At the end of the day I made some good sales from extremebank for v.little work, I think what really narked me was I had noticed a drop in sales due to new affiliate and also some leaks on the site so decided to spend a few days last week updating my site to start taking advantage of some of the search traffic and was hoping to really start promoting the site more serious.

Regardless once a sponsor does anything that makes you question the legitimacy of their program you can never realistically return as you were as you will always suspect they will seek revenge or shave your sales some how especially when you have brought it to the boards.

So thank you for letting me vent my frustrations and hopefully I highlighted a few issues.

I look forward to working with some new sponsors.

I don't hold grudges, I don't seek revenge, I don't shave sales. I'm sorry that you're not happy with our program, and I'm glad you converted well with us. And, if you would have done ANY of the stuff you did on a different domain, I would have been ok with it. Hell, move all of your stuff over to a different domain now and I'll reactivate you. Just don't use a typo or hyphenated version of our domains. That's (almost) all I ask.

Any other affiliates looking for a good hardcore, sponsor that converts... hit me up. We use CCBill, and are currently converting at about 1:500 on ALL traffic total, even the traffic that doesn't fit our program (softcore, etc.) or tube traffic. Our best affiliates are converting at less than 1:40.

LouiseLloyd, like I mentioned, I'll invite you to move your stuff over to a new domain and I'll reactivate you. I think that's pretty fair. I'll even Paypal you 10 bucks to buy a new domain if you want.

What do you have against hyphenated domains? Serious question because he helped, not hurt your business.

Personal preference. This whole thing started because a member was going to his site and couldn't find the "members" link, so he emailed me for support. He was even using our colors and graphics to make his site have the same look as ours. I want NO confusion to our members over what site is ours.

Why complain to CCBill? That's like having a billing issue with your power company and bitching to your mortage company.

CCBill has no control over who a program suspends.

Understandable, but users are retarded. Thousands of people tried to log into Facebook from a third party site and bitched about the new look when that site took over the top Google result for Facebook. In the end, he's making you money and nothing is actually confusing to those with a brain so I just think that should be considered. You absolutely have the right to do whatever you want with your business, it's just a silly stance in my opinion.

As i can see, that affiliate [thread starter] is not complaining about CCBill... he is looking for way to get himself back in aff.program (that use ccbill)...

yea i dont get why ppl wont allow promotion on domains similar to yours

if you didnt buy em thats your fault


tons of our guys have vimax related domain names that we could of bought

Adam: Your user is a fucking idiot. There is *nothing* to stop anyone registering roxyrayemembers.com or whatever, and 'confusing' a different total fucking moron intentionally. Appeasing 1 window-licker at the expense of many affiliate sales is a really bad business move. You will never please 100% of surfers, because of the very reason that although 'the customer is always right', you need to bear in mind 'the customer is always a fucking retard'.

Seriously, that is a very bad biz decision to make.

Oh, and same colours/graphics is to make the transition from SE freesite to your paysite as seamless as possible. Pretty standard marketing.

One would hope. :upsidedow

Thanks Adam, no hard feelings and thank you very much for the offer of buying me a domain but on this occasion I will pass.


I know I'm still a relative newbie affiliate, only been doing it full-time for approx a year, but I enjoy it for the most part and have a passion for marketing and porn and would like to think that legitimate affiliates can be given a helping hand when it comes any issues sponsors have and be offered their expert assistance in resolving any issues.


Have to go now have to look for a way to make a pretty disastrous week better before xmas.
