    There are a lot more details to come guys! Once we have a couple of other things finished up we'll be rolling out some new ARS stuff as well as announcements and information regarding all the changes.

    ARS has always been committed to webmasters and with these changes will continue to show our committment. Any changes we make will have both our future and our webmasters' future in mind!

    I can already feel the excitement. Outside of the ARS announcements we have a new staff member that I'm excited to have on board. We'll make that announcement at the same time!

            Marc, what's the ETA of the announcements?
            I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
            I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                Will this result in same level of income for someone who converts 1:60 with your program?

                        The answer would be probably "no, the changes will result in even more income for you, $5 submissions".

                                The changes have been developed to produce the same or more income. I can't guarantee anything. However, I can say in confidence that the changes will give ARS longevity and show we can make difficult decisions at difficult times (obviously ceasing our relationship with AskCS.com / GIM and their current portfolio of sites was HUGE) to be around and provide top notch service and commissions in an ever changing market.

                                The new products coming are AMAZING. The level of quality being provided to the consumers should result in a better overall market. Also a much more reasonable billing / pricing scheme.

                                More info to come... Announcement will happen sometime today. I don't have an exact time.

                                    I just wanted to spend some of my reward points on a new Dell system and now I get a page saying the reward store will be closed untill may 1st.

                                    This is also on that page:
                                    "All points in the ARSRewards.com system will be valued at $0.10 each. All current points in the current system will be multiplied by 1.5 and then revalued at the $0.10 each. In order to get your points transferred, you must send a signup to a site in the ARS 4 Real portfolio within 30 days of 2/23/04. If you do not, you will lose your current points."

                                    Sure if you promote them 1 sale won't be hard but if you are not activly promoting them at the moment and don't know about this you could lose all your points.

                                        SR - that is all part of the official announcements coming today. We will be sending out a special newsletter to discuss all the exciting and PROACTIVE changes coming to ARS.

                                            Ars/silvercash is like the ccbill/epoch of sponsors in terms of reliability. The members areas may have sucked but you could always rely on a check from ARS with even a trickle of targeted traffic. Same with Silvercash.

                                            I remember when Silvercash sent out that email discontinuing the .11 per click program a couple of years ago. They chose to discontinue the program rather than keep paying per click and then break out with your dough in the end like Smutcash/Wowcash did around that same time...I was a broke ass struggling muthafucka back then and when Smutcash stuck me for that $300 and change, I was screwed for a bill I needed to pay. I'll never forget them for that.

                                            So if ARS is changing something, it must mean that they're making sure that the dollars keep rolling in....

                                            If I likethe new stuff that ARS has, i might promote them again.

                                                                Let me get this straight

                                                                You continue to get points

                                                                                        Saw this coming last year and redeemed my points...I'm just surprised how ARS did it...I was thinking they'd likely just keep increase the reward stores prices until slowly the points became near worthless, not actually close the entire store like they did.

                                                                                        And it get's worse...some quotes from the ARS Reward Store:

                                                                                        All points in the ARSRewards.com system will be valued at $0.10 each. All current points in the current system will be multiplied by 1.5 and then revalued at the $0.10 each. In order to get your points transferred, you must send a signup to a site in the ARS 4 Real portfolio within 30 days of 2/23/04. If you do not, you will lose your current points.
                                                                                        Many folks will be caught by surprise...however, it appears ARS is likely running very tight on cash and is seeking ways of reducing costs - and the sudden shutdown is further indication, at least in my view, of how dire things may be...

                                                                                        Closing the ARS Reward Store is a VERY BAD PR move...but perhaps ARS figures, since few new webmasters are joining up these days, the PR hit doesn't matter overall...ARS will likely make sure the "big" folks (ie those doing over 50/SU per day) are still taken care of and likely feels the tradeoff of some PR for cash savings is worthwhile.

                                                                                        Ron

                                                                                            ARS has always been committed to webmasters and with these changes will continue to show our committment. Any changes we make will have both our future and our webmasters' future in mind!

                                                                                            I can already feel the excitement. Outside of the ARS announcements we have a new staff member that I'm excited to have on board. We'll make that announcement at the same time!

                                                                                                And what is wrong with that?
                                                                                                As long as they announce it ( in the news, in emails etc. ) everyone will be aware of this.
                                                                                                If someone is a serious webmasters and got lots of points, he should simply send 1 sale within a month.
                                                                                                If someone is a small webmaster he might not be able to send that 1 sale, but that also means that he doesn't have much points accumulated so he doesn't lose anything

I think what some of the restless warriors are worried about the change in the point system and what the points buy later is going to more devaluatiion then they can handle with no real notice since the store has been shut down as of today and many may not realize this.

                                                                                                                            So the points are valued at .10 now what were they valued at before?

                                                                                                                            Not that it matters, I think they just want to talk about this area in more detail with you.

We've heard of the New Visa limits but no word on anybody getting hit hard by them. If you did, it may be a serve as a good example for others in the industry to shape up and take a new approach to treating members.

The old models of paying $40 per $1 join are gone and people will have to change.

We looked up an account today and found that in the last two years we had a guy take our trial over 20 different times. They know how to cheat the system. Now imagine if he is using a link code each time. The affiliate program makes about $1 for each time he signed up and payed out $40 each time.... WOW.... killer loss

Losing money with this model did! There are many reasons that the change we're making will be made by many. Chargebacks may be an influence to others to wake up and see that this model is grossly unprofitable (that model being cookie cutter, ultra niched sites with sub standard content, high priced, multiple cross sells).

                                                                                                                                                                                I'm in the business of making money while paying out good commissions to get more business. Obviously our 'current' situation doesn't allow that!

We've always found it odd that you've got a number of really kick ass paysites on the web and they are always independant companies. Most companies have either focused on the Quality of the Paysite or Making the Webmaster more money.

They almost always have substandard cookie cutter backends. It would be interesting to see one that combines both.

We've always found it odd that you've got a number of really kick ass paysites on the web and they are always independant companies. Most companies have either focused on the Quality of the Paysite or Making the Webmaster more money.
