Bangbros /Bigmouthfuls - Impossible to sign up? - GoFuckYourself.com

chicktrainer · 10-04-2003, 09:12 AM

We opened a "BigMFs" & general "Bangbros" area inside our members area about a fortnight ago. Conversions with this type of promo (inside the site) are usually around 1:30 - Not this time though. Hardly anyone signed up, not even for trials. So we decided to take a look at the BMFs site ourselves since we were curious about what exactly we were upselling to and we wanted to check out the payment options.
After 3 (!) different declined creditcards (different cardholders, countries and accounts) we gave up and made the mistake of trying to apply for epassporte virtual Vi-sa. (Well they should tell people that it's F**kin hard to get an eppassporte approval if you're not a US citizen)
Anyway, after about a week of re-trying different CCs at Bigmouthfuls.com (without actually managing to sign up) we got an e-mail from one of our members:

Subject: Bangbros
Tried to pay to get access a few times, but kept being told that the 3rd party handling credit card transaction declined my cards. I am certain that my cards are good and I managed to make purchases elsewhere. Please advise.

Now THAT sounded somehow familiar. I wonder, what's the point of having an excellent tour, great content etc. when the sponsor's sign-up process is pretty much impossible to get through?

Don't get me wrong, we really like the Bangbros stuff and sites and we'd love to upsell to them. Can someone shed some light on why it's so hard to get into a BBros site?

No shiiit!!!! If that's true that's quite alarming!

cyberpod · 10-04-2003, 09:39 AM

heh... I guess that explains all the traffic going into the black holes I keep submitting to tgp's with their linking codes... gotta be one of the worst experiences in recent times..

Sooo much traffic... Sooo little income...

Dude, have you ever pretended to be a surfer and gone to any of these tgps and mgps??? They're fulla redirects, half connects, dialers, traps and all kinds of shit.

It's like sending traffic to a black hole.

The whole system needs to be revamped.

> the site has been introduced to the surfer, he gets declined, he takes note of the site he wanted to join and comes back a few hours/days later to join straight without going through a reseller like you.

Are your users having trouble buying at any other Paycom sites?

SomeCreep · 10-06-2003, 05:46 AM

has anyone noticed their BBO conversions turn to shit within the past 2-3 weeks?

Paul Markham · 10-06-2003, 06:00 AM

We've just signed up with Probilling and they are scrubbing like mad. Everyone is worried about the 1% at the moment.

But S.L.L.D does have a point, how many book mark and return?

Shaving or redirecting is something that is going to happen. You have to look at your stats, where do you earn the most money from is the only answer.

nice thread i was sending some traffic think ill stop now

Greg B · 10-06-2003, 07:55 PM

If you lose sales for no reason it might not be anyone involved.

It's something I was thinking about a while back.

'Ursurption'.

Here you are the website sending traffic to a sign up program.

What happens inbetween? It's not 'shaving' but 'usurping' the traffic and sale.

If true then the sponsorship owners don't know it's going on and the webmaster sending the traffic and the customer don't know.

Could be feasible with the new programming language implementation nowadays. Just check the other mainstream affiliate program complaints. That'll show you what's going on.

I'ld bet dollars to donuts the adult industry is heads and shoulders in honesty over the mainstreamers.

Definetly some issues there.

Maybee your traffic just sucks?

I will continue to push them because they convert, Here is a 5 day report with them, just as proof for some of the haters in this thread.. I love bangbros, its no secret.. I dont understand why people bitch so much in general, Would you rather send your traffic to some program that claims they are going to pay you 80 dollars per signup? and you keep 1:12000 ratios? Newbs are the first to whine about removing links or something not converting, it's because you dont know any better.

How are you sending traffic if you dont mind me asking?

Madball · 10-07-2003, 02:17 AM

He never said its HIS stats, he said here is "a" 5 day report.

slavdogg · 10-07-2003, 02:35 AM

all the bullshit aside
what are you guys seeing as your trial convert ratios at these new bangbros sites ?

so far at BTRA on first 21 sign ups not counting monthlies is around 30%... but thats preliminary will need few more days to see complete results.
