    DatingGold.com PPL Ripoff

    I had a few users tell me that they signed up with my AFF link and I kept refreshing the stats page for hours with no signups..

    I started digging around and read that you only get paid for male users and since there is no "Gender" in the signup process something looked suspicious..

    well It looks as if you only get paid if you refer a users and he signups and obviously confirming the email, but then going into profile edit settings and set gender to male.. which is completely retarded or just plain scam.

    >>This program is restricted to US, Canada, UK and Australia male users only.
    a signup should show immediateness after confirming the email and not after going into settings and making changes..

    Sounds like a great scam to me! Just a way for them to shave off leads. Good find!

              I'm promoting the PPL from the webcam they have..

              half hour ago I asked my friend that lives in Texas in the US to signup with my aff code and to set gender to male.. still no signup in my stats page..

                  maybe you have to add a credit card on file to count as PPL?

                    Once you login you must click on the profile text link in the menu on left of the page.
                    And then you can select your gender. I tried to edit my account by clicking on the account icon located on the top menu. Dident do anything when clicked. Probably will confuse members.

                      Not sure.. But I see exactly whats hes saying. Other sites ask for gender during the actual sign up process. Webcamclub does not, forcing users to update the account so he can get paid.

                        adulttraffic, even after setting the gender can you confirm that you got a new signup? it looks like it works sometimes only..

                          I'm not testing under a affiliate link, so I cant tell you. Just confirming the join up process for you.

                            hey there, someone linked me to this thread and my first reaction would be to know if you have tried to talk to us about your issues.
                            we have Tofu as our dedicated cam rep and he's not even sure what was going on.
                            would you mind giving me your account so we can look into it?

                            Thanks

                                I been using dating gold for years and never had problems tracking leads for any of their websites. If there was a glitch it eventually caught up or was fixed. Should have had them check your account! I love DG!

                                  pointing out this issue to cam reps would fix the issue indeed.

                                  I feel like I have been betrayed by this company and therefore I don't care about fixing issues anymore.. once someone steals from me I don't do business with them anymore.

                                  please fix your cam scam so other users that don't know about this can honestly get paid..

                                        Not playing dumb, but would it be too much if I ask you to provide your affiliate account with us?

                                        At this point, I understand that you're NEVER going to send us any traffic, but I think we do have the right to know if you actually did send traffic and your friends did sign up with us and are legit users.

                                        Sure u're helping the others by warning them about this, but why didn't you want to provide us with your account?

                                              If you read the blackhat forums you will see that most suggest avoiding adult dating at all costs. They suggest casual dating instead because either adult dating converts 10 times worse or they will say that they outright skim/shave. These sort of claims picked up quite a bit in early 2012. I'm not speaking of DG but the whole industry. This is the buzz. Take it or leave it.

                                              You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

                                                    I'm on that forum and some of the skype groups and the top reason I
                                                    see that they won't deal with us is because we don't accept a lot of the
                                                    various traffic sources that some of those guys come to us with.

                                                    I'm not challenging you, BTW. Just from my personal lurking.

                                                      Well if they are using certain blackhat techniques that is a risk they have to take.

                                                        lol.. all good

                                                        nothing against blackhat forum , why is it called black hat?

                                                        you wont be getting banned for saying that, ure not accusing anybody.

                                                        I wish LRS would just give us his account so we can see how he's got his Friends signing up for a PPL knowing that they have no intention to buy the service.

                                                        you think it's fair for sponsors to pay for fake leads?

                                                        we recently caught few affiliates that were sending us fake signups, I hope he is not of of those affiliates.

                                                        as of this writing, we are still waiting for his account info.

                                                            I've found that because of the way blackhats do things they can often tell who is cheating. It's ironic but it's often very good information. Honest webmasters have a harder time knowing who is a cheat and I think some exploit that.

                                                            I believe I've seen LRS around in other places. I don't have the impression of him being someone who would cheat you. Although I wouldn't doubt if a webmaster did a test or two themselves or with some friends. That's not really cheating. That's called a test. Unless you do it all the time.

                                                            I'm not surprised that he doesn't want to give account information. Many sponsors would instantly attack someone making this type of post by suing them or persecuting them in some way. For example by calling them a cheater. It's a common tactic. The way I see it either the claims are true or they aren't. It doesn't matter who he is beyond establishing credibility. And I can see what I need from his past posts.

                                                            You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

                                                                I believe I've seen LRS around in other places. I don't have the impression of him being someone who would cheat you. Although I wouldn't doubt if a webmaster did a test or two themselves or with some friends. That's not really cheating. That's called a test. Unless you do it all the time.

                                                                I'm not surprised that he doesn't want to give account information. Many sponsors would instantly attack someone making this type of post by suing them or persecuting them in some way. For example by calling them a cheater. It's a common tactic. The way I see it either the claims are true or they aren't. It doesn't matter who he is beyond establishing credibility. And I can see what I need from his past posts.

                                                                  nothing against blackhat forum , why is it called black hat?

                                                                  you wont be getting banned for saying that, ure not accusing anybody.

                                                                  I wish LRS would just give us his account so we can see how he's got his Friends signing up for a PPL knowing that they have no intention to buy the service.

                                                                  you think it's fair for sponsors to pay for fake leads?

                                                                  we recently caught few affiliates that were sending us fake signups, I hope he is not of of those affiliates.

                                                                  as of this writing, we are still waiting for his account info.
                                                                  Whats the point of him giving you his account? The question is if you count a lead when the user manually changes the gender in his profile. This is not difficult to understand.

                                                                        well It looks as if you only get paid if you refer a users and he signups and obviously confirming the email, but then going into profile edit settings and set gender to male.. which is completely retarded or just plain scam.

                                                                        >>This program is restricted to US, Canada, UK and Australia male users only.

LRS did you actually ever do a test lead signup to confirm this?

                                                                                            What else concerns me is why are they only paying for "male" lead signups? So if I send a lesbian female as a lead who enjoys paying for camgirl privates, I'll receive nothing?
