Fucking unprofessional sponsor, lame site not converting... DRAMA!
 

Ok, I won't even say anything. I think that the ICQ history speaks for itself.

The sponsor is Amateur Allure, enjoy:

Tranza (12:02 PM) : Hi dude, could you please have someone check my account to see if everything is ok? I'm at 0:4500 for the last 10 days, and my average conversion for the whole time I promoted you guys is around 1:800...

Jimmy-3-Way (12:40 PM) : Didn't you drop us?

Jimmy-3-Way (12:48 PM) : The most prominent place I see traffic from in the last 10 days is Pichunter. That stuff is pure hitbot. Sorry, dude we can't convert bots. No credit cards.

Tranza (01:14 PM) : Lol, that's my best converting TGP traffic, next to Marks-Bookmarks. Not to mention what you said is pure bullshit abot the traffic coming mainly from Pichunter. And I hadn't dropped you because I talked to Jim and he sounded like he knew what he was doing, he looked over, talked to the techs and my sales picked up. Just like I suspected.

Tranza (01:15 PM) : A simple: "sure, I'll make sure someone checks your account over", would be nice. I guess you don't want me as an affiliate any longer.

Jimmy-3-Way (01:15 PM) : You already told me you weren't going to push us, then yo slammed us on GFY,

Jimmy-3-Way (01:15 PM) : You want me to blow smoke up your ass or tell you what I see?

Tranza (01:16 PM) : I NEVER slammed you on GFY. Guess what idiot, I'll do that now...

Jimmy-3-Way (01:16 PM) : Sure, go for it.

Jimmy-3-Way (01:17 PM) : You asked me a question, I gave you an answer. What else do you want a handjob and a pat on the back?


This whole conversation shows just how unprofessional this guys are. Their affiliate area is down at least 4 times a month, and everytime I complainned about it they only say: "Sorry, it's not our fault". Not to mention it sucks big time, feel free to check it for yourself.

Sponsor dropped. Webmasters beware.

And Jimmy, this is for you: :321GFY

sig spot

Wow what a piece of shit

thats not very nice lol

That sucks.

:(

ouch........

2 sides to every story.

daymmmm....:(

what did you expect from Jimmy-3-Way? he delivered exactly the same shit he have been doing since the beginning

What sponsor is it..?

Obviously went to the same charm school as JTF....

Amateur Allure

if that icq story is true... i dont think so, but to be sure we need to see all icq logs between tranza and that company :pimp

:1orglaugh

every think it was just bad luck with those stats? It's only 5 sales. Not like you average 30 a day and the last ten days you have 0

I certainly wont be promoting them!!! Thanks for the heads up :thumbsup

Well, thanks for the info. I will not sign up for sure.

I've been around a while and I've noticed that sponsors that talk shit to affiliates when a issue comes up have usually faded away to nothing.

Mainly I think they die out because the issue was real and they never fix it and other webmasters quit their program but never complain.

Like the ICQ logs where I tell Tranza time after time after time after time after time that I don't do affiliate support?

Those?

hit me up. i need some exclusive templates made for my galleries.

Amateur Allure has been going strong for TEN YEARS now. I'm sure we're not going anywhere.

The reason we've been around so long isn't because we're "talking shit" to affiliates, but because when an affiliate asks us a question we give them and HONEST answer and don't sweet talk them and blow smoke up their ass.

thats terrible, talk about not talking to people in a proper manner

oh snap!

and I think you should stick to that policy..... :upsidedow

I think that so many people complained about his program before, since it sucks, that everytime an affiliate asks for help he feels the need to bash them.

Oh, OK. Thanks for the reply. I've totaly changed my mind after reading it. :1orglaugh

What an asshole.


What program is that? I'll be sure to steer clear.

I would have got the handjob then dropped them.

Last time this happened, Jimmy-3-Way pretty much tld me the same bullshit, and I was pissed and told him I was going to drop them. The same day their affiliate support contacted me saying he was sorry to read the conversation I had with Jimmy and told me that the techs were going to check to see if there was anything wrong. Surprize surprize: they found some errors and I started seeing sales that exact same day.

looks like your traffic doesn't convert very good on a lot of other sites.

Just show me 1 of those, asshole.

fucking pwnd

someone should get pichunter in here, lol.

Yep, that was 1 day, as I mentioned on that thread.

I'm sure you convert your traffic very well every single day.

Get real.

Good idea. I'll let Tom know about this.

owned:1orglaugh

This is a hrd work and it should be cooperation from both sides...
If I see such answers - I think he should close his affiliate program...
I'll not be an affiliate there...

Dude, you just pointed out above that you ALREADY KNEW that I'm not affiliate support at AA. You've known that all along.

Why do you keep coming to me and getting pissed when I don't hold your hand?

You are not polite and show no respect toward the people that generate income for your program.

Business lesson 1: Show courtesy and respect towards the people who pay your bills.

Tranza did the right thing by posting your conversation in here to show everybody what type of character you are. Now we all know how you treat your affiliates. :thumbsup

nope, it doesn't. ill be the first to admit my traffic doesn't convert that good on amateur allure from hosted galleries. i've been in the business long enough to know when you aren't doing good with one sponsor, that you need to move on and try a different sponsor that converts with your traffic. all traffic is different. i've sent se traffic to amateur allure and it converted awesome.

i think jimmy3way was an asshole the way he handled it, but you should be glad he was honest with you. ive had several sponsors say "oh let me take a look at your account and help you out" in the past, well chances are theres no helping you and they just don't want to lose your traffic. you need to go find a sponsor that converts for you and move on instead of bitching about it several times on gfy.

Sun is not in they face

I think it's kind of silly to blame a sponsor for everything here. If your traffic doesn't convert with them, pull the links and put up a new one. I'm not sure why people always assume that contacting a rep or sponsor is somehow going to magically fix bad conversion ratios. If a sponsor knew how to magically turn your 0:4500 into 1:500 with the snap of a finger, they wouldn't be in need of affiliates.

You also have to take into consideration that 0:4500 is a fairly small sample size if you consistently converted at 1:800. A nice little run with that sponsor and you're back to where you should be.

I guess I don't put the onus on the sponsor. There are simply too many out there to sit around and worry about one. If they don't convert with your traffic any longer, move on.

Sorry if I was rude on my reply to you beemk. I apologize for that.

I get what you're saying. But the point in this case is that their affiliates area is down at least once every 2 weeks, and I had this problem with my account before. And after the techs took a look at it they found some database problem and my sales started flowing THE SAME DAY!

As you can see, I approached him asking if he could tell the techs to take a look at it again, nothing else. I still wanted to promote them. This is not going to happen anymore.

I?ve always had good relations with AA as a model, as well as, a DTC sales rep and Jimmy has always ALWAYS been courteous to me no matter what info I needed. :thumbsup

Thank You Paul and Jimmy-

See sig ;)

Tranza has great traffic, so I doubt that is the issue.

Bump!

I won't let this one die easily.

Oh please.
