    _Adult.com's 70% shave off_

    <b><font size="4">Claim:</font></b> Adult.com shaves enormous amount of our sign ups.<br>
    <br>
    <b><font size="4">Background:</font></b> We were promoting AmateurPages.com - site of adult.com by
    redirecting type-in traffic using frame redirection that the domain name
    registrar - enom.com provides&nbsp; from many domain names including uncensored.com,
    uhoh.com, grils.com, amatuerpages.com(with adult.com?s permission) and other
    domains to AmateurPages.com<br>
    <br>
    We started promoting them in July 2003. At that time, the subscription price was
    $29.95 per sign up. <br>
    Adult.com was offering a 71% revenue share from all sign ups
    you generate. <br>
    Statistics including tracking and payment processing were being
    handled by a third party ? iBill.com. <br>
    Our traffic, according to
    <a href="http://www.royalwhois.com/images/fu_lensman.htm">screenshots</a> was
    generating an average of 5-7 sign ups a day (see yourself for an exact number).<br>
    <br>
    On October 2003, adult.com has lowered the subscription price for
    AmateurPages.com 3 times from $29.95 to $9.95.<br>
    They changed the affiliate program as well from 71% revenue share to $25 pay per
    sign up.<br>
    They took over the statistics tracking and from that point all sales were being
    tracked by adult.com.<br>
    We were sending the same amount and quality traffic from the same traffic domain
    names but our conversion ratio dropped several times.<br>
    <br>
    Since the price was lowered 3 times, conversion should have risen. Even if we
    assume that the surfer didn't react positively on the price drop, <b>how could
    it react negatively that conversion dropped several times?</b> Even then, lets
    assume further that surfer reacted negatively, which is not any realistic, <b>
    why would adult.com keep the $9.95 price if it converted 3-4 times worse when
    they could have changed the price back at any time?</b> I believe the price drop
    didn't have a bad impact on conversion ratios but the problem was that Lensman
    was now deflating the number of sales webmasters generate.<br>
    <br>
    <b><font size="4">Findings:</font></b> When this analysis was posted on the
    board, Lensman showed up deleted post(s) and making 3 statements:<br>

    fluke.<br>
    <br>
    Regarding your shaving accusation, you are totally full of shit. <br>
    <br>
    The stats from August are from a different processor and a different period.
    They are from trails and rebills, and your second stats are non-trials and a
    very limited time period. <br>
    <br>
    Your are cordially invited to visit our offices and look at our systems and
    code, we have nothing to hide.<br>
    <br>
    And it's pretty low to do this shit, if it's even real, Miln. </b></p>

    1. <b>&quot;It does look like your traffic from 1-5 to 1-7 has a problem, I'm not
    sure if our engineers fucked something up while we all were in Vegas. Or maybe
    it's a fluke.&quot; - </b>Lensman admits that the claim is true - the stats are
    unrealistic. Making several assumptions of flukes or a possible screw up on
    their part.</p>
    <p>2. <b>&quot;And it's pretty low to do this shit, if it's even real, Miln.&quot; </b>-
    Admits that it's pretty low reveal shaving sponsors even if they are real and
    probably not low to shave your own affiliates.<br>

    <p><u>^ <b>First bullshit</b></u> Lensman tries to pull to dilute our claim of
    shaving. He has our name and our company name in his system as we are one of his
    affiliates. I'm not a fake character, he knows I've been promoting
    AmateurPages.com from June and sent 1000s of sign ups to that site. He has our
    company name, address and phone number. <br>
    <br>
    <br>
    One day later he comes with another post.<br>

    <br>
    His site is down right now, but here is the Google Cache:<br>
    <br>
    <a target="_blank" style="color: #CCCCFF" href="http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:https://www.amatuerpages.com/"><br /...pages.com/</a><br>

    <br>
    Look at the page, he is started opening

    That's cheating. He gets the exit traffic, not us. That's not the deal.<br>
    <br>
    HE TRYS TO SCAM US, then when our system does the right thing, he calls us

    1. <b>&quot;Look at the page, he is started opening

    <a href="http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:www.amatuerpages.com/">source of
    google cache for amatuerpages.com</a> you will not find any frame set. You will
    find one frame - frame traffic redirection that points to our AmateurPages.com
    affiliate link.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    2. <b>&quot;The master domain is amatuerpages.com, not amateurpages.com. THEREFORE
    OUR JOIN COOKIES will not read his traffic.&quot; <u>&lt;The Third Bullshit </u></b>
    Lensman tries to make. If that was the case, how come for over 3 month their
    system was recording our sales including the
    <a href="http://www.royalwhois.com/images/shaven0.gif">screenshotted sales </a>
    for January 2004 ? It also recorded hundreds of our sales from Oct 2003 to Dec
    2003.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    3.<b> &quot;That's cheating. He gets the exit traffic, not us. That's not the deal.&quot;
    <u>&lt; The Forth Bullshit</u></b> Lensman tries to make. If you know html, or copy
    and past the
    <a href="http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:www.amatuerpages.com/">source of
    google cache for amatuerpages.com</a> into your HTML editor, you will see that
    there is one frame and all traffic goes to AmateurPages.com affiliate program,
    therefore it's not possible to affect exit traffic in any way. Moreover the
    redirection is being done trough eNom.com, there is no hosted page on the
    domain.</p>
    </font>
    <p>4. <b>&quot;HE TRYS TO SCAM US, then when our system does the right thing, he
    calls us shavers!&quot; <u>&lt; The Fifth Bullshit</u> </b>Lensman tries to make. As you
    can see above,
    <a href="http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:www.amatuerpages.com/">source of
    google cache for amatuerpages.com</a> showes no FRAMESET as Lensman claims and
    no exit traffic could have been possibly manipulated therefore no one scammed
    them. He thinks that <b>&quot;their system does the right thing&quot;</b> which is an
    obvious shaving.<br>
    <br>
    <b>Q. Why Lensman will try to make so many bullshits ?<br>
    A. He tries to hide his scam, otherwise he wouldn't bother.<br>
    <br>
    Q. Until what time will adult.com resolve on <a href="http://www.thieves.com">
    Thieves.com</a>?<br>
    A. Until they show the real stats and pay us all the difference they have stolen
    from us.<br>
    <br>
    Q. I have some information to add to this story. How do I proceed?<br>
    A. If you have hard evidence of adult.com's illegal activities, contact us,
    we'll cover the cost of the lawsuit and all corresponding expenses.</b><br>

                            Am I the only one who is laughing my ass off at this?

                            Mlin2, I sure as hell hope you have more solid proof then hearsay and screenshots of stats to back up the wild accusations you've made.

                            It's blatantly obvious you haven't contacted a lawyer concerning any of this, and it's blatantly obvious you never will. Any self-respecting lawyer worth his fee would not take this without solid proof, and if for some reason he did, he'd advise to keep your mouth shut tight and not say a word about this case.

                            By repeatedly libeling Lensman and his program, you're only inviting trouble onto yourself.

                            If you were serious about this, you'd keep your mouth shut, stay off this forum and keep quiet until the case was decided by a judge.

                            Instead, you've decided to be very unprofessional and resort to childish tactics such as calling Lensman gay. You may be young at 20 years old, but you should be old enough to understand how immature and stupid your name calling makes you look.

                            I also hope your supposed lawyer is better at english than you are.

                              I hope he sues you ass for defimation and slander since you have not recieved a judgment of any knid against lens or adult.com.


                              But i see from the many many bullshits tha you no speka da engrish so he probably wont be able to sue your punk ass.

                                  Do you know who Mlin2 is? Whether he is full of shit or telling the truth, who knows, but there is little doubt he has talked to a lawyer or several about this.

                                      dude, we all understand your concern about your $
                                      and you have the right to THINK he shaves

                                      but to make a thread like this showing all the "proof" is just stupid, you are only making assumptions, no real facts

                                            Whatever he makes a good argument , but still one that should have been handled privately.

                                            And the proof is fairly small , there are all sorts of things that can drop your ratios. Lensman fucked up a few times by saying things he shouldnt have , but that doesnt mean adult.com shaves.

                                            If my ratio's dropped of the chart for a month i would have already switched sponsors shaved or unshaved.

                                                  your page does use an hahahahahaha.. if his sites do use cookies.. it probably woudn't track your sales because of the frame.. could be easily fixed by adult.com by adding teh script something like if top.location != body.location then top.location = body.location something like that to break out of the frame

                                                      This is no proof of shaving but come on, there is something wrong somewhere....could be on his side or adult.coms side and probably not done on purpose. Stop bashing this guy, you would be pissed off as well if this would happen to you regardless whos fault it is.

                                                        Any of you could be on our place, not to mention that we send quite a bit of sign ups to them.

                                                        I guess no affiliate would want to hear multiple bullshits instead of the agreement to pay what he is iwed.

                                                              they could have changed the price back at any time?
                                                              because adult.com still gets $40+ from the surfer with a prechecked cross-sale, but i think you don't get credit for that. do the math

I don't know if this is true or not, but to have a vibrant and open forum the only threads that should be removed are truly offensive ones (though given the domain name I think this may not apply here) or openly encourage illegal activity.

                                                                          No threads have been deleted, all you have to do is change the the thread number incrementally in GFY to see that no threads have been deleted.

                                                                          This Mlin clown is a cheater who tried to override our software. I PROVED IT. That's why he took his site down before the posts. But Googles cache doesn't lie.
