    Hi ... Your Platinum Bucks account #### has been closed due to having a well below average conversion ratio.

    You WILL be paid for all signups to date, but please remove all links.

    I have been with Platinumbucks for almost a year and made lots of money. Sure my clicks are not high but I make the sales.

    MERRY FUCKEN CHRISTMAS!!

      what is well below average exactly?
      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, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
      Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

          I don't see any problem here... basically they identified that they were unable to make a profit with you and needed to end the business relationship in order to remain profitable. You are being paid every penny owed until that email, so what's wrong?

            I just wonder if they pay per sale, how would conversion ratio have anything to do with how much profit they make?

                That happened to me with WEG Cash a long time ago, I wasn't getting enough upsells from my j4f traffic now that I know a bit more, I wish I could promote them again :\

                  Was that the best answer they could come up with?

                  Maybe they aren't making enough from your exit traffic, since your conversion is so good......

                    How can remain profitable be when I make sales at 1:400 with them? that's pretty normal.

                    I don't get it but I will remove all there links.

                      Its probably your trial to full memberships..

                      lots of webmasters will play games and have people signup, teach them to cancel etc..

                      we have been studying our numbers a lot harder..

                      if you sent 50 trials..and 48 of them cancel..they aint gonna make their money back..

                        They're probably referring to conversions from trial to full members.

                          See above, conversions from trial to full members is most likely the case.

                              so you were converting like 1:500 atleast and you got canned? bummer. guess they want better filtered traffic than that.

                              good thing nasty dollars don't care. i make a lot of money with them, but my conversion ratio is shit.

                                  Im not that low. I know the rules on this industry. I don't tell any surfer how to cancel their membership. That would be silly.

                                  Fuck this, all links have been removed. Time to move on.

                                  Funny how only the other day Platinum Dave was asking me to add more of their sites like college fuck tour to my sites because I was making the sales, now he closed it. Fucken great asshole.

                                      Do you see a problem with them selling off our webmaster email addresses to spammers? Because I just got spammed for the fourth time in the last 24 hours to my Platinum Bucks email address. Yesterday my New Car was preauthorized from Fast Lane Loans twice, and today my New MasterCard was just authorized twice, as well.

                                      It's nice to know who keeps our info confidential.

                                                      This is the email i only got a week ago, now it looks personal to me but it could have been a mass email to all their members, so did anyone else get this?

                                                      I bolded and sized the most imported part of this email

                                                      Hey Dean,

                                                      Doug here again (re account ####). Well, another month has slid by. You were able to bring in a couple of sales, which is fantastic. But I KNOW we can do better!

                                                      Obviously you have a lot of space to fill with the scope of your sites, and I?ve noticed you?re missing one of our top converters . . . www.collegefucktour.com. Beyond that, everything looks good. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line . . . I?m here to answer any questions you have about our programs, our top converting sites or even the weather here in Toronto. Never hesitate to contact me . . .

                                                            Zorgman your account was closed because your conversion ratio from TRIAL to MEMBER was 19% compared to our company wide 35-37%

                                                            When we see numbers this low, we eventually find out the webmaster is cheating. In this case we didnt find anything so we paid you in FULL.

                                                            We told you we would pay you, so I dont see what the problem is here?

                                                              lots of webmasters will play games and have people signup, teach them to cancel etc..

                                                              we have been studying our numbers a lot harder..

                                                              if you sent 50 trials..and 48 of them cancel..they aint gonna make their money back..
                                                              I think that keeping the member should fall on the sponsor. If their quality is shit, and they do one update a month, no one is going to stay a member. That isn't our fault. My job is to get them hard and to the join page... After that, they are in the sponsors hands.

                                                                I agree with you BlueFly, it's not the webmasters job to make sure the surfer continues their membership.

                                                                In this case it's Platinum Bucks that should look at their own sites and stop blaming people (like me) that don't have any interaction with their members.

                                                                Dave said he couldn't find any form of me cheating (which I don't) and yet he still cancelled my account.

                                                                I accept the fact that some webmasters cheat sponsors out of cash and when the proof it shown then it's good but there is no proof here, this was done on a whim!

                                                                        2) why didn't you address Holly's question regarding spam?


                                                                        That said, Platinum Bucks and other PPS programs have the right to terminate somebody whose traffic doesn't convert from trial better than 30%. If the sites in the program are converting from trial poorly across all affiliates then yeah there's a problem with the sites themselves and they won't be in business much longer.

                                                                        this is a trend even with good sites, retention isn't great - at some point pay per signup commissions will have to drop to $20 max. At that point I think you'll see a stampede to revshare programs with exclusive content - it will be a psychological trigger I think - people just can't accept $15 or $20 per signup after years of $30 to $45 per signup.

                                                                                  Not saying you are, but PB severed with pay, and thats about best case scenario.

Hell no, if a paysite cant retain the surfers that a webmaster sends to the site, you dont punish the webmaster for it.

This is not about taking sides, what I'm saying is that a guy like Zorg is a pretty good webmaster as far as I've ever been able to tell. Wouldn't it have been a better idea to "work with him" a bit rather than simply cutting him loose?

                                                                                                It's not that hard to email a guy and say "Look, we are having problems converting your traffic from trial to full. In order to prevent the deletion of your account with us, we are willing to work with you to improve the performance of your referred members."......

                                                                                                and go from there.

It would be nice to see sponsors at least attempting to be a bit more reasonable and understanding about these things.
