What makes you think anyone throwing those kinds of numbers around are doing any TGP? Yeah, if I was doing TGP I would probably be elated if I was getting 1:2000

Everyone is so scared to say something. I have a friend that has a sizable TGP network. He promoted a program that he made amazing money with. ONe day, no check. So he stopped promoting. A few months later, the owner shows up, says he is sorry that he had some issues, and pays them. So they talk about it on the phone, and start promoting again. about a year later, they guy does it again with another sizable payout.

My friend NEVER told anyone else. That is the kind of info that should be shared. he was afraid that if he did decide to promote the guy again, the conversions would not be as good if he let others know.

I see what you're saying and don't disagree entirely, BUT if your friend DID make a stink about it and out the guy, I'm guessing he wouldn't have gotten paid. He knew the possibility existed that he would get paid so he kept his mouth shut. There probably aren't too many people who would want to play the hero on GFY and forfeit 4 or 5 figures. :2 cents:

There are programe owners posting on this board all the time who dont pay affilates
Most guys I talk to about this don't believe its worth the drama or the effort a good pissing thread takes.

I think you nailed the source of the problem.

Because my stats program shows where my traffic is coming from. That way we can clearly see if a coversion problem is site-related, due to shitty traffic, or due to a lack of overall traffic. Trust me, we had more than one case where someone was whining about sites not converting, and we shut him right, up mailing him proof that he only send 70 visitors in one month, or tons of low converting TGP traffic.

Bump for bad conversion ratios.

Great thread.. interesting read.
