It was a programming error.

The t800 server that handles webmaster stats became self aware at 08:45 PST. It decided to create an inhouse account for itself and take 30% of everyone's signups.

The server then unplugged itself and travelled back in time to 1991 to defend edward furlong from an evil cyborg.

We have since replaced the server with a rogue employee, who shall remain anonymous.

I think it would be be a little more respectful to give me a call on my 800 # below than to make false accusations that we rip webmasters off. Please, do call me so I can pick your brain on this if Laura Lee's reply has not already been taken care of your problem.

Mr Pheer · 02-04-2004, 02:36 PM

I hate that term "pick your brain"

I've cancelled alot of meetings with people cause they've said that to me... makes me feel like a science experiment

anyway, back to our regular scheduled programming...

I dont think thejimmy was accusing you at all.He explained what happened and was looking for a reason from TCG webmasters who are more familar with your program.As it turns out it was a glitch which he should be thanked for pointing out.
Now that I know about this I might send more traffic your way to see if my conversion rate picks up.

BT, I was merely asking a question, when I see ref-codes disappear, I think the majority of people on this board or any board would agree, it looks seriously susupicious....

however in the future I'd be glad to just ring ya...wasn't aware of your open-phone policy

as for the glitch, glad to hear it's cleared up...

Snake Doctor · 02-04-2004, 02:43 PM

Was it a "technical glitch" a few years back when TCG (was just traffic cash at the time) was declining ALL joins to their sites and sending the traffic to Vivid?

How quickly people forget

Rich · 02-04-2004, 02:44 PM

Funny how programming errors always end up with webmasters traffic being sent to the house accounts, not the other way around.

thanks swami, glad you saw through to the sentiment of my post...

Guys GET REAL. If TCG wants to shave they can do it in a WAY LESS obvious way. C'MON

BTW, why don't you give us that "followme" traffic...

How many sales does followme get per day?

You know I have exactly the same problem.I am now looking for an office away from home for 2 reasons.
1:So I can do more productive work.I find that i keep getting distracted by friends and family at home and
2: So I can turn the computer off and get a break away from work.

I can't do it. If I'm awake, I'm working. Even while eating, I'm innovating some type of new idea to get more traffic....

Yup, I have that now. I have a seperate home life and my office. It's nice to seperate the work from home and I get more done at the office but its natural for me to bring work home on my laptop now when I'm rushed to get something done.

My Janet traffic is converting better there than anywhere else. I'm more than happy with it and I'm glad the glitch has been fixed.

Keep up the great work!

just shy of 100 'glitches'

mrthumbs · 02-09-2004, 12:25 AM

its just geo filtering.. most of the bigger sponsers these days
instantly redirect foreign traffic to a dialer site with 0 credits for you..

If thats a 'glitch' or accident: anyone believing that theory is basicly a stupid moron.

But then again: doing PPS and believing a program can really
pay out out 1 million dollars per signup without fucking around makes you pretty much an idiot in the first place.

NiTe-HaWk · 02-09-2004, 12:26 AM

too many glitches lately not possible that they are all glitches

cheese · 02-09-2004, 12:55 AM

I remember a few years ago when TCG (well, they were CEN back then) were redirecting random sign ups. It was a while ago, but what they did was when someone filled out the join form with their cc info, they would get redirected to a page that said something like "Sorry, but our sites are so popular that our servers are all busy at the moment. Please try these other sites" and it had links to other sponsors. This was after the surfer put in his/her credit card info ect.
Does anyone else remember this? Is was a few years ago. I haven't sent them 1 click since this even after the name change.
Man, they better get some better programmers

Anyway, it's late and I'm off to bed.
