cookie cutter sites as you call them.

                                                  show me a site that converts and retains better with exclusive content and I'll prove you wrong. And show you a cookie cutter site that does better.

                                                  people jumping on the band wagon bashing sponsors need to show numbers if you havn't tried us out. you have no room to talk.

                                                  we have done the voyour houses which was a reality site and it was live not just a video that got alot of press back in the day when things were new, we have done the amateur sites with live cam girls and exclusive content, the mega site the niche sites...ETC.

                                                  now we are launching new niche programs like sunny leone and brittany andrews which will be exclusive content.
                                                  will it change the numbers? let me answer that for you NO.

                                                  but it will have an apeal that surfers will like and they will join because of the $1 trial for a month. And if they are satisfied they won't cancel.

                                                  I can still say we convert the best thru 3rd party tracking and I bet we retain better than most. go figure

                                                  We work hard to give the webmasters the most out of there traffic and we work just as hard to give surfers there money's worth.

                                                  I personally think its wrong to charge for a membership upfront or a high $ trial. thats why we give them a month.

                                                      KK your up don't you ever sleep i thought you were sick.

                                                      let me come over and rub vics all over your chest.

                                                      Sometime I feel its pointless to try to educate some people like today.. I just don't get it. I wish i had sponsors back in the day tell me how it is. so we wouldn't have to go thru all the trial and errors.
                                                      Back when we had to learn it all on our own.

                                                      you have worked for a processor so you know what the real deal is.
                                                      Its funny how some webmasters think they understand the business without running a company from A-Z.

                                                        By the way ... though some of you might think I am a pussy I do have a dick between my legs
                                                        you had a month to cancel its only $37 after that

                                                        If you saw our members section you would have never gotten xxxpix like you posted. you got our fake or 404 members section for some reason.
                                                        did you see a girl holding up a note welcoming you with your username?

                                                            there are some well known.. reputable people on that list.. Just shows me that even honest programs can fall victim of false accusations.

                                                            for example RJB.. maxcash.. arnt they like the oldest sponsor in this industry? I have never heard a negative word about them.

                                                                And BTW, I don't think there's a site in the world worth $37/mo, but give me a freebie membership and if I'm blown away I'll come back and say so.

                                                                  RJB -- was not fined millions and did not pay millions in fines. Read it.

                                                                  Voice Media -- was not fined millionsand did not pay millions in fines. Read it.

                                                                  XPICS -- was not fined millions and did not pay fines of millions. Read it.

                                                                  Charlo -- was not fined millions and did not pay fines of millions. Read it.

                                                                  Hell, most of these people were not fined at all, unless you are confusing escrow with a punitive action.

                                                                  Carlos Perreira? He ever turn up anywhere? Hard to collect from someone that doesn't necessarily exist.

                                                                  I also find it funny how you've lumped a bunch of audiotext in with the internet stuff. And how you've pulled up the same case in more than one instance but listed it as if it were different.

                                                                  I guess that goes to show that you can try to make a case for anything.

You can't make money off sites with good quality content, a decent price and honest advertising. You must slam them with popups untiil their comps crash! Get them to sign up for 3 day trials that will conveniently rebill at the low rate of $39.99 if the surfer doesn't cancel his 3 day trial within 24 hours! Rape, murder and plunder the surfer, for he is evil incarnate and the spawn of satan!

                                                                                              ... who in this thread ever said that cheating is ok ?
                                                                                              That's the truly sad part. A number of questionable techniques to trick the surfer have been discussed in this thread. But many of the psuedo businessmen on this board think this is all just part of doing business and is fair and just to the consumer....If even a fraction of these practices were used in mainstream business, you would all be screaming bloody hell...

                                                                                              Here's just a few examples...

                                                                                              You join a site because it's a Mature" site. You pay your fee...go to the members area..and 99% of the content is anything but mature....Mainstream equivelent...You pay to go see the movie Harry Potter...they play Star Trek instead...both good movies, but I can guarantee that you will walk out or demand your money back. It doesn't matter if the second movie is good. That's not what you wanted to see.

                                                                                              Trials that need to be cancelled before end of trial: A mainstream equivelent: This would be similar to going to a ski hill and taking out some demos for 3 hours. But in the contract, somewhre on the 3rd page, after a bunch of other legal mumble jumble, there is a clause that says if you don't return them in 2 hours, you are charged full price for the skis. And the contract is not automatically given to you. You need to knock on a door at the back of the shop that says contract.

                                                                                              You rent a car for 2 days. Before the car is given to you, they clearly explain to you that the car needs to be back at XX time, or else you are charged for another day. On adult sites, not even in the T & C's does it ever state if a day is based on 24 hours or end of day...For example, Hustler's sites 1 day trials end at midnight. Try to find that anywhere in their terms. This goes completely against common sense.

                                                                                              Dialers...well there is a mainstream equivelent. It's called lottery scams. You know, the ones that say "dial this number to collect your prize". Unfortunately the number is an overseas number which bills you an outrageous amount per minute.


                                                                                              I'm starting to think that the reason many of you are in this business is because you simply lack the intelligence to make it in the real world.

                                                                                                  I don't think you understand what it takes to run a successful paysite since you gave up and now send all your traffic to Danny ash.

                                                                                                  and we are ranked number one on statistcian which is from a mix of traffic from what I understand.

                                                                                                    trying to justify that being a little deceptive is ok??....LMAO, well when it's all said and done, and you rest your head on your pillow, it's only YOU you have to justify to...hahahaha
                                                                                                    Some of you who "think" you have a clue, are actually, the clueless ones
                                                                                                    Welcome to the real world..

                                                                                                    I bet you fall for all those great deals from mainstream with rebates.
                                                                                                    the cell phone is only $99 after you send in your $100 rebate which most people don't.

                                                                                                    In everything you purchase there is some deceptive marketing

                                                                                                    you think all the fast food chains offer 99 cent deals not knowing your going to upgrade to a supersize for only 50 cents more your crazy.
                                                                                                    I can go on and on
                                                                                                    do you know what all those small charges are on your phonebill
                                                                                                    I bet you pay them all not knowing you don't have to. Etc.

                                                                                                    Do you ever buy DVD's from the warehouse or virgin in bold it says $19.95 in small print after you send in your rebate or buy two more movies etc.

                                                                                                    Oh and AOL's free 1000 min. CDroms they send out to everyone

                                                                                                    these are all forms of deceptive marketing to get you to use there products or there services

                                                                                                      these are all forms of deceptive marketing to get you to use there products or there services
                                                                                                      Arggghh....
                                                                                                      Rebates...these are not deceptive..nothing is hidden from the consumer...they know full well about the offer...try again

                                                                                                      .99 cent specials upsells..again not deceptive...the consumer has full disclosure...and if he chooses to upgrade, he knows the price...and he doesn't just get to try the meal for 3 days, or reguritate 24 hours before the end of 3 days or pay for a bigger meal. I personally frequent Wendy's and NEVER supersize...but I know the choice is there...and there's no confusion about what it will cost me

                                                                                                      Phone bills...again full disclosure...

                                                                                                      DVD's..yep, I agree those are sleazy..

                                                                                                      So once again you point to a couple of sleazy operations like DVD's to say...look ma, everyone is doing it....

                                                                                                      Nope...everyone is not doing it.

                                                                                                      That's the whole point..you guys don't have a fucking clue that people in the normal world don't operate this way. And the few that do...probably less then .01%...does not justify you using underhanded techniques...

                                                                                                      This is pointless....and you are making my head hurt....

                                                                                                      I've always been amazed by criminals they show on A & E, who are trying to get parolled...but don't have the common sense to understand that what they did was wrong...It's all getting clearer now...
