The sponsor actually allows this as part of their billing process though. You can't deny that.
So the real issue is that sponsors make such an option available, but don't want surfers to know it's there to be used in a manner that gets them free or low-cost porn.
Point being, the option is there no matter how you look at it. That's why there has to be something added to sponsor terms that deals with surfer intentions in terms of trials. Because it's just not there right now.
One last question for you...do you want to pay out $33 on a free trial that cancels because the sales page you were directed from says to? If so give me a linking code and I will have mass traffic flowing to you in 5 minutes!

Do not get me started on my usual, common sense, oh so true lecture as to why sponsors do not need affiliates and how if every sponsor killed their program they would make more money.
It usually causes the natives to start lighting fires and putting big cookpots on top of them so that when they catch me they can cook me alive and throw the parts to the pigs.

I've been shaved enough to know. Either they steal your traffic and send it off to some pop-up hell or they shave the stats directly. I didn't want to believe it myself but I started messing around with doing my own programs and lo and behold, the exact same traffic was converting at 1:15 or so. Hmmm...
That's not research, that?s assumption, granted based on some personal experience. You could go so far as to say it were an educated guess but it's hardly a fact that has been properly researched. I was hoping for numbers, charts, diagrams, spreadsheets, evidence ya know to back up such a Bold Ass Statement.
Here is the thing......of all the sponsors in our biz.. WEG is certainly top 5%. They don't fuck people. Well, let me clarify that. They HAVE NOT fucked people in the past, but since the Supreme Court ruled today that sodomy is now legal, you might want to stay behind Gabe if you know what I mean.
Bottom line is this..you can argue about the TOS all day long. Some of you will say he violated it, some will say he didn't. What is VERY clear is that he DID violate the spirit of the agreement. He understands how both sides make money and he intentionally exploited that knowledge. I have been in front of enough judges to know that 10 times out of 10, the SPIRIT of a contract carries far more weight than the WORDS of a contract.
You tried to exploit the system for your financial gain and WEG's detriment. You got caught. Man up and move on.
America has voted and WEG moves on to the next round. You have been eliminated.

see man, Gabe wanted to borrow my lambo to make a beer run, but of course he can't drive worth a shit, so he ended pulling up to far on the parking curb and scratched my paint.
He freaked out and called O.J. who told him to frame someone, so your name was pulled from fishbowl full of webmaster accounts to bilk for $5k. ***
So I guess it's my fault
***=this post is more than likely untrue, I would never use the word lambo

It seems your argument is getting shot full of holes, it's looking like swiss cheese already. You might want to give it up.
Playing the supposin' game here......... what if Wegcash had've casually switched his account over to a partnership with a paid trial? I have a sneaking suspicion that you'd be here griping about how nasty and underhanded that was too.

I actually want to be on the side of the sponsors. I want to believe that they (sponsors in general) are as pure as the driven snow. I just can't anymore. I suppose I've tried about as many sponsors as the next guy (hundreds perhaps) and I'm down to two or three and all they get is leftover traffic from ancient sites. I guess I just got pissed off one time too many and that combined with the success of doing my own stuff has left me somewhat jaded. This might sound stupid but when I saw the ratios I was getting at my own stuff compared to what I was getting at sponsors, I really felt betrayed. It immediately became crystal clear what had been going on.
where the fuck do people get off saying 99% of sponsors fuck them over. If you truly felt that way, dont use sponsors...its simple.
But i think you'll find 99% of all the other webmasters out there are more than happy to make serious coin through programs set up to benefit the webmaster.
Be in that 1% that sets up thei own sites, and drives trasfic to those and i bet you never make as much coin.

Bullshit. First off I dont believe you were getting 1/15 on a regular paysite, but I'm not going to debate that.
There is a percentage of cheaters in the world. By definition, a percentage means that the same percentage of people that are sponsors, resellers and surfers are all cheaters.
However, the volume numbers change since there are infinitely more resllers than sponsors and that many more surfers than resellers.
Thus its a pyramid, and the % remains the same across the board.
So unless you are willing to say that 99% of resellers AND 99% of surfers are cheaters, you are WAY off in your numbers.
It just amazes me how these suppositions come to be known as some sort of fact, by anyone, when if you looked at simple economics and some statistical analysis you would see that there is not one possible way your figures are correct.

Look, it's pretty simple, follow the rules and life will be just fine.
If we were actually out to cheat everyone we wouldnt stay in business.
We are paying on the join, we want to surfer to stay. What business since does it make to tell they guy to cancel after you get paid?
Thats great, he makes his cash and we get screwed? Forget that noise.
Actually I like the Gabe scratched my paint story better, it makes better reading.
Oh one more post to ad...The mail came just not :-D Guess whos Check was on time :-D

So unless you are willing to say that 99% of resellers AND 99% of surfers are cheaters, you are WAY off in your numbers.
you're right damn near all the time but I must disagree with this statement....Unlike a reseller, a surfer doesn't make his living off of porn signups..He has nobody (except maybe his wife) to answer to for participating in porn...And on top of that, a surfer doesn't have to worry about paying somebody else due to a signup....
I don't believe that 99% of sponsors are cheaters but I know it can't be the same percentage as the percentage of dishonest surfers.....The motivations are completely different....
And that point CDsmith made earlier was the most valid point of the thread...If he was promoting a 50/50 revshare, there is NO WAY IN HELL he would put up a page like that telling people to cancel...

It's not a regular paysite and I certainly don't expect that ratio to hold. The traffic is highly filtered right now but within the next few months that will change in favor of volume. Still have some bugs to work out in terms of pricing etc.

Well, it's a known fact that 73 % of sponsors shave. Some have beards, and a few of the females are European, but other than that there is some major shaving going on!
Oh, and the national divorce rate is hovering at 51%, but I hear that 28% of those are actually avoidable, but if the divorce rate drops for some strange reason the murder rate goes up by the same amount.

It's also a well known fact that 62.5% of all statistics are made up on the fly
Oh...and Shok...I had forgotten all about that nasty bidet incident. That was the beginning of the end of the NatNet hospitality suite...

Ah BVF, I generally agree with your logic, but you missed one very very important point in this math --
So called friendly fraud is the way that surfers cheat. Has nothing to do with payouts and signups, it has to do with how many times they can rip off the site owners or the copywrite holders...
If I say Kazaa does that make it more understandable? These surfers KNOW they are stealing, and yet they do. Just like people who bootleg songs and software are very aware of what they are doing wrong.
The guy who's a terminal refund and/or chargeback is another surfer that's cheating.
Very micro-niche, almost all softcore, very few movies, no plug-ins or feeds or anything like that. I just give them what they want and it seems to work out just fine.
Maybe WEGCASH is a great company , but in this case they didnt handle this situation like a great company should.
I openly admit that I shouldnt have told the user that they could cancel their membership , but those sign ups summed up to roughly 300$...why should I lose the other 5000$ ?
The reason why u are still getting traffic from the account is because the pages are still up onsome TGPs....so I dont modify them.
You guys have your opinions and points....and so do I .
I never disrespected any of you ....same cant be said about you, if you'd lose 5000$ would you like if on top of that you dont get explanatioon and get the phone hung up on ur face ?
