"Your account may be canceled if you stop traffic" - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly · 12-04-2006, 05:10 PM

Just found this on a stats page.

"We reserve the right to terminate your account and future payments if traffic is stopped."

Am I the only one that thinks that is BS? BTW, rev-share sponsor.

Oracle Porn · 12-04-2006, 05:10 PM

name names!!!

Pete-KT · 12-04-2006, 05:11 PM

Thats stupid, what if you have recuring members??

Daruma · 12-04-2006, 05:11 PM

need to know who that is

to make sure I yank that traffic immediately.. if they are one of mine..

Dirty F · 12-04-2006, 05:12 PM

StarkReality · 12-04-2006, 05:13 PM

OMG, what's next ? A host that terminates my account if I don't upload at least x files in y days ?

Sly · 12-04-2006, 05:17 PM

Before I say who it is, you guys tell me how you interpret this:
As a percentage affiliate, you will get a percentage of all future orders and reorders by the XX members who have joined so far provided that your affiliate account is still active - we reserve the right to deactivate accounts who stop sending traffic. By analyzing your traffic conversion numbers and order rates, we can estimate that over the next few years, you will be paid an additional $XX.XX on top of your current earnings of $XX.XX.

Note: I make jack shit from these guys. Like $10 a month, not their fault, I just don't send much traffic.

JackL · 12-04-2006, 05:19 PM

well they are trying to find a way to con ppl who use rev share

Traffic is traffic, small, medium or large

Tempest · 12-04-2006, 05:22 PM

Fuck that.. if I made a sale and later stop sending traffic, I expect to continue getting paid for those rebills.... Name them so I know who NOT to promote.

BV · 12-04-2006, 05:22 PM

Another good reason to push sponsors that have 3rd party payouts by reputable companies like CCBill & Paycom/Epoch.

beemk · 12-04-2006, 05:26 PM

thats stealing if you ask me, whos the sponsor?

Sly · 12-04-2006, 05:28 PM

I always thought the point of rev-share was partially to continue making money AFTER traffic stopped, for whatever reasons? Isn't that one of the strong rev-share selling points?

Maybe a rev-share sponsor can pipe in here. What other rev-share sponsors are leaving options like this open?

Dirty F · 12-04-2006, 05:30 PM

Varius · 12-04-2006, 05:31 PM

We would never do something like that and I think it's a shady way to save a few bucks

However I also know a HUGE sponsor on here that has it in their terms and does it to people - I'll let you all guess who for yourselves

aico · 12-04-2006, 05:33 PM

why won't you name them? It's in their TOS, it's not like they are hiding it.

gleem · 12-04-2006, 05:34 PM

it's AFF he's talking about.

only place that gets away with the giving you less of your revshare if you send less traffic in the future.. fucking bullshit.

nico-t · 12-04-2006, 05:34 PM

please name them.

edit: just saw the post above me

bizarredollars · 12-04-2006, 05:34 PM

That is a really fucked up and unfair policy, I would ditch the program on principle.

BradM · 12-04-2006, 05:35 PM

Aff?

Thats who I was talking about. I wanted to get opinions before naming the great Holy Grail of dating sites and hearing the usual schtick of "I went to their awesome party". Whether they ever enforce the policy or not, its total bull shit.

Another thumbs up for Adult Friend Finder.

D · 12-04-2006, 05:37 PM

Ya. That's totally not the way to go...

Revshare is revshare... in for a dime, in for a dollar.

so your ditching adult friend finder?

I made a stink about this 4 years ago and everyone thought I was being dramatic.

they are blackmailing you, you either send steady levels of traffic or you lose at least 20% of your rebills... I remember Adult Check and several other shady fuckers did it too.

u-Bob · 12-04-2006, 05:40 PM

That's stealing, no doubt about it.

Tempest · 12-04-2006, 05:41 PM

Aff.... ?

interracialtoons · 12-04-2006, 05:47 PM

I think some programs do this but don't tell you.

I have a couple of sponsors that I sent a bunch of sign ups to and then starting using something else. I didn't get any rebills for months, then I put their links bck up and all of a sudden I get rebills even though i haven't sent new sign ups for long enough to get a rebill.

Dude seriously, i posted it before you apologized. You did it at the right time because i was about to flood gfy with this pic, seriously. I stopped when you said you were sorry.

yeah ok....

i just don't get it, I Mean i assume you know it's not my pic? so whats the point in posting it?

jact · 12-04-2006, 05:53 PM

CCBill doesn't pay out on webmaster referrals unless you're pushing joins to the site also. Pretty common, pretty sleazy.

zango and this policy

seems like 2 solid reasons never to promote them - in addition to the horrid conversions I've seen posted

Sounds exactly what is in the Stats area of AFF.

are you fucking retarded? how do you feel about the people who call you sig-whore? now I feel same way about you - some guy on a message board is telling me, that some stupid "cheers" picture of a guy with glasses is me

seriously, its retarded

go back where i first posted this pic, look up the url and if you can prove that its my, i gonna pay you $5k

it surely beats the $100 bets you're offering the n00bs

its not that it totally upsets me, I don't lose sleep over it. But I admit it, I don't want that people think it's me. I don't care MUCH about it, but i care enough to point it out

but now i'm doing it for the last time probably, I can't be really bothered to discuss it everyday

EDIT: back to topic - any other sponsors have a similar rule like AFF?

Wiggles · 12-04-2006, 06:03 PM
