BangBros please contact me
 
I've sent messages/emails with no response. My sales have dropped to virtually nothing, and found out that your site isn't tracking my clicks. My traffic is awesome. What's going on?

We are having the same problem with them, I have sent emails and contacted them via ICQ and not one reply.

Same here....lower click tracking, ono sales, it sucks....

mrkris 05-01-2006 05:35 PM

Yeah. I was converting Oxpass at 1:5 to 1:10 give or take, and no it shows me as sending 4 clicks to it LAST PERIOD TOTAL, with no sales. Yeah, something is wrong.

markyman 05-01-2006 06:02 PM

I have to agree something is up, My sales have dropped to almost 0 in the last 8 days, usually average 2-3 signups a day. something is wacked

why wouldn't they? They're big enough to not give a damn about smaller (>10sales/day) affiliates.

I think its safe to say after reading this thread and others that there is something seriously wrong over there.

Hmm my stats show 0 clicks.

Agreed - :warning

V_RocKs 05-01-2006 07:15 PM

I think it is safe to say they obviously don't give a shit...

If I had a gross income of over $20,000 a day I think I'd pay some 18yo fuck nut in college a grand sum of $65 a day just to check this forum before and after classes and let me know when I am missing something...

A free option? Well, there are several services that will let you know when bangbros is mentioned in a thread title... etc...

Really fucking rediculous... When I bitch about some programs like Twisty's I get an instant response from Shap... I bet he is getting an email about this thread 15 minutes after I post it.... Shap, can you show Bangbros how it is done?

I'm investing $xx,xxx in a few projects this week and I'm sure as shit not going to include a single BangBros site in the mix. Most likely not going to include Nasty Dollars/oxcash in it either since they're the same guys. There's plenty of other programs that will treat me/my sites like they deserve to be treated.

Millionaire? no. I didn't send them THAT much traffic, but if you ask Sperminator, the traffic I sent was highly targeted and converted like crazy.

last period we sent 2204 clicks they recorded 783 Raws!:error :error :error :error :Oh crap

edgeprod 05-01-2006 09:44 PM

They're fucking cheating their balls off. I contacted them SEVERAL times about this, and they have IGNORED the threads. Sent an email to Jordan, AS REQUESTED in one of the threads, got NOTHING.

It's bullshit. You can't do anything about it, because they're a top sponsor -- you know the deal.

edgeprod 05-01-2006 09:58 PM

Here are the threads where I did my noob-bitching, and got no response (well, besides Jordan asking for an email, then ignoring it):

fucking-around-and-business-discussion/506619-program-paid.html
fucking-around-and-business-discussion/591901-wtf-wrong-bangbros.html
fucking-around-and-business-discussion/591900-wtf-wrong-bangbros.html

My *original* contact was with Penn, which was *also* useless.

From pipecrew in the other thread: "oxcash has been paying everyweek for years. You either did not reach a minimum payment or you were terminated from the program for something.. Feel free to email me and i will look for it.. jordan at oxideas.com"

So, I sent the email, and said:

Quote:

Hard to believe or not, it took 20+ phone calls and many emails to get no check, despite a promise from the brass over there.

We sent 800,000+ clicks. They claimed their billing solution didn't process our signups, despite the fact that the billing provider (epoch, at the time) showed signups and rebills, yet Ox Cash's system didn't. They showed $50 on 800,000 clicks; it was laughable.

We called, complained, got a promise to follow up, got an excuse about affiliates trying to cheat, got another promise, no check, another follow up, an excuse about having problems with Epoch, etc, etc, and then no check again. Nada to this date (almost a year later). I don't really care, to be honest. It was only 6 hours worth of traffic -- if our servers had been down for that period, it would have been the same net result. *shrug*

I've never heard of OxCash cheating ANYONE, so it really surprised me. It was probably only a few thousand dollars (well, not including rebills) so it's not really a big deal. I think they're 99% reputable, but the thread is about being cheated -- and we were.
Carol sent me this in 2003:

I then called Penn. He said it'd be fixed. Nada. Next, I followed up again:

Finally, I sent a kiss-off .. the explanation I posted was: "Here's the "kiss off" email to Penn, after sending over 800,000 clicks to the program, seeing people sign up on Epoch's side, and seeing nothing on OxCash's side. After this, the Epoch account was emptied (down to one signup showing, then to zero) and the OxCash account password was changed. Hopefully, this helps you get some perspective on the situation. We sent 820,000 clicks to the program, documented by their own system. *shrug* Penn had a decent explaination over the phone, though: apparently, a lot of affiliates will cheat clicks through, and then demand payment. Still, it sucked how we ended up not working with them going forward -- they converted thousands of signups for us (granted, we didn't get the money), which is an AWESOME ratio."

And the kiss-off was (edited to make it shorter):

Quote:

Penn,

I've left you numerous messages at this point, and I cannot continue to follow up with someone who is not going to return a phone call. You and I had an understanding that you were to contact me within a week concerning the underproductive nature of the traffic we sent you, or the misreporting of the stats, whichever the case may have been. I would have expected you to at least do the professional thing and return a phonecall. Compounding this issue, we sent 821,205 clicks in a short space of time, and even that didn't rate us a call back or an email.


Thanks anyway for the time you initally spent.
Still no response. Not to threads here, not to emails, I haven't (and won't) get shit.

Just change your links to a program that cares.

No offense, but that isn't enough traffic to know how their conversions are. 10 sales in a row could have been right around the corner.

I got $50 from 820,000 clicks. That's a better indicator. Especially since it turned around and did a 1:80 ratio with SexKey, TopBucks, etc. and did awesome with PPC like Sex.com, TopCash (when that existed for porn), and others. It's a bad example, though .. Epoch recorded TONS of sales on those clicks, but Bang Bros never showed it on their end. "We're working on this -- we've heard it from several people, and are trying to get a fix" was what I kept hearing over and over .. they even posted it in the "affiliate news" section.

Just remove their links and move on. They have enough webmasters, and make enough money -- they don't care about you, or anyone else, really.

Again -- no offense.

Woah... Nasty Dollars is NOT the same guys... It is 1 guy and he split from the Bangbros to do his own program with his partner. They are run very differently. One spares no expense to keep shit tight and working and the other keeps trying to cut corners...
