How many sponsors have you stopped sending sales to and didn't reach the min. payout?
 

I was thinking about all the sponsors I sent traffic/sales to for a few hours or a few days and/or used once in awhile, got sales with and then I never sent traffic to again, and also didn't reach the minimum payouts... I probably have balances in at least 20 accounts over the past 4 years that I will never see the money from, unless I send them traffic again haha. So, some sponsors got some free sales on me! :upsidedow

Anybody else do this?

Sure,,, send in a couple of hours to try them... :Oh crap

have done it with several but most of the time i send traffic long enough to reach the min payout

a whole bunch

sucks when you send 5000 hits get 1 signup which still doesnt meet the minimum cuz you know you dont want to send another 5000 for a lousy $50

I have a few sponsors like this but the amounts are under $100 for the most part so not really worth my time to change a link up to send them more traffic unless they had a great promotion to intice me.

Yes, that's usually the case with me too. I know almost immediately if I like/can convert a sponsor or site. I'm not one of those people that will keep wasting traffic in hopes of reaching the minimum payout lol. :)

Since 97-98 umm I really do not even want to think about it.
Would be nice if sponsors did a year end accounting and just paid out all the dead accounts.

:1orglaugh , won't EVER happen..that's found money

x-pays for me.I think I got $72 after promoting paris hilton for months.
In the end I just took my links down. :Oh crap

I run my mini campaigns for this, LOL
 

some moths ago I realised that had sponsors with sales that wouldn't reach the min for a check. And I was thinking wtf??!!! I guess they were around 10, now I only have 2 left. When I am bored, I run mini campaigns to get rid of them, maybe an exit ad, or a banner on some domain I am not using, etc, after a couple of months you get the freaky sale and ciao!
Also had to use other tactics......like.....I want to cancel my account, I am going out of biz....bleh, and some sponsors are honest enough to get you paid.
:2 cents: Nik
It is like when you dig in your pockets and find some lost money, nice feeling :thumbsup

Nice strategy! hehe

darkcavern,freeezinebucks and a few more

lol, probably 10 sponsors when I first started. I remember when traffic started flowing in and sales started popping, gonig back to get my 20 bucks from here and there by sending a couple signups to clear a check, lol.

Yeah, that's whats happening to me all the time :(

That's why you have to give props to companies like Nasty Dollars , TCG, Epic Cash and I'm sure there are probably a few others. But these guys will pay out no matter how little you earn.

One sponser, I have $94.97 (which is one sale) in 6155 hits. sorry, but im not gonna promote a program that A) converts so fuckin badly & B) wont release the $97 to me when asked (out of courtesy).

i emailed & icq'ed the "customer service" dude & he told me that he couldnt release it cuz if he did, then "everyone else wouldnt want the same thing". who the fuck else would know?? at least he could of been honest and just "no, i dont feel like it".

i think you should send about 10K uniques to stop promoting it. And with 10K I always reach the min
