So much for affiliate support from HODOUGH.COM
 

Just tried asking (Andrew) for free account so I get access to their content so I can better promote their sites and the guy thinks I'm a surfer and refuses to provide "decent" affiliate support.

Not a good first contact...
Not a good look for the company I have listed in the best spot on my site

www.hodough.com
No affiliate support

Kareem hits me up on ICQ, I have no idea who he is and he asks me for a user and pass to our sites. He signed up last november and has not sent any traffic nor sales. I told him our policy was to send a few sales or have one of our current webmasters send a reference. So he decided to be immature and post a thread to make us look bad. Obviously he's got issues.


Best,

My site just opened up last monday.....
Not a good look...
you guys don't give a fuck about affiliates

Andrew has always been helpfull with me.

haha two sides to every story :upsidedow

Andrew (03:07 PM) :
no offense, but anyone can point me to a website and say they are a webmaster, and I get surfers doing it all the time. Do you have someone that can give me a reference?
Platinum Lantern (03:07 PM) :

I got a user / pass from Jace several days ago to look into their site. I haven't even registered as an affiliate yet. I thought that's how this webmaster business worked?

and the fucked up part about it is that I figure them to be one of the better interracial sponsors

he actually left out the beginning:


Platinum Lantern (12:59 PM) :
hello?
Andrew (12:59 PM) :

Andrew (12:59 PM) :

haha, well, I have seen you around on the boards and shit...

I am pretty cool about giving passwords away though, they are limited time....

honestly, if someone had started a conversation with me like that, it would take a HELL of a lot to convince me they weren't a surfer looking for handouts

Nice stuff btw. I do plan on signing up but I had a busy week.

Now my account is disabled
You guys have one hell of a business plan for handling new affiliates

Haha sure, but I talk like that sometimes just to fuck with the reps. :1orglaugh

O'rly? This thread needs more views then, bump.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

yo send me a pass , i want to spank one out

***** a---t optonline.net

What's A Phone Number I Can Reach Hodough.com
I've Tried ICQ But I Was Thought To Be A Surfer When I Did That?

My Account Has Been Terminated
With No Notice

Great Look Hodough.com

That's my position, Thank you.

I feel the same way .. I know Andrew a little and i think his response was appropriate .. He can't know everyone and I think people get offended if you don't know them from the boards .. It would have been easier to have another webmaster just say your all good ..:2 cents:

So my accounts canceled...

ok evry1 hand over passes , my yogurt slinger is filled wth cum and ready to blow

another program kareem has pissed off:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

btw,anyone who scams GTS shouldn't be in the buisness period.DH runs a tight ship and his service is top notch (no DH never bought me drinks at a show)

You post a thread to make my company look bad and you are surprised I cancelled your non active account? Man, you really have a strange way of looking at the world.......

Dude, get a fucking clue. They don't want your traffic.

The way YOU handled this whole situation is just pathetic.

:321GFY

me thinks you hit the wrong thread man :)

nice sig tdf

no...Platinum lantern scammed DH on a broker deal,which shows the kind of cheater he is...also he is banned from promoting WCPCash

actually, it is pretty funny to read

i can see where both parties are coming from, but I think Platinum has a little bit to learn in the way of being professional

A good way to start a conversation with an affiliate rep or program owner would be

How did he scam GTS?

oh shit, I had no idea

Andrew you guys have any free trials?

Do you have problems with every company you come in contact with? Good Lord. Andrew was very nice to you and was simply asking for further information and you gave him all sorts of attitude.

i don't randomly hand out members passes to our area either.

one of two things happens.

1) you send enough sales to warrant getting in.

2) another program owner or someone with a decent level of responsibility in that program gives a reference.

any program randomly handing out members passes without knowing who its going to is not taking care of their content.

i think that they are protecting their investment.

members area is a privelege not a right, i wish that people would get that in their head.

Issue Resolved...
Hodough has handled the situation
And I'm adding links to their new interracial porn site as soon as I type this

1. I don't do business with GTS anymore
2. WCPCash The Company that keeps allows you to eat (for your dilligent sig whoring) has sites that don't convert and if by some miracle they do they don't retain well, so naturally I don't wish to promote them in a 50/50 proggy
3. Your a surfer.... How does it feel to watch me do business
