WEGCash no longer accepting referrals - GoFuckYourself.com

DateDoc · 05-18-2010, 02:00 PM

Today?s communication with our affiliates comes after much deliberation, as well as a heavy heart. After 10 years, and millions of dollars in affiliate payouts, Wegcash has decided that the continuation of the affiliate program is no longer sustainable. Therefore, we will no longer be accepting referrals effective May 21st, at 4PM PST.

The reasons, many of which are obvious to all of us, revolve around the decline in membership revenue. The continued proliferation of free adult videos has spawned a market which does not support an affiliate program. This communication should in no way be interpreted as an industry, political or ethical stance, nor should it be deemed dispiritedness; rather, we choose to look at this as a time to embrace the future.

While our company is closing one door, we are working steadfastly on new opportunities. While we could all engage in the revisionist history of "what ifs," events leading up to the current free tube models aren't negotiable; we are better served focusing on the future. We also feel that energy is better served realizing the true successes that our affiliate program brought to us, and to our thousands of wonderful affiliates (without whom we would never have achieved the success we did).

The gravity of this announcement is in no way lost on our company?s staff, from executives and programmers, to its owners. The Wegcash brand was conceived by two passionate and driven entrepreneurs. Throughout the years, its continued prosperity is attributable to the hard working staff members, past and present, who stayed late, came in early, and passionately put their heart and soul into the product. It is also very much attributable to the thousands of affiliates that entrusted our brand with their business.

While today undoubtedly is revealing in terms of the current market, it?s also the lore for the successful future.

Our sincerest thanks to each and every one of you for the past decade of fruition,

Wegcash.

Wow. That's sad news, and BIG NEWS.

I bet in 2010 we will see more of this however.

candyflip · 05-18-2010, 02:02 PM

Doesn't WegCash have tube sites that continue the "proliferation of free adult videos "?

Lame.

BVF · 05-18-2010, 02:02 PM

WOWSERS.....So no more funny pics of the fat guy making funny faces huh?

seeandsee · 05-18-2010, 02:04 PM

so what they dont accept anymore? New members?

LeRoy · 05-18-2010, 02:05 PM

Fucking sux but hey just glad I didnt promote them much

bdld · 05-18-2010, 02:05 PM

good riddance.

It could be read that way but I think they have closed the affiliate program to new and existing affiliate members as of May 21.

SmokeyTheBear · 05-18-2010, 02:06 PM

that seems like a bit of a short window for affiliates to change links don't you think.

notime · 05-18-2010, 02:17 PM

That is one hell of a perfect legal written and well thought over text writing by a lawyer.
What does it say exactly?

Darkhorse · 05-18-2010, 02:19 PM

Big news for sure I haven't pushed them in years but I bet lots of people have links to change.

marketsmart · 05-18-2010, 02:20 PM

so does that mean they just keep all the future affiliate payments?

thats a great business model...

.

Brujah · 05-18-2010, 02:20 PM

xsells are way better than affiliates anyway

GTS Mark · 05-18-2010, 02:22 PM

Wow that's huge! We made great money with Weg over the years and the owners and employees were always fantastic to us. Very sad to see them go

kristin · 05-18-2010, 02:23 PM

Wow ... surprising.

WEG seemed to take a hit with the xsale stuff a few weeks ago. I have a feeling though they have enough emails to keep them going for awhile without affiliates.

Imortyl Pussycat · 05-18-2010, 02:25 PM

just.......wow. what a shame

leedsfan · 05-18-2010, 02:28 PM

hmm, no more referrals. That doesn't say existing affiliates are getting shut down, but it sounds as though its inferred from other language in the letter. Would be good to get clarification on this from some one within their team. How about Cory posts in here.

Fat Panda · 05-18-2010, 02:29 PM

Unreal......companies and people from within the industry are killing it

stephane76 · 05-18-2010, 02:30 PM

Oh wow... didn't see that one coming either

Good luck Gabe and the WC team

Ayla_SquareTurtle · 05-18-2010, 02:30 PM

Shorter version: Thanks for all the traffic we'll still be making money from, suckers!

Cory hasn't been there in awhile, I think he is actually with Hustler now.

The letter is kind of vague as to what it actually means. Clarification would be good for all.

Closing up shop completely? If so, when will the last payouts go out? Only closing for new affiliates? Etc. etc. etc.

MrBottomTooth · 05-18-2010, 02:33 PM

Why don't they at least make their intent clear for fuck's sakes. Would it be so hard to include a sentence that says "you will no longer be getting paid for traffic, so please take down your links." if that is indeed what their cryptic email means????

gleem · 05-18-2010, 02:33 PM

this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ASSS!

guess biz wasn't sustainable without x-sells?

BSleazy · 05-18-2010, 02:34 PM

Holy shit.

drocd · 05-18-2010, 02:35 PM

no longer accepting referrals = no longer accepting (acknowledging, they'll surely accept) affiliate referred sales

They don't mean not accepting new affiliates, or new affiliate referrals. They are talking about sales.

FlexxAeon · 05-18-2010, 02:40 PM

fuck...

i dont know if i should cash out of the biz now or hold on for the bumpy ride

mikeyddddd · 05-18-2010, 02:43 PM

heymatty · 05-18-2010, 02:44 PM

Much deliberation and 3 days notice. That's nice then.

They will take your sales, you just won't get credit for it.
Its nicer way of saying fuck you the way Satan Cash guy did

seeandsee · 05-18-2010, 02:47 PM

So when will we get our payments

Nicky · 05-18-2010, 02:58 PM

Glad I stopped promoting them years ago.

alias · 05-18-2010, 03:00 PM

baddog · 05-18-2010, 03:06 PM

No longer paying for referred sales effective the 21st. It is a Friday, probably the close of a payout period. Right?

Major (Tom) · 05-18-2010, 03:07 PM

it's sad to see any company go. I do not wish it upon anyone, but their content was shit. Let's face it.

Penthouse Tony · 05-18-2010, 03:08 PM

Sad to see a company around for this long go.

BAKO · 05-18-2010, 03:14 PM

good thing i stopped sending them traffic few months ago

MrBottomTooth · 05-18-2010, 03:16 PM

Any programs still pay per email? feel free to spam here. I don't feel guilty since they only gave us a few days to change links.

mhende6600 · 05-18-2010, 03:19 PM

Plain English please

freewebhookup · 05-18-2010, 03:19 PM

Agent 488 · 05-18-2010, 03:28 PM

pretty funny as they own http://www.redtube.eu/ which is running an aggressive seo campaign for all the big tube keywords - youporn, pornhub ....

also this company wasn't about content for a long time, they made their money off "creative" marketing and billing.

datatank · 05-18-2010, 03:34 PM

Do they mean webmaster refferals?
Like that down line 5-10% shit?
