AdultFriendFinder Suspended my Account Suddenly
 
Hi Everyone.

Today i was shocked as i want to log in my account and i found it banned.
i have been with adultfriendfinder since 2005 and i never had a problem with them, i made over 50.000usd and today as usualy i was trying to check state of my account and i found it suspended.

I Contacted my affilate manager and she replied me.....
Probably Due to high amount of female which they suspected to be fraud but it s not.
i am driving much traffic and alot sign up inculde paid members.

Anyone could helps me?
Especially guyz whom works in aff. please review my account and helps me reslove this iusse as this seems to be a killing mistake.

Were you outranking them for one of their keywords/terms?

L-Pink 10-27-2012 02:44 PM

I think they are all flying around in a jet burning investors money right now.

elliso 10-27-2012 02:51 PM

Were you outranking them for one of their keywords/terms
wehateporn : No I Did Not ......
Although i have though of advertisting it through AdWord but Finaly i decided not as that was somehow risky due to keywords and so on, yet they would not offer me much details and i was told, better not do it

Reply for L-PINK

I used to promote it through Blogs, my websites, youtube and other stuff Online.
I Am absolutely Shocked as i don t know yet why am i being banned?

I am currently in touch with my affilate manager to find out what is the iusse.

Babaganoosh 10-27-2012 03:05 PM

There's some weirdness with AFF right now. There's a balance showing in my account, well above the minimum payout but they're not paying. Not sure if it's a stats glitch or what.

Also some of my sub accounts (like amigos) show a permission denied error when clicking on the stats links. I've emailed them and they don't seem interested in fixing it.

If a girl you where dating said she didn't want to see you any more would you ask for help getting back together with her?

They don't want to work with you, FUCK THEM>move on.:2 cents:

Freaky_Akula 10-27-2012 05:08 PM

Do they owe you money? If they do not, move on. They are like walkers. AFF is dead. They just do not realize it yet.

I would think that once you are an established PROFITABLE account the job of a rep would be to not only help you grow, but advise you if for some reason your account was no longer following their TOS ? Or about to be suspended. To suspend a PROFITABLE account without notice is pretty short sighted.

Bat_Man 10-27-2012 05:50 PM

Some of the bans are temporary. Account retrieved automatically usually. You should have been waited for a little while more.

elliso 10-27-2012 05:54 PM

Here is reply for DBS.US
I have been with them almost 8 years, I Made Good and it s getting me cash. so that is just not easy as you might think.

AFF Was the Best Always for me but Currently I Am Lost.

helterskelter808 10-27-2012 06:14 PM

Are you the guy who was posting recently about being moved from PPC? What are you doing now, revshare or PPS/per order)?

elliso 10-27-2012 06:32 PM

Shareholders are these people that invest their money into the company you are promoting only to lose a shitload of their cash. This is commonly referred to as a pump-n-dump which makes 'shorts' kings.

beerptrol 10-27-2012 08:38 PM

They probably needed your money to hire girls to pretend to like their big affiliates. Plus they have to pay for those expensive private jet flights

No reason. Just wondered. If it's revshare it seems even more strange they'd do this.

With $511 million of debt, someday things start to fall, don't you agree?

PornMD 10-27-2012 10:29 PM

One day, they're just going to stop paying. That seems pretty clear to me at least. Can't hemorrhage money like they do forever.

Chosen 10-27-2012 10:49 PM

You're not the first and most likely not the last one...
I would stay away from them...

I didn't see that, thanks for posting. They have been given until Nov 14th by their bondholders to raise their cash balance. Also this:

?Generally, when a company?s existing bonds trade at a very low price, normally they?re shut out of the capital markets and have to restructure,? said Jeff Peskind, founder of Phoenix Investment Adviser LLC"

Their rating is CCC current risk for default. They now have 12.8m cash on hand, and have apparently dipped under 10m at times, another bond threshold. They have not made money since 2006.

I still think the key is bond terms. If Conru will change his 243m bonds to equity, they might be able to crawl back out even now.

If they don't generate cash by June 2013 and get their debt restructured they will probably collapse.

Penthouse (FFN) over-leveraged to buy Various Inc. for now they are surviving, but even so the profits that should be going towards growth, employees, affiliates go strait to bondholders. It's a good example of how LBOs kill companies.

Andrew Cornu created Various Inc it's his baby, I hope he manages to strike a deal.

enovator 10-28-2012 09:31 AM

did they owe you some money? I am not surprised, same thing happened to me.

elliso 10-28-2012 11:41 AM

They always paid me on time and i never had a problem.

Does anyone have had such this experiences?
Could it be a mistake?
i expect to get my account back soonest possible as long as i can keep up with them and all sites and blogs and traffic are going to them.

Any affilate manager of aff could Helps or solve this iusse?

AdultFriendFinder.com, which helps people meet for sex, accounts for about 65 percent of the company’s revenue, S&P’s Haines wrote in the Aug. 22 report. The firm lost $31.1 million last year and reported interest expense of $86 million, eclipsing its $64.7 million of operating income.
Quote:

One of Bell’s failed ventures was a transaction in September 2011 to buy an international daily-deals business called JigoCity. FriendFinder lost about $11.5 million on JigoCity this year, then sold the firm back to its previous owner for $1 on August 1, according to the Aug. 14 regulatory filing.
... they apparently paid 65 million for JigoCity.

ImLarge 10-28-2012 12:57 PM

wow, dont look good for friendfinder

there has to be a good explanation for this. I am kidding. Its probably something not so good.

Been with AFF since 2007. Never had a great deal of luck with AFF's Affiliate managers.
Used to get more help from Tjeezer's than the person who was being paid to assist me.

In the past few months, I've sent three e-mail inquiries.
My Affiliate manager responded in a timely fashion, but did not answer my question.
When I sent follow up messages, he never replied.

I called them last week Monday, asking to have my Affiliate Manager changed.
After 30 minutes on hold, I was connected to a CSR.
He was bright enough to ask why my Traffic was down 95%

I told him I pulled my links because I cannot get support.
He apparently IM'd a higher level, then told a Senior manager would return my call.
Never heard from them.

My POV - give up.
They don't care, they are just collecting checks until they are sold.
They won't do anything difficult - like respond.

Best regardes

We found fraudulent activity in your account. So there for we closed your account.

reasons being:
It appears they are sending script generated traffic to offset their lost revenue since changing their pay plan.

signupdamnit 10-29-2012 09:15 AM

I haven't had any problems reaching a rep or getting past payments. I did notice earlier today it indicated that a payment was in progress and now suddenly there is no payment there and the balance is back. I'm not sure if that means anything or is normal. I hope they pull through. There isn't enough competition in adult dating as it is.

I sincerely thank you for this kind compliment. If there is anything you need help with, no matter our past histories of difference in certain views, I would be available and pull through.

Hope you have a good week in business.

Good of you to reply, it's always better to have both sides. What exactly, or even roughly, is "script generated traffic"?

CourtneyR 10-29-2012 09:46 AM

if i were to show you the emails, handles, and ages on the free accounts made you would know :)

when everything looks similar to [email protected] and the handle looks like jdfkja along with almost all the ages being the same.
