All programs that got hit by new CC regulations could be next

Naechy · 06-01-2010, 06:55 AM

this is very very trendy

PR_Dave · 06-01-2010, 06:55 AM

You will see many drop, banks are not issuing companies new merchant accounts.

I can see many of the smaller problems not even giving affiliates warnings and just shutting down.

amazon, itunes and ebay are closing its doors at 15th of june

Emma · 06-01-2010, 12:40 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 2010, 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

HOLY FUCK TIME TO CHANGE SOME LINKS!!!!!!

fatfoo · 06-01-2010, 02:11 PM

These affiliate programs close and open all the time.

All payments due are paid, even if affiliate program closes.

Rarely an account is not paid when an affiliate program is closed.

Focus on growing your own accounts.

LOL, so far off on this comment.

As we have seen in the last few weeks, programs have shut down and they aren't paying.

Oh yeah, none of them answer or pay anything even tho they told me they will....
Here is their email:

All accounts with earned balances will be paid in the regularly scheduled manner. Those accounts that have yet to reach the minimum will probably be the last ones we get to, meaning even if your account hasn't met the minimum it will still be paid out.

Thank you,

But this doesn't mean anything

I sent couple emails after and tried to reach them on ICQ, nothing....
