adultfriendfinder.com problems, anyone else? - GoFuckYourself.com

Bigwilly · 01-06-2005, 08:02 AM

the past 3 days when i visit my site the geo targeted iframe ads only load half the time. Anyone else have this problem also? Are they doing anything to correct this or should i implement my contingency plan?

Tuga · 01-06-2005, 08:05 AM

I have the same problem, they need new servers.

Yep, and I just redid several pages the other day to display them prominently. I'm going to have to pull them down until the problem is sorted out, makes the whole page look bad

Damian_Maxcash · 01-06-2005, 08:23 AM

Ive pulled mine.....

Its a bloody shame... Its bloody good money when it works

Im kind of glad its not just me though

Bigwilly · 01-06-2005, 08:25 AM

damnet what a pain in gonna have to work now, mabye ill just ride it out and make little to no money in the next couple days or untill they fix their stuff

DrewKole · 01-06-2005, 08:36 AM

I'm just tired of the fucking ratios... 1:55 one day, 1:100 the next... when the traffic is static, and doesn't change... and is high enough volume to even out small discrepencies...

Ofcourse, it's my fault... has nothing to do with them at all...

Someone create a fucking 3rd dating program that works well with my traffic, and you'll get a shitload of us to change over.

I'm tired of this bullshit.

Sagi is going to get jumped on as soon as she gets on ICQ.... and I bet Im not the only one

I may ask her to come here and make a post

DrewKole · 01-06-2005, 08:44 AM

Has ANYONE had remotely decent ratios since they switched to 100% asian approvals for the pendings?

I personally think that has something to do with it... not a racial issue, moreover just an outsourcing issue...

But... wtf do I know besides the fact I'm so bitter about this whole thing I'm about to explode.

xclusive · 01-06-2005, 08:51 AM

I hope they get it back on track soon...

Bigwilly · 01-06-2005, 08:55 AM

you think these people would realize they have a company to run and are going to lose allot of business if they dont fix their shit

DrewKole · 01-06-2005, 08:56 AM

Anyone who has a dating/cam site, and can prove they can make me $3+ an email like my other sponsors... and KEEP the same ratios and SHOW the same hits.

Should get ahold of me...

I can't take this shit anymore.

Bigwilly · 01-06-2005, 09:03 AM

Hi All,

Since Jack is away, he asked me to post a message. We are aware of the issues and the update is now running. If you have any questions you can contact me at (650) 847-3178, ICQ 215446267, or email [email protected].

Thanks!

Bigwilly · 01-06-2005, 10:49 AM

still cant log in to check my stats

Houdini · 01-06-2005, 11:40 AM

Please also look at the geo-customized ads. The pictures are going straight to the reg form (instead of the search I specified), plus I don't see the affiliate code passed.

cali_22 · 01-06-2005, 12:14 PM

It's more than just an update needed. The geo ads are often VERY slow as to make them useless and even the main site is getting that way. As everyone has the same problems why not just fix them instead of asking for all affiliates to contact you about the same issue?

Babaganoosh · 01-06-2005, 12:35 PM

Last I knew they were using .jsp which just won't work that well. No worries though. If only they could get the chargeback problem under control. It seems like every day I make decent money I get hammered by chargebacks.

abstractAFFect · 01-06-2005, 12:47 PM

Hey Guy's

We're deeply sorry for the slight scare some of you may be experiencing. But rest assured everything is in order. I'm sure a lot of you are aware of the iframe's increasing popularity and we are implementing a lot more hardware to support it as we speak.

As for the stat's issues, all of us know of the surge in traffic right after the holidays and AFF is experiencing a tsunami (no pun intended). We're hitting record numbers on a daily basis this month and are dealing with huge batch files that are taking a while to process and at the moment having to split up loads manually. So it's just taking a bit longer and aren?t tabulating real time like a lot of you are used to.

Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and trust you know you?re in good hands with us. After all, more traffic to us means more money to you guys.

Cheers!
-Sean
AFFireman.

Wiggles · 01-06-2005, 12:52 PM

last few days i've liked them with the increase in sales, but that could change.

Dunno who's making record sales, but it sure in hell isn't me... My ratios are pretty much horrid... and if they don't change... there will be no more traffic to you, which means no more money to you.

sadly, i'm in the same situation ;(

things started to go bad around christmas eve...I tought it was normal...holiday slowdown etc etc...but they kinda never got better!....

My sales dropped a lot on dec.23-24 and never got back up!

So kindly shut the fuck up noob. =)

That was pretty much the same time period mine dropped too, and never really got back... traffic is there, conversions isn't... I'm ending up switching them out every other day or so, because I can't stand keeping the traffic with just AFF.... There's not one part of their system that I like.

Pretty distressing... another company needs to step up and take care of us.

cali_22 · 01-06-2005, 02:22 PM

back up sorta

darnoth · 01-06-2005, 02:30 PM

Yeah my pending users finally updated.. the iframe is still working like crap though

.

DrewKole · 01-06-2005, 03:05 PM

They're updating, not that it really matters, 1:59 last month, 1:80 so far this month... nothing like a 27% loss so far to really kickstart a year.

Anyone used Iwantu yet? Or Loveline?

darnoth · 01-06-2005, 03:26 PM

I haven't tried either, but I am signing up with IwantU now.. dunno if they offer geo banners, but who cares, I have my own

.

OzMan · 01-06-2005, 03:35 PM

I just spoke with Jack and Sagi at the show. Great to finally meet you guys and thanks for taking good care of me.

As was said above they are currently working on getting more servers online to cope with the larger than anticipated popularity of geo targetting as well as overall increases in traffic.

People, it may be cloudy in Vegas right now but the sky is not falling so please don't go all chicken little. If you want to go running to another dating sponsor at the first sign of an issue, please go ahead. It will mean more people to signup to AFF at my sites. My ratios have been fairly consistent, stats lag sometimes but no biggie, it all comes good in the end.

The oldest and still the best dating sponsor is having temporary problems because too many people are sending them traffic. This is a GOOD THING. It means they DON'T SUCK. Being too successful isn't a problem, however when there is a sudden increase it is to be expected that there will be some brief issues while they crank things up a few notches to handle all the traffic we are sending to them.

Tuga · 01-06-2005, 03:45 PM

Stats are looking fine now. Great sponsor btw, drop them and leave more $$ for me.

darnoth · 01-06-2005, 03:49 PM
