Gigacash won't lower payouts, still $42 - GoFuckYourself.com

web4x · 07-11-2003, 01:20 PM

Just got an email from them. They will stick with $42 because their chargeback ratios have always been lower than 1%.

Time to change sponsors, I will drop all sponsors which can't handle their chargebacks and reduce webmaster commissions from $35 to $25.

got the same email and I was worried they would be jumping on the bandwagon also.

Gigacash pays $42 a signup and that's without a minimum number of joins needed to be sent.

Even if they lowered theirs by the magic $10 number others are using they would still be paying $32 a signup! They convert great for me!

I plan to also ditched any and all sponsors who are not thinking things through, trying to adjust their chargeback ratios and improve THEIR sites for others that are looking for other remedies besides just cutting the per signup price for the webmasters.

Ars ratios are already ridicuosly low for me with $10 less per signup it wouldnt make sense to send them any traffic at all.

I suggest everyone who sends traffic whether it be a tgp submitter, tgp owner, link list owner, paysite owners etc watch the ones who cut the webmaster pay and see if these are the same ones throwing huge all expenses paid parties at conventions, have advertising everywhere you go, free hosting and sponsor hosted galleries etc and boycott using their programs. Because if you analyze all this together, ask yourself why YOU are getting less for the same money you spend to promote them while they are blowing money all over the place!

I think that sponsor hosted galleries should pay less per signup as well as those that use free hosting of that sponsor. These are the ones that are making the most profit per signup and why should they be when they are freeloading in a sense?

I use hosted galleries too and I have no problem with a pay cut on those as I don't pay for bandwidth on them, pay for the design or do it myself etc so a smaller lump of change for those would not be a problem. I also used to use sponsor free hosting and if the price per signup was lower on that, I couldn't bitch about that either as I'm not paying for bandwidth.

I ask those that did not announce their payout changes yet, to very carefully analyze EVERYTHING before you just say fuck it we'll cut the webmasters pay $10 and everyone will be happy.

That's really the point in all my rants, analysis on a program by program basis, not "price fixing" which is what it is starting to look like around here.

Time will tell. Currently Gigacash used the same cross sells that many other epoch clients do. The ones that are going away in August. If they are still paying $42 in September, I will be impressed and wondering about the mach 3. Until the Epoch deadline to remove the cross sells, it is business as usual for many who will use them up to the last possible day.

I see several people saying they are not lowering payouts in an obvious attempt to snag some traffic from ars, silver cash, etc who have already said payouts are going down. Long term though, everyone using epoch will be in the same boat. Nobody is in business to lose $.

Is that payout based on active or a trial. this would explain alot.

I have a question about your program:

Platinum Account $42 Flat Per Trial Sale!
GotNailed.com $30 Per Trial Sale Required to promote GigaCash? at the top position of your website / promo page - banner or text links OK.

Gold Account $35 Per Trial Sale: 1 - 49 sales
$40 Per Trial Sale: 50+ sales
GotNailed.com $30 Per Trial Sale No Condition

What is the premise of the platinum account? Do you mean I only get paid the $42 when I post your banner on the top of a linklist/tgp style site? I really only build search engine FPA's, so I'm not sure if this would count as "top position of your website"?

Please explain.

You didnt explain why he qualifies for the $42 payout, which leaves all the webmasters that didnt post wondering if they qualify. What are the rules?
