Abby Winters promotes cheating their affiliates

Hard to believe... but it's true.

Abby started a thread on their website bitching about the costs of affiliates and explaining how they will get more money if the surfer deletes the cookies before they sign up.

See for yourself at:

http://www.abbywinters.com/vbulletin...ed=1#post20628

Spread it to other boards...

These people are shit if they will tell their members and potential members how to cheat the affiliates out of their marketing efforts.

OK, I wonder how that site will survive now. I bet it lives cos of it's affiliates - which he/she/they are fucking bad. And at the same time him/her/them-self!



If you don't want affiliates - get your own traffic, but stop being a jerkass ripping of those that help you make money!

I read the screen caps on your site. I simply don't believe this. It's like you stated there. If you hate your affiliates so badly, why have a affiliate program at all!

Unbelievable!

Did any of you look at the women that she has in the tour??

Yuck.

I can not imagine why someone would pay for that.

There are tons of amateur sites out there with better looking women.

Hah, 50%? Don't be kidding!
Abby Winters is probably one of the rudest, people I've met in this industry.

Here's a summary
45% Initial - No Rebills!

I emailed her about this. Here's her reply.

Quote:
Hi Simon

The cut we offer does not change over time.

We run the program how we see fit. Plenty of people don't like it, and
that's fine - we're not desperate for affiliates.

Looking at the sample designs you provide, I don't think we're compatible
anyway.

So who does promote his/her site?

If so do you do well from it.

I will not promote it at all.

are you saying that 50% of what comes out of my Credit card goes to some mongrel company that dont do nothing for this site???
I can understand when a non-webmaster doesn't grasp the fact that the affilliate (referring) webmaster had to work very hard for many hours also, to build his sites and pages and to promote and get the traffic so that dear Abby could have him as a member.


But she should know better. Checked this out, in Abby's post....

My main problem with the affs, is that I work my arse off 80, 90 hours a week to make the site as best as I possibly can. The staff I employ work hard as well, and they care about the site too. Yet I have to give away HALF of my gross to some lazy (six to ten hours a week's work) guys who make a few web pages with MY images, and post them on the net!?

Hardly seems fair...

But to look at it from their side, they know the places and ways to post these pages of my images for the most amount of sales - that honestly does takes time and experience. And, some - they argue most - of their joins would never have found my site, and incrementally, it does not cost me much to add a member to the site... so it's income I'd be otherwise missing out on.

I don't pay out rebills
Sorry, but this Abby is an utterly clueless bitch of the worst order.

1. Why HAVE an affiliate program at all if you're just going to bitch about having to pay them?

2. Excuse me bitch, but you wouldn't even HAVE most of your members if not for them finding their way to your site via affilliate links.

3. You don't pay affiliates on rebills? Ha ha.... then those who ARE promoting Abby's site are also clueless morons. Why not send your traffic to a pay-per-signup that pays out TWICE what Abby is paying?? Or join a decent partnership program that does pay on rebills.



Holy shit I cannot believe the bitch cut her own throat like this. I would never promote a site where the owner thinks his/her affiliates are a huge waste of money to the point where she would even suggest to or discuss with members about how to remove referral cookies etc.

The term brain-dead doesn't seem quite strong enough in this case.

Nice guy - the guy behind Abbey Winters - one of natures all round anal warts.

I can remember when he had no affiliates and another photograher here in Australia put up some galleries for him on the Hun.

Now his affiliates are all lazy people who only work a few hours and take all his hard earned money

Not even 45% that's 50-7.5 (1/2 of processing fee for a small site/program) = 42.5% no rebill. If I tgped or bought traffic to promote him/her wouldn't cover my cost.

This is the reason why I like sponsors who were affiliates of other programs first. If you were only some model or noob webmaster with no prior experience opened up a paysite barely covering costs this is the kinda unprofessional attitude you'd show

That's why sponsors should use ip matching scripts also How long is the aw's cookie set to expire btw? With that kinda attitude I wouldn't be surprised if it's set to expire in 5 minutes or something..

No bullshit.

We are unlike most adult websites. We are run differently, our members expect different things, and our content is different to what you may be used to.

All of these things combined means we run our affiliate program differently to what you might be used to. While we're interested in growing our site, we're not going to do the things many affiliates demand. We'd love to have you on board, but our site is doing just fine without you.

Here's what we offer to you as an affiliate:
50% on initial subscription
No rebills
It's that simple. This might be your cue to say "pffft! no fucking way, dude!", and that's fine - our program is not for you.

We convert at about 1:50 to 1:100 for good traffic. Don't bother to use exit consoles to send us traffic. Last time we looked, you'd be lucky to get 1:10,000. As there are so many cowboys about, we don't have many affiliates - under 20 currently. Those guys make a good living from us alone, and while they do have to put in a little more work than some other sites, that work pays off. So if you're looking for a quick buck, you're on the wrong site. There are plenty of suckers out there, but we're not one of them.

We use GMBill.com as our primary billing company.
Thats whats on her webmasters sign up page. who in the blue fuck would read that and sign up???

Talk about biting the hand that feeds. She (he) even admits that the promoting webmasters know where to post to drive the best, and most, traffic to the site.

That's worth something right there! Damn.

It's like that old joke about the computer repair dude who charges $100 for pressing a button -- it's $5 for pressing the button and $95 for knowing which button to press.

That's why I'm looking for affiliates for this site I just built. I need quality traffic, and you guys know where to find it. I could spend hours learning where to promote, but I have a site to maintain. That's why we pay 50% on signups AND rebills via ccbill. It's only fair for a sale I wouldn't have anyway.

That's lovely!

"Around half to a third of all our joins are from affiliates, which means, it's a big chunk of the gross income."

Only half??? She must deserve all the affiliate traffic plus all the money too! Damn those cookies.

The thread I started at abbywinters.com:

http://www.abbywinters.com/vbulletin...ead.php?t=2798

And this was my last reply there

----------------
How nice all this sympathy for Abby.

First of all, I was never and will never be an abbywinters.com affiliate. I choose my programs carefully and 50% on initial subscription and no rebills is, I think, the worst I've ever seen in this business.

Secondly, most of you clearly don't understand what it takes to be a GOOD and honest affiliate. Sure there are affiliates trying to make sales whatever it takes, as also there are pay site members trying to screw up the pay site owners with their charge backs and everything (talk to any pay site owner and he'll admit this).

I spend over $3k USD monthly alone on promoting my sponsors, it takes me about 8 hours DAILY (and not weekly as Abby tries to make you believe, there are affiliates spending this weekly and they don't make money), so don't anybody give me this shit about affiliates being people that make easy money! Making money as an affiliate is just as hard as making money as a pay site owner. And don't think I'm a big player. There are lots of people putting in MUCH more effort than I do.

I did stumble upon AW thru a TGP/affiliate site. You wouldn't believe what my firewall had to fight off when I navigated that site.
Then you visit the wrong TGPs. Visit The Hun (http://www.thehun.com), the biggest TGP around. He chooses the galleries he lists very carefully and makes sure there are no pop-ups, or any shit in it, OR even in the sponsor pages they promote.

Quote:
I mean would you be happy if you put your whole effort into a site but had to give 50% of each join away?
50% AND NO REBILLS, is the lowest I've ever seen in this industry. There are sponsors paying $40 to their affiliates, when the surfer only takes a tour of a few bucks. Why you ask? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT'S WORTH TO THEM! Ask any sponsor what is most important about a pay site and most of them will answer 'enough affiliates to promote it'.

Quote:
Now, 10 month later you already wake up and you start a crappy campaign against AW.com. Ten month there was nothing coming from your side (are you blind?) and now, suddenly the bomb explodes and you treat Abby as a ?dirty little shit?, your words.
As I said, I'm not, and have never been an abbywinters.com affiliate. This was just spread around some adult webmaster boards.

Quote:
Within the past ten months you earned money with AW, or not?
That would be a no, and the people who did sign-up for this affiliate program are a couple of morons, because they could have made at least double the money as they did with abbywinters.com

Whaadaya know. Both Lifer and Ruus are from Amsterdam. Inconclusive, but interesting to know.
I'm not from Amsterdam, and why would that be an interesting thing to know?

Don't get me wrong here. I understand that for surfers it's hard to understand what affiliates do and it looks like all they do is taking money. But you should see it this way, an affiliate is like the company that makes a TV commercial. Do any of you really think that they are getting their money without doing anything for it? Do any of you think that a brand like Coca Cola or Nike or whatever big name comes up to you would still be that big in another 10 years when they stopped promoting themselfs through those companies?

I can ensure you that affiliates are exactly the same as those commercial companies. The good ones KNOW how to promote a pay site and where to promote it. Affiliates are the ones that make pay sites big, NOT the pay site owner.

I'd be happy to show all of you some more insights of being an affiliate (btw, that's not the only thing I do), but I kind of have the feeling you all will still sympathise with Abby.

So in the meantime, let's talk about Abby. I see all of you are referring to Abby as a she. With me she goes for a female right? Well, Abby might be a clueless motherf*cker and one of the worst people to work with in the adult industry, calling this guy a woman is something I even wouldn't do.

Again, I'd be glad to explain some more details to you all, just let me know.
----------------------------

Kind of like fucking around with those clueless surfers

BUSTED..... FINALLY

I had some unfortunate dealings with this BITCH , SHEMALE whatever a few months ago and she posted some slanderous shit about me on her boards....

Very unprofessional person. Very rude and obviously cares not about any other webmasters or customers.

How is she even a model anyway?... She is UGLY AS SIN!

I decided not to post here at the time but now that everybody else is beginning to notice that she is corrupt, SUPERB!

Get this ugly dog bitch of the internet.

Ed

Too Bad for Abby Winters...

She hung herself with this one...

But we all know that this shit happens more often...

So, just because Abby was so quick to apologize (not)...

Can you all be sure that this is posted on any other forum where hard working affiliates hang out ("with nothing to do" according to Abby's latest response)

There is some guy saying he would rather see Abby in a Lambo than the affiliates? If she only realised it she could probably have that Lambo pretty quickly as opposed to it being a pipedream if she worked with affiliates.

50% w/ no rebills is tantamount to theft, but telling and encouraging surfers to delete cookies etc IS theft.

This is the equivalent to having a salesman, and cutting out his %, but taking his sales.

If a sponsor ever discusses their monetary situation with their affiliates, they're fucking idiots. Surfers don't want to know that they're fucking someone's private fortune.

Treat your affiliates like shit, and you're jsut stupid. Reputation is everything. I hate rude people in this business.
