ARS having cash issues. Reward Orders over 1 month delayed!!!

06-05-2004, 02:28 PM

Looks like ARS is having some SERIOUS issues.....they still havent managed to send out or confirm my reward order from May 4th, 2004! They have a backlog of some 500+ rewards to give out now and are getting to the point where they are now giving lower priority to webmasters who've stopped sending traffic but still have points and overdue reward orders!

I'd be really wary if you're still promoting ARS...proceed with caution.

Check out the following, for example, posted on their boards by one of their staff. Still on the 3rd after 10 days!! Does it really take 10 days to send out orders from just one day?

Date: Fri, 21 May 2004 10:38:00 -0700
Your order was received in the orde queue on the 19th and I am currently
making orders for the 3rd, this will give you an idea of how backed up
we are.

Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2004 11:10:48 -0700
It will be a while yet, I am still working on the orders that came in on
the 3rd.

Your thread title is very misleading. They are behind on their rewards, not cash. If they weren't paying affiliates, there would have a shit storm.

Didn't they put a hold on the program a couple months back so that they can get structured and reorganized?

And to everyone that says "be happy you're getting free stuff!", don't kid yourself. The rewards program was created as an incentive to send traffic to ARS and not other programs. It isn't just "free stuff", it's part of payment and anyone wondering where their reward items are is perfectly justified.

I agree, I think he has a right to complain, even though the title was a bit misleading. It shouldn't take a month to send out the orders for a single day.

WTF?? It's free! Do we know what FREE means? It means they chose to give you a perk, they are not obligated to do it. Checks come, who cares about freebies!!!!!

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

ARS changed their sites in an attempt to "make things better" for themselves. In the process they lowered webmaster payouts and stopped giving credit for traffic being sent to their old sites. Looking at it from a webmaster perspective, these changes were not for the better.

Whats most lame, is they are not even doing anything unique. They are simply copying a business model that has already been done by every other sponsor out there.

This is my interpretation of ARS...

Very true. Add that to the fact that they didn't even give notice of what they were going to do when they had the opportunity to do so. ARS is a bad choice to send traffic to. They will most likely screw you over eventually.

Do you even know what the fuck happened? The old sites were never ARS sites to begin with, they were simply marketing them for GIM. Once they severed their relationship with GIM they could no longer market those sites and had to produce their own. They didn't fuck over anyone, they gave plenty of notice as to when their contract was up with GIM and affiliates would no longer be able to market them. Funny how you are scolding others for not knowing what they are talking about when you seem completely clueless on the situation.

Bullshit, they gave over 2 months notice to their webmasters as to when they would no longer be paying on the old GIM sites.

Sounds like you have not been around too long if you think that is where the timeline really starts for those sites and their relationship to each other.

Been with ARS since the beginning and am fully aware of their relationship with GIM, where did I talk about their history timeline in my previous post?

I dont care if they were marketing sites for GIM or Pope John Paul II. That doesnt change the fact that they made a business decision which screwed over thousands of webmasters. Do you think webmasters that built 100's of AVS sites, 100's of TGP galleries, 100's of free site galleries promoting ARS websites did not feel like they were screwed over once they heard the news that ARS was shutting down all their old sites? I cant believe you have the nerve to say "They didnt fuck over anyone".
