Lee crawls into this thread with a pounding headache *sigh*.
You know I love you guys and you are dear to my heart, I think my decade of being amongst webmasters has proven just that.
I was operating off information that was misunderstood by myself, I fully accept that responsiblity.
Yes, we ripped out the DRM.
Yes, we changed our business model, we tried PPS and it was not a good fit right now. We are new, we are 4 months old, and we have every intention of being around many years.
I am so sorry our change affected so many adversely, that was not our intention.
But, we are not to proud to admit we needed to regroup and we all know several companies that have gone down that same path just to emerge stronger than ever...
Yes, we have called a time out of sorts, and made adjustments which were executed immediately. There is no denying this, and I am am being open and honest because I respect each and every one of you.
You speak of "suspect" decline in sales and rough conversions, and I was open and honest to every one that contacted me. We hit problems when we dropped in the cascade billing. But we also, made sure even if the traffic ratio's were crazy looking we recovered the sales. We had times where our primary processor was declining heavy and it went to our secondary which scrubbed harder.....and really what can we do about that?
But "suspect", come on folks, now your stepping on my pride personally.
I wish I could publish our Top 10 webmasters stats, not everyone had drastic flip-flop sales trends. I still do not understand how and why that happens
XBangCash is no newbie to adult, and have been very successful in adult for many years. There is no way, this company who has such a strong reputation amongst a slew of studio's and Fortune 500's ripped off webmasters...that is just insane, and hurtful actually.
Some of you already pulled your links now that we are revshare, your voice has been heard, is it really necessary to spew hateful comments.
This company has content that really sets them apart, and if I had to find a silver lining, I am excited about the content offering to the surfers, only a strong company could be this generous and offer many sites content for one price. Why? They got the content!
I really believe this offering will retain the member, and our program may not attract the PPS webmaster type but we should get a strong nod from the revshare webmasters. We have alot more options as a content company and we will tweak things out until we get to where we want to be.
I stand behind XBangCash when I joined in Dec, and I stand behind them now as their affiliate manager.
I hope to earn back your business even tho many are hardcore PPS only.
Personally, I think the revshare folks are gonna come out way on top with the new business model.
Everything takes time but I predict over the coming months, you will hear and read the XBangCash name in threads, and it will be all props :-))
