There's more reasons than just the amount of content, it's the quality and the airbrushing of tats in photos then they magically appear in the videos as one example. Surfers are upset about many things inside. I think you should start listening to them and especially listening to your webmasters. Even if it was just the amount of content being an issue you should have put more in it to begin with. If you can't keep a member longer than a month there's a problem. Just waiting for it to fix itself over time with updates is not going to cut it. Your webmasters are loosing tons of money waiting for the lazy fix and you guys don't seem to care enough to correct the problem.

You also have to consider the source of the traffic being sent to our sites. Any experienced webmaster knows that some traffic converts better than other traffic, and some retains better than others. Blind hits and forced clicks aren't going to do as well as targetted SEO stuff. I think this is an obvious statement.

So 99 percent of webmasters are sending shitty traffic is what you are saying? If the traffic generates the initial signup then the traffic is good. Period. Retention is your problem, not the affiliates. Retention ah nothing to do with where traffic comes from. A credit card being used to sign up is a credit card being used to sign up. Period. If you can't keep them rebilling it's not the fault of the traffic nor affiliate. Passing the buck (blame) onto your affiliates is irresponsible. Sorry to say.

I am convinced that our business model works. Our prices for membership are right up the middle of the industry and on target. I don't see any problem with that. Our processing and stats are top notch as well. I take it very personally when I see accusations of shaving or shady practices. This has never and will never occur.

You may be convinced but your affiliates are certainly not, ass kissers aside that is. There are major problems retaining members within your sites. Obviously that means it's not working. Yes, I know most of the sites are brand new, but how do you explain it for older sites? Ok,. so the problem mostly boils down to lack of content on the new sites because they are new.. the ADD MORE! The choice is clear, you want to make more money right? You want to keep affiliates right? Do what needs to be done and stop blaming everyone and everything except your own company's mismanagement of sites.

No serious webmaster should be concerned about conversions and rebills at either Triplexcash or Teenrevenue. We're in this for the long haul. We DO HAVE a solid reputation for taking care of our affiliates, especially in times of crisis, and we will continue to do so. What that means is we're listening.

I can't believe what I just read here.
Serious webmasters should not be concerned with their conversions and rebills with you guys at all when they're losing money on your sites?? So you're saying that even though rebills are practically non-existent that it's not a cause for concern? So serious webmasters shouldn't be worried when they are losing money off their bottom line on your sites? I don't understand the logic.
I'm not trying to bash you or anything but some of the things you said in damage control were utterly ridiculous and I am pointing it out since nobody else has the guts to do so. From blaming affiliates for YOUR sites not rebilling to not stepping up and doing what needs to be done to fix the problem even after admitting it's part of the problem. Amazing. And youw ant people to continue trusting you with their "shitty" traffic? |
