Test sign ups - can I do it? - GoFuckYourself.com

polish_aristocrat · 03-22-2005, 09:42 AM

Some sponsors like Pimproll or ARS allow test sign ups without any pior notification, so that should be sufficient proof that they don't shave...
while others don't allow it... or allow only with prior notification, lol :-)

But when a sponsor is converting REALLY bad for me and they don't say anything about "test sign ups" in their terms, can I just make the test sign up and then either start drama on GFY that they shave :-) or just notify them that I did a test sign up and ask them to remove it

One more thing I just thought about..... if I can do the test sign up and then ask the sponsor to remove it..well, then this implies that they can do it ( remove sign ups from my acount ) at any time by themselves anyway.

I have others do test signups for me, yeah
I've had VERY interesting results in the past lol

hehe, and you didn't share that with anyone and kept all the info on who shaves for yourself?

We have no problem with test signups, just don't get carried away...

I had a guy last week that wanted to get paid on 15 "test" signups from him and some of his friends... which isn't going to happen, but they did all show up in his stats...

nah, I am not that stupid

just wondering if I do a test sign up and the sponsor doesnt allow it ( but how should i know it ? ), then can i have problems with them?

My question is based on the assumption that the sign up goes through, if it doesnt, then the sponsor will have problems

woj · 03-22-2005, 10:34 AM

There is no reason why any sponsor would have problem with those, unless they doing something shady. Of course though, you need let them know after the fact that you did a test signup, so they can deduct that sale from the stats.

polish_aristocrat · 03-22-2005, 01:05 PM

any other comments?

Alex · 03-22-2005, 01:07 PM

Some may not allow it because its a hassle to then refund you and modify your stats.
I suggest doing a test signup for a trial but allow them to keep the $4.95 or whatever and them email them to cancel the credit in your stats........if it shows up

detoxed · 03-22-2005, 01:09 PM

Yeah if you do a test you better not expect a refund. Cancelling recurring should be done though.

lol, i don't care about 5 bucks and wouldn't ask for a refund for sure, that don't even came to my mind

Theo · 03-22-2005, 01:24 PM

For the record and nothing to do with the already mentioned companies:

Porncash was allowing test sign ups without any pior notification and i can tell you they were shaving ;-)

hm.... interesting

I can't even see their logic

that's probably the reason they don't seem to exist anymore

Theo · 03-22-2005, 01:27 PM

is it a PPS sponsor? Chances they shave is very high. Do a test signup not just to see if it gets credited, but to have a look a their members area. No matter how great their marketing skills and upsales/cross sales are if their actual service towards the client sucks big time they'll shave you above the normal %

The logic was to give confidence about their program. Rarely anyone makes test signups and if they do and get caught shaving they could come up with an excuse. On the other hand the average webmaster will say "this sponsor doesnt shave,look they even allow test signups" :-)

Porncash/adstats quited the industry with a lot of millions in the bank heh

Soul_Rebel, I ICQ'ed you few mins ago, did you change your number recently?

Peaches · 03-22-2005, 01:35 PM

If you do test signups with us, just let us know so we can back out the payment on it - and do it before Margaret, our Fraud Bulldog, catches it ;)

Alex · 03-22-2005, 01:36 PM

Oh btw polish
I skimmed through that 8page URL you gave me

From my understanding ( i read the end) the test isnt finished yet so i dont know how ***.com got owned...

baddog · 03-22-2005, 01:39 PM

SPP doesn't care if you do it, as long as you let us know afterwards so we can deduct it from your payout . . . and as long as you post that we passed ;)
