- Changing from $50-100 to $200 or even $300 minimum payouts... Why? Obvious.

- Making network sites that affiliates can't even promote

- Making your watermarks on all your sites say the network site's name

- Not paying automatically when thresholds are reached on some "contact us to be paid" shit

- Tour leaks are extremely common place now, to facebook, twitter, anywhere else ya'll feel like

- Removing payments.php in your NATS installs

- $5+ check fees, paxum fees, etc. Making a profit on doing one of your only required responsibilities as a program owner to facilitate having affiliates. Zombaio? $30 check fee...

- Offering discount pricing to some affiliates and not to others

Industry is a game of cannibalizing each other to stay afloat these days.

Better communication, if I'm going to be making you money I'd like you to at least reply to my emails :)

I've had sponsors in the past not even make me a new banner with custom size after sending them lots of traffic and making daily sales, so pretty much dropped all the ones that can't be assed to spend a little time helping me make more sales.

I don't know of a single sponsor who gives affiliates full scene content. In fact I only know of a couple like Mr. Peabody who are open to giving affiliates the same content they put on CPPs with tubes.

It has the effect of making it more difficult to see when you have a payment due and whether or not it was supposed to be sent out. If you see you were supposed to get a payment a month ago but you never received it you might expect that something is wrong. If they remove that page or block access to it the chances of you noticing are reduced.

Just noticed this with a sponsor a couple of days ago. Had some new sales. After they posted new sales our old balance disappeared. Now just the new sales showing.
