Hello,
I've been monitoring your site recently, but the traffic you send us does not generate enough sales, and we can't afford to purchase your traffic by click anymore. We have transferred your click through account to our sign up program. Starting on December 28th at 0:00 EST, you will no longer be paid for the traffic itself, but you will be paid 25$ flat per sign up generated by your traffic. For more information about our sign up program and for all details, please go at
http://www.gammacash.com/terms.html
You keep the same advertiser's account number, so you do NOT have to change your links on your pages; the only thing that has changed is your pay out which is now 25$/signup. Also, you ARE getting paid the money you made in the click program; please look at the unpaid balance to know the amount.
Please note that in the sign up program, you are allowed to send us traffic anyway you want, with or without our banners: you can
send blind hits, link thumbnails, use pop ups, etc. as long as we don't get any complaints about your advertising. However, we don't
accept child pornography or password sites. For more details, please read the terms at
http://www.gammacash.com/terms.html.
If you have questions regarding the transfer to the sign up program , please don't hesitate and reply to this message
Sincerely,
Charles

Charles,
You can't afford to pay me $37 for the nearly 1000 hits I've been sending and continue? That's funny ass shit. Why even have a click through program? In a click through program the responsibility to sell rests with you instead of the webmaster. Otherwise I would have indeed signed up for the PPS sale program initially. Hit me back within 24 hours cause you'll see this message again at "Go Fuck Yourself" and several other AWM boards.

BlingDaddy,
did you even took the time to read the email you got?
Obviously not.
If you had read it, here's what you would have see : "Also, you ARE getting paid the money you made in the click program; please look at the unpaid balance to know the amount"
So please next time before sending me your threats and deadlines, you should at least make sure that you are right on what you say because this is not the case. I took the time to send you an email; please read it!

Charles,
I read your entire form letter "E-mail". What it says is that Gamma doesn't run a true click through program. What is says is that if a webmaster signs up on the click through program and Gamma deems that it's not happy with the conversions it's buying on a PPC program they just switch the shit to PPS. I'm not trifled over $37.00 anyway LMAO.
Answer me this Mr. Charles as you did not.... Why even have a click through program, and secondly at what point does Gamma deem that a PPC sponsor get's moved into the program you want them in anyway? P.S. I didn't "threaten" jack. What I did say is that I would confer with other webmasters in regards to your program.
From Gamma Cash -
To answer your question, we have accounts that are on the click program, and are able to stay in that program. So what's the use of a ppc program? It's for those accounts of course!
What would you suggest? Keep an account on the click program that does not generate any sales?
Would you do that? No one will pay more for traffic than he makes money of it.
Every one gets a chance to be on the click program, and they get paid for the hits they send even if they get switched which is only fair.
I would understand if we just wipe out the click earnings like 95% of programs do and then recalculate the past earnings on a sign up basis, but no we don't do that.
You might no like having your account switch and I understand that, but I believe that it's still fair to do it when you get paid for the hits you have sent.
From The Bling Daddy -
Charles,
Thanks for clarifying. Here's what I get from you. I find it hilarious that Gamma owes me less than $40.00 and has already made the determination that my account should be moved to PPS instead of PPC. I've sent GC less than 1000 hits so far. What do you do when a webmaster hits you with 10,000? By the way all the traffic I've sent is clicked and banner traffic.
The whole point of a PPC program is that YOU not the webmaster assumes liability for conversion ratios. In your estimation I guess all PPC stats should convert at less than 1:625 (IE your $25 per signup). How do you know if I sent you another 1000 hits on PPC there wouldn't be 3 signups? If that was the case I would have earned less than $60 on PPC traffic when I would have earned $75 on a PPS system! In any case by running a PPC system that's your issue not the webmasters.
"What would you suggest? Keep an account on the click program that does not generate any sales?" - If your going to base payments on sales don't run a PPC program. PPC stands for "pay per click" not pay per sales.
"Would you do that? No one will pay more for traffic than he makes money of it." - I hardly consider 1000 clicks "money making traffic". I spend that in a day.
"You might no like having your account switch and I understand that, but I believe that it's still fair to do it when you get paid for the hits you have sent." - I don't personally care about you switching my account. I haven't even earned $50 dollars with you. What do I care? I just think it's silly for a program to advertise a PPC program and bail because they're "not getting enough sales". If you're not, move all your accounts to PPS and don't tout a Pay Per Click program.
I'll continue to promote GC on the "$25 PPS" (which is slim compared to many of my other programs) but if a site hits less than 1:1000 I drop it, which at this point I have every reason to believe that's probably the case. It'll also be posted at
