(I posted this on the jimmy3way your a cocksucker thread but I thought it would be better suited to be posted here) here it is sorry for the double post, but you affiliates need to wake the f$uck up, it will get to a point to where it destroys the affiliate model completely)
Removing access to previous months stats at the same time this broke is pretty much a sure bet they know what they have done and trying to hide it.
I was up till 1:30 last night reading the thread and it blows my mind that there is so much shaving going on in the adult industry... We have been shutting down bad programs for years for not paying webmasters, mostly main stream accounts but some adult.
What really gets my goat is that some of you actually accept as part of life!?!?! Since when did cheating or stealing become an acceptable policy for affiliate programs.
I started selling affiliate tracking software 6 years ago and we have never made it easy for webmasters to cheat affiliates. I've said I know over a hundred times it that it gives us all a bad name.
From the the posts I was reading last night it was a 25/75 split on who accepted and who did not accept the shaving. 1% is too much for my taste.
The higher payouts in a fierce competition to gain affiliates is what has caused this. The higher the payouts went, the more shaving that needs to be done just to stay in business. Until affiliates wake the f$ck up and see just how much they are being shitted it will keep happening.
I know I'm not going to make any new friends with major sponsors paying enormous payouts but I'm in this for the long run and I will never want to be associated with someone that shits on their affiliates period.
For those of you interested we will be sponsoring the xbiz awards and if you want to party please email me.
Sorry GFY's I don't post here often, actually hadn't posted anywhere in a couple of weeks. (I take that back I posted to one of JFK's post a while back) I actually started this reply two damn hours ago and I'm just getting ready to submit it. It has been something ever damn two minutes this morning. I had to post my two
on this though. If something is not done it is going to keeping eroding to the point of no return, that is if we haven't reached it yet.
