    Not f'ing cool

    Man what a day! I take a look at some micro niches that I push
    (wondering why I haven't gotten any checks recently) and find
    that on one VERY focused feeder site that 2 of 3 of the sponsors
    are screwing around.

    1st. Changed billing companies months ago without telling the
    affiliates. Cool setup with the new processor, take some
    "exclusive" content to get back into the swing of things. Find
    out today they're over riding the REVSHARE variable.
    (probably an over sight, but they are a sizable op and should
    be able to setup a join link, but 4 months later...)

    2nd. Changed billing companies recently. Didn't notify affiliates.
    STILL has the affiliate signup pointed to the OLD processor.
    (a well known guy here)

    Make sure you double check and make weekly site reviews if
    you are going to use micro niche sites that the big guys just
    consider their "hobby sites". I figure I'm out about $1300 on
    just the 1 feeder site. I haven't gotten to the traffic stats on
    the rest, I'm still to upset to look.

    That sucks, Idiot.

    I don't get why an affiliate program would ever pll that kind of shit (especially "#2") ... just losing money for everyone.

        Both I would promote their standard sites in a second without
        worries. Micro niche, they get dollar signs in their eyes. Find
        out they don't know the niche, then don't bother to treat
        the affiliates that do know the niche like they matter.

        No wonder one was trying to off load the site recently...
        (Should have been a warning there, but I was seeing the odd old
        rebill.)

        Support on a saturday is next to nill, so I'm left with a traffic
        leak of pure SE/LL of pervs that know exactly what they want.
