I got accused of cheating by Brad Shaw's program, Amateur Beaver -- I had a banner to them at the top of my site -- that month I sent them 22,000+ clickthroughs -- but I also had some of their free content on the same page -- and according to their rules you have to have a link back to their program if you are using their content (text link program) -- I had this set up w/ the name of the model pointing to their text link program -- anyway they didn't pay me and they accused me of cheating... I don't know what happened -- maybe one of their employees visited my site and was not familiar w/ their own rules about using their text link program along w/ the free content -- after many emails, phone calls, and basically a lot lies and other bullshit they said they would pay me for the signups that I sent... They claimed that I only sent them TWO signups out of 22,000 clickthroughs. Which is total bullshit (I converted 1:450 on their program the following month when they switched stats programs) -- anyway I had been using Shaw Internet programs almost since I started (that was over two years I had been using their programs) -- they were paying me thousands of dollars each month -- and what do I get? Is there any loyalty? -- one time I called them and before they hung up they started laughing. That really pissed me off -- if you are going to pay me $50,000 a year come on you should at least know my name and be professional... I don't care how many boats you have or how rich you are...

It's always nice to have personal friends that run their own paysites -- then you don't have to worry so much...

In any case it's their loss -- I now send all that traffic to Amateur Pages. I think if you ask most webmasters that know me -- they would tell you that I play by the rules and I stick to them -- also I've had other webmasters tell me that my traffic converts well. To me it's not just about money -- give people the respect they deserve and don't second guess someone -- otherwise you will have a lot of enemies...
