Wow, some pretty serious ARS-changes!! - GoFuckYourself.com

KingK7 · 02-23-2004, 12:39 PM

From their "news" section:
"On February 23, the GIM linking code page is deactivated. Followed by on March 8th all current GIM links will be redirected to either ARS4Real or For Mature Audiences Only (FMAO) websites."

KingK7 · 02-23-2004, 12:42 PM

For those who do not know, GIM sites are all their regular paysites I think, like All Petite, Cute Girlfriend etc etc

Steve · 02-23-2004, 12:43 PM

KA-CHING!!!!

Dirty F · 02-23-2004, 12:43 PM

Is it time to redeem my points?

Nysus · 02-23-2004, 12:44 PM

So they're pulling out?

Cheers,
Matt

guschi2k · 02-23-2004, 12:44 PM

wtf ? just red it myself.....i don't give a shit about that ppc and ppi stuff....so the only pps left will be the byots or what ?

KingK7 · 02-23-2004, 12:45 PM

Also:
"The ARS Publisher Referral Program will capitalize on creating a totally new concept in the adult industry; complete 100% monetization of all publisher traffic. Publishers will now have the opportunity to promote ARS and earn money from each impression and each click sent. Earn 2X on your traffic. The ARS4Real Publisher Referral Program pays Per Impression COMBINED with Pay Per Click! "

Big changes, but I think they may be good, both for them and for the advertisers.

polish_aristocrat · 02-23-2004, 12:48 PM

wtf - it isn't on their website yet !

tootie · 02-23-2004, 12:48 PM

BYOT is being reinvented, also. The current BYOTs will be gone.

BRISK · 02-23-2004, 12:49 PM

I think maybe they removed that because they didn't actually mean for anyone to find out about ARS4Real yet.

KingK7 · 02-23-2004, 12:49 PM

They removed it from the "News" section now apparently.
Guess they want to make an announcement about it.

Nysus · 02-23-2004, 12:50 PM

Is this a clever scheme to keep monies to themselves? Not sure how this is affecting people.. Anyone?

Cheers,
Matt

Fletch XXX · 02-23-2004, 12:50 PM

imagine all those old SE spammers pages and all the links people have to change... they must be cashing in!

You just have special super secret spy eyes!

KingK7 · 02-23-2004, 12:52 PM

This easily has to be the biggest change to hit the adult internet webmaster community so far this year.

polish_aristocrat · 02-23-2004, 12:54 PM

Hm, it surprises me that some people don't believe ARS.
IMO ( apart from Silver Cash ) it is the only 100% trustworthy program on the web!

KingK7 · 02-23-2004, 12:56 PM

I think the ARS crew are smart people, they will do what is best for their business, and their webmasters.

I'm curious to see this ARS4Real that they will be redirecting all links to.

crockett · 02-23-2004, 12:58 PM

so what the hell is going on? I was in the middle of building a lot of galleries for ARS sites? is it just new linking codes or what?

Now does this mean that there is going to be a whole new bunch of sites to promote?

I think everyone was aware of the big changes coming in ARS, at least since a few weeks.

The webmasters send them traffic, I am pretty sure they care enough about them/their traffic not to do anything stupid.

Toolz · 02-23-2004, 01:10 PM

On Feb 23rd the GIM linking code page will be deactivated so no one puts new links to the old GIM sites up. Linking codes will remain active to those sites until March 8th when they will be sent to new sites, NO TRAFFIC WILL BE LOST

Michael O · 02-23-2004, 01:12 PM

Traffic will be redirected to their new sites and if they don´t have new sites in place for that niche it will redirect to a pay per click page.
Is what I have heard

PMdave · 02-23-2004, 01:12 PM

why is the announcement not there for the majority of webmasters?

sexsup · 02-23-2004, 01:12 PM

I think the ARS modifies will be good afterall

well I wasn't really promoting them, so I don't keep up with their day to day doings.. I just have a few gallery links here and there, but was about to start doing more galleries for a few of their sites.

and what happens after March 8th?

LeeNoga · 02-23-2004, 01:13 PM

Folks, ARS is no fly by night Mom and Pop....they are a force to reckon with and they have never not done webmasters right nor every went backwards with webmasters futures.

If they are changing things up there is a good reason for it, and all the best to ARS and what is to come....

Don't panic, don't want the bleachers to collapse from where I am sitting....

Now, I heard ARS is cancelling advertising on some webmaster boards, but hell what do I know....

I think it went up early by mistake and then was pulled.

I have no doubt that the new ARS will be much better than the current form.
And from what I´ve seen about their new byot program it will be atleast as good as the old one.

cosis · 02-23-2004, 01:14 PM

ARS4REAL is mentioned in AVN Online Magazine in a advertisement from ARS I received last week

cosis, nice observation my man....I'll be talking with you soon I'm sure. Hit me up on icq later if you have any questions or comments after we announce everything.

GatorB · 02-23-2004, 01:17 PM

Their new BYOT system is called ARS Champs. You initially get 1500 "content points" used to redeem content to use on your BYOT. If you already have the old BYOTs you get 1000 "content points" per BYOT. You also get content points fore every sale you make to your BYOT. You can also cash in rewards points for "content points" You have to update your BYOT once a month. You can either get Paid per SU or revshare which is $16 intial $16 recurring. THEY host ALL the content.

If they are going to a pay per click/impression payout for webmaster referrals I see a lot of sigs in the future with ARS in them (perfect for sigwhores) that could explain them cancelling.

Both a PPC and a CPM are gonna be launched with the new stuff, some boards are taking us up on the offer and still flying the banners, I'm sure some of the better ones will make even more than they already are.
