No more trust for programs?

[AdPatron]

Affiliates should require proof that webmasters are still being paid regularly and that payments have been sent out in the past week.

Interesting times, these are

I think enough people alert the community when a programme doesn't pay up, there are several threads within a day or two of "late" payments these days.

[CunningStunt]

Ross is correct.

[Sarah_Jayne]

And what proof do you want that payments have been sent out? We are still here and paying out strong and on time. I just don't get how you want proof that we are paying out other than people saying 'hey, I got a check'.

[DebsDeep]

Ask anyone, we have never missed a payment....

[Chosen]

VIPPay.com never missed a payment as well

Not all threads are read and that's not a easy solution for reaching out to webmasters.

Bingo ;-)

Right..so every pay period (which vary per program), people need to start a thread saying they got paid? Okay, by me..look forward to seeing affiliates starting those threads.

I would think you'd like it, free promotion huh?!

[AdPatron]

Ultimately, if programs can actively prove their liquidity, it would be a marketing tool that would benefit them, but the whole industry. Who doesn't like references?

[Jman]

Hey Joe, we been around for ages and not going anywhere... Maybe I can make a post each time accouting sends out payments ;-)

[Bird]

AEBN been fucking out of this 100 bucks for the last 2 and a half months...They probably have the money but their record keeping sucks.

No shit eh, no need to advertise on GFY anymore, we'll have several thousand threads per week that everyone got paid by PIMPROLL.

[crazytrini85]

How about... piss on you little affiliates?

Note that many programs are dropping them and using their own internal traffic.

[Phoenix]

dropping affiliates is weak...to think one company large or small can compete with thousands and thousands of smart individuals who arent constrained the same way larger companies are.

there will always be affiliates...if people are dropping affiliates...its because they cant afford them, arent making enough money...etc etc

there are a shit ton of people who are not paying...id love to see someone make a serious page about non payers

[gleem]

it's definitely a tough time to be an affiliate, I used to use maybe 10 programs to sell on my sites, now because of conversions I have to rotate 100 or more to make the same amount, making it hard as hell to track everything and see who's paying and who's not.

Personally my program has never been late in payments in 4 years, except for my epass affiliates now cause Epass "lost" the wire I sent in, although I have offered other forms of payment to cover the late epass's it makes me uneasy that I had to be late like this. Couple that with payment services going to hell like webmaster checks, things just keep getting harder to keep payout going out on schedule.

The affiliate model is almost dead. start promoting your own stuff or go sooooo bubble gum on the mainstream side.

porn is dying. i do not feel sorry for any of you idiots.

Go ahead, you have my permission.

[96ukssob]

this is why i have moved to promoting a lot of CCBill sites... conversions might not be as high but at least i know im getting paid

[Brujah]

I've been paid by a handful of hahaha's programs this past week/weekend.

[kristin]

AFF in their stats let's you know the amount, the check #, when it was cut and by which person in Accounting.

I think that's some pretty good proof.

Yeah, programs didn't expect the bad times to hit. And given the amount of program owners who didn't have the best money management, I expect to see more programs going bye-bye this year.

It's gonna be an interesting summer for sure. Let's see who can make it through the slowdown. I know we'll still be here, doing that mobile thing. =)

[Profits of Doom]

For all the shit they get on here they have never been late once on a payment for me...

[Sarah_Jayne]

I think it would be a fun contest..lol. Or each program gets their own thread that is bumped on every pay date.

I rarely agree with you, but yep agree with this.

[BFT3K]

Promote CCBill programs.

Then you are guaranteed to get paid from an honest 3rd party.

Hint hint....

[Ginn]

Promote trustful programs with no shady tactics and you almost undoubtedly will be paid

[GrouchyAdmin]

This whole thread is retarded.

NATS? Login and go to /payments.php and see if it's been sent. Many programs also post this in their news.
