Can you get links for Playboy sites from RealityCash.com?
 

thread title asks it all...

Can you see the links when you go there?

I only see reality cash links and mobile... Jenna/Playboy both don't show up.

Try Playboy Webmasters :2 cents:

disregard.

Reality Cash was an ill-advised acquisition for them, and never really fully integrated. The amusing thing is that there were a lot of decent and talented people at Reality Cash at one time. The Playboy ass-backward culture hadn't infested them yet.

Yes .. they said they sent an eMail to affiliates about the switch to PlayboyWebmasters .. but I never got it. I asked for a copy of that eMail for my records .. yet to get that either.

However .. the big thing is that since Saturday (or maybe late Friday, EDT) .. all of the Playboy niche sites (playboysbustybabes, playboysallnaturals, etc) .. as well as all the associated hosted galleries .. seem to be offline .. trying access any of them .. returns the following error ...

Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

And eMail sent to the Playboy affiliate rep (Sean) are getting bounced back to me.

I sent a note off to Nick (aka neeko) .. who is usually very helpful in areas like this (he's the only one there who seems to actually give a hoot) about this .. and yet to receive a reply.

So .. if anyone else knows what's going on .. I'd really appreciate it.

Sean emailed yesterday, perhaps try him again :2 cents: Maybe the niche sites will soon be redirected to Playboy Plus

LOL. No one got that fucking email.

All the niche links, Busty Babes etc are all 404, still.

Actually .. I'm hoping it's a server crash .. and that the sites and hosteds will be restored soon. Those are still some decent money-makers for me (not to mention I have years of content pointing to them from various sites). If it's a redirect thing, I would think they would have had that worked out *before* they took other servers offline.

As for Sean ... yes .. you are probably right ... trying to hit him up again is a good idea .. for testing purposes if nothing else.

Here's where I know that claim ("we sent an eMail") is a bit "fishy" ... if that info actually did go out .. there would have been a duplicate of it in the "Most Recent News" section in the affiliate site .. both Reality and Playboy .. but nothing there.

Same thing happened a few months ago when Manwin killed all the JennaCash sites .. no notice .. just gone. (In this case though .. no big loss since the JennaCash sites were pretty much dormant for years .. still, a heads up would have been nice)

But when they accidentally sent out duplicate checks in January .. geez .. that notice was eMailed and posted on the affiliate sites in like 15 minutes.

I'm not a Manwin or Playboy/Reality hater .. and I have to say, most of those I've been in contact there have been quite good with me .. I just don't like having my money screwed with .. or have my sites look like they're run by an idiot .. because the links are bad .. which in turn, screws with my money.

Okay ..the idiot part may be a little true .. but still ...

Probably whoever set those sites up has left now, still a transitional period, I'm glad it's them and not me.

Sorry .. I'm not buying the "transitional" excuse anymore .. it's been nearly a year.

On the Sean eMail issue .. did you get mail from his Manwin or PlayboyPlus account? Sending messages to the PP account (since Friday mid-morning) nets the following ...

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

[email protected]
retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period

I XX'ed out his actual address ...

So .. overall .. doesn't look good .. and the lack of communication is a bit worrying.

I received an email from his Playboy Plus account, [email protected]

I'm pretty sure that the focus now is on Playboy Plus and that the old sites are seen as low priority, one would assume they'll be redirected over at some point. The safest bet would be to point as much as possible towards Playboy Plus IMHO :2 cents:

Yup .. that was it .. got failure reports on three separate emails ..

And yes .. all my new promo has been focused on PlayboyPlus .. and Sean and Nick have been very good about helping me where they can about this .. but like I said before .. I have years of hosted galleries and related promos on the PB niche sites .. I've been promoting Playboy since 2001 .. with the scars and duplicate accounts from mergers, buyouts, management changes, etc to prove it ..

At the very least, we've should have gotten some kind of information by now about what the hell is going on ...
