This reminds me of 2001.

I always find this bizarre with some sponsors. If you tell them that sales are really bad, then you normally find they go right back up for the next few days, then down again.


So what are they doing that adds the extra few sales on ?? Dodgy dodgy...

MFM is a great guy with an Amazing program. He is a stand up guy. If you attacked my intergrity like you have his.. I would have dropped your ass too.

And heaven forbid he'd have double checked MFM's stats directly before flaming him.

Actually, call me a cynic - but I LIKED MFM's reply. A scamming fuck would do anything to keep shit off the board - but he told this dude to blow it out his ass and termed his account.

Guess what? We're going to contact him on ICQ and add his new galleries into the rotation. He seems like a straight shooter with nothing to hide, who doesn't take any shit. I like that.

this is why I come to GFY!


thanks 12clicks for another great post!

The old adage of all publicity being good publicity rings true for me here. I must check out MFM.

Holly FUCK ! Those are some nice stats ! :thumbsup

That's the problem. EVERYTIME someone's sales drop they go crying to the company and telling them, "there must be a problem on your end, my sales are down." Ask it any way you like, 9 out of 10 times the person is going to come across as accusing the company of cheating them or that they are having problems, etc.. If every company had to handle all of these emails they would have to lower their pay rates to pay for that 50 person staff.

Google was fucking people with adwords in the past. What if someone kept hitting your links from different ips, what if you screwed somethign up on your end, what if your hosting is slow today. What if you just having a bad day, not catchiing the people that signup... it happens from time to time.

Do you complain to them when you have a good day. If you average 10 sales a day, some days you will get 2 and you go crying to them. On the days you get 18 sales do you contact them and tell them there most be a problem ? Do you offer to give back those extra sales, there must have been an error your stats are not allowed to fluxuate. :helpme


However, how he replied is not called for as well. I can understand his frustraition and agree with his thinking, but not his response. There is a polite/professional way to say " sorry there is nothing wrong on our end, I don't know what else to tell you' and then there is the " get the fuck, dont let the door hit you in the ass" way that only hurts the reputation of your company.

:2 cents:

excellant points :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

this thread is more like an advertisement for MFM program than a negative exposure.

I love Chris.

I am the real owner of MFM, please let me know what I can do for you.

MFM owes me a bag of burritos.

I'm guilty of this. When my sales are low, I do email my sponsors to check if there's something on their end which is the case. And about half the times there actually is a back end problem. Whether it be sales are not tracking, a processor is loading up slowly or even a technical error on the join page (Furious Male knows exactly what I'm referring to here, hehe), a lot of times it is a combination of many things that affect sales.

PS: I emailed Stacy a few minutes ago Will. Hoping she'll reply to me :)

Are you using the content match with google? If you are getting that traffic from adwords, they could've added a bad affiliate to their adsense program and that could be part of the problem. Adwords has been sucking balls for me lately.
