my guess not too many. Anyone have a Brad in bib pic? I have plenty of him with pizza sauce on his shirts.

A lot of programs launched new tours for the same backend and called them "new sites"

You can't hide the fact that it's all just a ZMaster CD and a handful of "blowout" feeds

It's not "a sign of the times" it's the obsolesence of a business model that is playing out -- of course, you could call that "a sign of the times"

Sorry to hear for the sake of affiliates about the closing of the program. Brad Shaw is a smart guy, no doubt, I'm certain he is already fine and well positioned with savings, other investments and businesses in other industries. As for those affiliates who were PPS, they can simply change out their links. I feel for those who were rev-sharing, although they no doubt had many good years it's a sting for it to end in such a way.

Best of luck to everyone. And to whomever in the thread with the LSC comment about closure, I'd be careful with libelous statements. I'm certain that Steve's business is just fine, surely working harder than ever and retooling for the future like everyone else with new products.

BradShaw 07-28-2010 01:34 PM

Sorry I am not going anywhere, we are still running Cream Bling and Rainbow Revenue. SIC CASH was a dinosaur and needed to be closed, already fielding seveal offers on it for the value in the domains and exclusive content.

Cream Bling and Rainbow Revenue are going to be our focus. Look for big things with both programs in the future.

FYI, for those of you looking to replace their GAY sites, we have a wide range of sites that match their niches, like RealBareback, BarebackVids and RaunchyBareback for their bareback sites, AnalDiscipline for their anal fucking sites, HunkExclusives and BrokeAndHorny for their studs/hunks sites, RealGayVideos for their gay video sites, and loads more!!!

rainbowrevenue.com is not closing and still converts like mad

Zorgman 07-28-2010 06:28 PM

wow. lots of programs closing. If their sites were unique they might be doing well.

This is a insight for anyone that has generic paysites.

pornsprite 07-28-2010 07:25 PM

This is why I here at GFY to find out about the new sponsor sites coming online that convert and to be motivated by folks who agreed there is still good money in porn.

Or is that just a projection?

That was just a projection... the Lightspeed tours havent changed or been updated with new content in about 5 years so I am guessing its just a matter of time before their announcement comes.:2 cents: All those lightspeed girls on their tours are now well on their way to becoming milfs :1orglaugh

So true, now we are finding out the people & sponsors that are truly passionate about this industry and are in it for more than just a quick, easy buck - and they have risen to the top eg bangbros, pimproll, mediumpimpin etc etc)

Out this way? Its been a great run, and not over yet.

Johnny Rocco 07-29-2010 12:32 PM

I enjoyed a fantastic relationship with SIC Cash, especially Greg, when I first entered the business back in 2001. They were one of the biggest and best - bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of content. I must say, I never had a bad thing to say about them. Brad is not the only one of the "old-timers" who has taken a step back, he did very well for himself as did Greg I am sure. Greg lasted there longer than any individual I know who worked for an adult company. Good guys in my book.

Flashcash is making some bold moves right now. I got an email from them just a little while back about it. AND... someone from Flashcash added me on ICQ last week. No message from him yet but I'm sure they're up to something over there.

I can feel it. :D

I *think* Aly from our company was in her position here before Greg but I agree working with Greg was always a good thing and Shok too.

Is Greg working for another sponsor? If so, which program?

Your right, I can think of a few people that have been with the same company for 10+ years. Not that many though.

I don't intend to badmouth them but they've *consistently* been 1:6,000+ (I believe it is currently closer to 1:9,000 now?) for me for years. If they have a midget site it's too bad as I would have loved to send them traffic but I've stopped all promotion with them in 2007 when I saw the crazy ratios and I will not reconsider unless I see the ratios improve with the remnant links. :(

Anyone else with midget sites besides pimproll? Preferably ccbill, verotel, epoch, or zombio affiliate programs?

Affiliate programs can still thrive, if those who are running them evolve and roll with the changes. It's obvious the people at SIC Cash had other things on their mind. (like Rainbow Revenue, and Cream Bling)

True!!!

Some people simply can't adpat to changes.
