      And I'm sure there will be 50 more in the coming year.

      The question is whether up and coming companies are learning from these mistakes.

          But from all the time I've spent with webmaster programs in my years of work, that one defintely left the most sour taste in my mouth. This is specifically because I remember starting a thread or two about them years ago and a I got a lot of responses saying that TrafficInc was run by some good people over at netpond and that they could be trusted . I heard that again and again. And then I got fucked. Well fuck the people who ran TrafficInc

              Xpics has always paid me. (at least what their statistics showed they owed me )

                      It was just too good to be true, I think they paid like 20 cent per click.

                      Still I started sending traffic like the other thousand people they scammed.

                            We are peeking all the time to U.S.A. and compare our partner program(s) with others(only a handful of our webmasters are working on the U.S. market).

                            We are located in Europe/Germany and sure, markets are different but we came to the conclusion that if you pay your webmaster 40 bucks for a free trial you must cheat or have a lot of money for wasting - here and there.

                            imho there is so much crap out there that will feed this thread the next years...

                            I think today the biggest flop here in Germany is the dialer.

                            It is not dead, but almost.

                                  I had over $500 in their stats, and weeks later I got a check for another account I had with them for around $40!
                                  I still have it scanned somewhere.

                                        I couldn't have said it better myself. I for 1 change personal email addys yearly just to get rid of the spam and start fresh. Think of how many regular surfers do the same.

                                              BAHAHAHA, maybe you need a better definition of flop:

                                              Flop: Program goes tits up, runs and hides, doesn't pay webmasters.

                                                    I wouldn't call Seth a rise and fall. Seth was scum from the start. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still in the adult business scamming people/customers from what ever couuntry he lives in now.

                                                          But from all the time I've spent with webmaster programs in my years of work, that one defintely left the most sour taste in my mouth. This is specifically because I remember starting a thread or two about them years ago and a I got a lot of responses saying that TrafficInc was run by some good people over at netpond and that they could be trusted . I heard that again and again. And then I got fucked. Well fuck the people who ran TrafficInc
                                                          Exactly right.

                                                          I put them on my network blacklist back then, and it wasn't long until I got an email from Anthony from netpond saying that although he and netpond were not directly affiliated with trafficinc, he would look into getting me my money from them.


                                                          ... never heard a word back from him again.



                                                          The traffic inc program died very quickly once most of us realized we were being fucked, but they deigned to leave their site up, obviously to suck in more newbies.


                                                          I would say they were a major flop in one aspect, but they probably made some serious bank on their scam before it finally died. Fuckers. I think they were out of vancouver, and if any of you fuckers are here, I have a hail and hearty "FUCK YOU" for ya.

                                                                      I put them on my network blacklist back then, and it wasn't long until I got an email from Anthony from netpond saying that although he and netpond were not directly affiliated with trafficinc, he would look into getting me my money from them.


                                                                      ... never heard a word back from him again.



                                                                      The traffic inc program died very quickly once most of us realized we were being fucked, but they deigned to leave their site up, obviously to suck in more newbies.


                                                                      I would say they were a major flop in one aspect, but they probably made some serious bank on their scam before it finally died. Fuckers. I think they were out of vancouver, and if any of you fuckers are here, I have a hail and hearty "FUCK YOU" for ya.
