We have been listening to your input. We are currently in development to bring you the type of program you are expecting. We have contracted our content portion of the program to an outside content management company. Per your requests, in order to implement a pay-per-sale model, we have developed a business relationship with a content aggregation company, who has agreed to give us auditing rights to their system. By utilizing this method, we will be able to provide you with accurate, trustworthy statistics. The current system does not allow this, and we too are not comfortable with the current methods of tracking even our sales with our current content affiliates.

Swapbucks is and will continue to be a traffic aggregation company. Please stay tuned while we firm up these new business relationships and continue to develop the program to completion.

We realize that some of you were inconvenienced and thank you for being a part of our trial period. We are sorry to admit that this model did not work the way it was initially developed. We are happy to announce that we have figured it out and we will be back STRONG very soon.

Please understand we are exploring a new Industry, and we appreciate your patience while we better our business model to our mutual benefits.

Thank You

you should have made this announcement Feb 1 when you realized you didnt make any money in January and therefore had nothing in the "pool"

So your gonna relaunch, but this time you have a plan to make money?

Should have spent less on business cards. At least they are indestructable.

Quick Clarification:

"Please understand we are exploring a new Industry..."

Moving traffic to websites using content as the engine is not part of a new industry nor is it even a new model. Before releasing a product, beta tested it and please try and not over promise and under deliver...the result is that Webmasters have spent their time and resources on you with the understanding that they would be paid and your lack of customer service and honesty has resulted in a stagering number of pissed off people.

I have been quiet to this point but I cannot any longer as your actions affect others and the community as a whole.

This model was flawed from the start and I tried to share that with you. I can assure the Webmasters that if properly executed by people who know what they are doing, you should be seeing good returns.

Webmasters: if you move traffic or do anything and aren't making money from the parties who are tasked with taking it and making you money from it. RUN!!!!

I am really kinda bothered because this is once again NOT a new model. You can do a search, I talked about this and have been doing it for almost two years. Original my ass. I guess it is time for us to roll out more publicly. In that case, stay tuned ya'll and I will show you the light.

Lets see if your new model steps on another one of my patents filings.
