NICE!!! :thumbsup

Very cool, kris242! :)

Marc, cut throat is definitely not my style...but whatever works for ya. LOL :winkwink: Seriously, pointing fingers is not how I play. We've done a lot of good business with ARS over the years. The lower payout surely is not happy-making news, but either are the new Visa regulations. To me, that's just more reason for everyone to focus on working together because we're all riding the same train. I have no doubt that you will remain competitive and that we'll continue working with ARS well into the future.

OK you Wild-N-Crazy-GFYers, I'm off to enjoy a bit of sunshine - and see about finding my religion on the jet-ski! :)

Marc,

Thanks for the congrats!

We will probably be making some changes to how we handle cross sells. I anticipate we'll be going to 1 cross sell and we'll keep it at a lower price point. Some of this depends on what Jettis will allow, as we cross sell to other Jettis clients who will need to abide by any new Jettis policies. In fact I think we're sending some of those cross sells to you and I think you're charging 39.99 on them so that will probably have to change at some point soon ;)

The bottom line is that FlyntDigital has low chargebacks and higher than normal conversion and retetion numbers due to it's enourmous library of exclusive pics and video. We offer a great value to the surfer, great customer support, easy to cancel memberships and we have a very sharp fraud control team.

These things combined allowed us to raise payouts. The truth is we could drop both cross sells and still maintain our payouts without any problem at all.

Mike,

We were dealing with fraud control before SilverCash existed. Thanks for your concern, but we have very good systems in place to deal with fraud. I would put our systems up against anyone......bar none.

Business is business Mike. We didn't make a decesion to get aggresive and raise payouts to make friends or to keep some of our competitors happy. We raised payouts because it was the BEST business decesion for FlyntDigital....period.

We are still good friends with most of our competitors and we work hand and hand with them on a daily basis. However, we will always compete to the best of our ability. You're a big boy and a good business person, so I'm sure you can understand that....can't you?

The truth is that FD COULD raise payouts because we focus on a HIGH QUALITY product. We have MUCH higher trial/conversion ratios and retention than most major sites....which equals more profit....which allows us to pay more. Pretty simple if you asked me......

On that note....I'm headed to the Larry Flynt Roast for the evening! Should be fun....

Damn! I thought I was the only one who received an invitation!

Ken - have a good time.. it seems like this one is going to be a good one! I'm only sorry I can't make it:-(

I am going to frame the invite though!

Uh-oh. Unforseen.

Sites with good quality, exclusive content that focus on providing a quality product can now pay more than people with 100 niche tours all leading to the same set of cookie cutter leased feeds.

How odd.

Ken, and the rest of the WEBQUEST crew congrats on being consistent, reliable, and of course forthright-

Anyone who doesn't believe that Larry is a true pioneer and an Icon for our business and free speech is definitely not in the "know"

Larry makes smart business decisions, and is very methodical in how he carefully guards his brand.

Another reason why he chose WEBQUSET to run their sites :-))

Kudo's to Hustler-

K-to-the-Bizzzzzle, thank you for the kind words! :)

And as luck would have it, Visa claims that overall US chargebacks in April of this year fell again to .05, down from .07 in 2000.

Processing is definitely an Achilles heel in this business.

Amber, if you are still up, please turn on ICQ for a sec, message left.

Hi KimmyKim, it was a pleasure meeting you. :)

Long live Larry Flynt!

The man was breaking barriers when most of us were in diapers and he'll be doing the same when we're old and back in diapers. Not only that, he's raising payouts! Show some respect for the king of porn free speech! :)

Nice sig Mr. Fiction! :thumbsup

indeed

2pac and me support Larry

:thumbsup

That's a beautiful thing, Soul_Rebel. :)

Instead of starting a new thread...I wanted to let you know that we sent out our webmaster announcement to Flynt Digital affiliates today regarding the payout increase, and the news is even better than once expected...

We've announced today that we're raising payouts as follows:
- $40 per paid trial sign-up
- 70% plus recurring revenue share
- Still paying $20 per Free sign-up.

The official announcement was sent out to our affiliates today - here it is uploaded to my server:

I understand that some other companies are keeping their payouts the same and a handfull are increasing them too. This is a good thing for everyone! :)

I am not sure about Larry, but smart people should follow Ken's lead in this industry!

MikeAI...I completely agree - the smart people should follow Ken's lead. :)

So tell me about http://www.purecash.com/ - is this your new program? With your knowledge and solid experience I'm sure it'll be a huge success. Can you share any of the details...?
