Topbucks
 

I am new here. I just signed up w/Topbucks. I have a question for other webmasters especially those who work w/Topbucks.

Do you think Topbucks can offer better/or more benefits/features/tools, any additional products or services to help us to convert better?

Thank you for your help.

I think topbucks does a pretty good job with banners, and fhg... there's always room for improvement.. but i think they do well.

Topbucks = Top.


You will make money.

We offer all the latest tools and the hottest sites. We have new hosted galleries, banners, and promo material weekly.

Hit any of us up if you have any questions.

ICQ #: 147-945-440

What kind of improvement do you think? products/services etc.

only thing i can think of is better quality thumbs for their movie fhg's

Do you mean larger size or more light ...?

Topbucks is one of the best companies to do business with. They are outstanding and have a impeccable reputation.

I understand that, but I thought that there is always room for improvement and we can help them by providing them with our suggestions on how they can make it even better for us to do the business. Thank you.

There is always room for improvement in any program and we're certainly open (always open) to suggestions from webmasters on how to improve TopBucks.

We've got some great things in the works right now and will be communicating more in the near future. In the meantime, hit me, Jenn, Trixxxia, HappyPeekers or Angela up with anything you need.

If you have suggestions for us....bring 'em on :thumbsup

AMEN!

webmaster2006 - if you have any suggestions and that goes for everyone else too - whatever you want to see or whatever you expect to have as tools, you let us know. We acknowledge there is room for improvement and although there are big changes (for the better) on the way, we want to be sure all your questions, requests and requirements are met! We are not only listening, but we're responsive to your needs - vocalize them please :)

move to nats or anything else, for some reason I don't quite trust their tracking system

You signed up as an affiliate for TopBucks, or you're researching for TopBucks to see what more improvements could be made? :)

If you're on the prowl, maybe tackle this one:

Instead of doing img src='image.jpg' in your feeds, can you do img src="image.jpg"? Having the apos instead of the quotes differentiates your feeds from others, but not in a good way.

Sorry if I'm smoking crack, but I'm pretty sure it's TopBucks that has this issue. :)

Dear TopBucksTrixxxia,

My need is to listen more experienced webmasters and their suggestions. Thank you very much for your intervention. :1orglaugh

Yup, TB did a great job of improving their feeds based on user suggestions. They're night and day from what they were! :thumbsup

edgeprod, looking at that now but IE7 doesn't show me the raw code it shows me the feed 'clean' but will check with the RSS guy to make sure it's done with the " rather than '.

Thanks

Just like we know you would, because you're on the ball! :thumbsup

Thanks for making the lives of quite a few ABP users easier. :)

Love Topbucks, hate the rss feeds... at least for blog posts..

1. The titles are generic, if i remember.. something like:

"Scene 142...." or something like that instead of a custom, creative title to grab the users attention and solicit interest.

2. Cruddy, short feeds with very little text, (like 1 line :1orglaugh ) and either no, or very low keyword density for the niche. So... uh... basically useless, but thanks anyway. :winkwink:

They changed them, based on user feedback, as far as I know. People have ICQ'd me saying they got a LOT better.

Ah shit... now what can i bitch about?!

The sponsors with bad feeds? :1orglaugh

I'm not going to argue with you - there's is room for improvement in our feeds. They've come a long way but they are far from perfect. I don't think there is too little text BTW (but comparing with the other sites I personally pull feeds from, ours are amongst the longer ones) - but then again, I'm pulling the RAW RSS feed and not the other stuff (so not sure if those are served differently)

The title issue I agree with.

I have many ideas of what it should be but I need to pick some good blogger brains to see if it's humanly possible and if getting it implemented will get the right results I think they would.

LMAO cool was wondering what you were getting eheheheh

Thank you very much FHM.. that is sweet.

We appreciate all of our affiliates hard work as well!

I must say.... we have an AMAZING group of hard working people here at Topbucks .. I have been more than impressed the past 2 months I have been here and am very proud to be associated with them as well! :thumbsup



Please feel free to hit me up anytime :winkwink:

Actually, they aren't taking credit for it but a lot of the user feedback and criticism was given by edgeprod (before he bought AutoBloggerPro) Chio when I kept telling him my issues with my ABP, he would tell me what was wrong with our feeds, JACE - he gave a lot of help on fixing stuff and tested it for me cuz I was having WP issues and couldn't, Jayeff - he helped me understand WP a whole lot more - so this is my official THANK YOU :)

Hey, hey, no need for us to take credit. It's not much work for us to make suggestions -- it's just nice when a host LISTENS. :winkwink:

It's just one big love-fest in here! :1orglaugh

That would be stupid because half their webmasters would quit.
Many people hate NATS for various reasons.

I love topbucks :thumbsup

My one suggestion would be to not let the movie trailer's "expire" on the tours.

With how cheap bandwith is these days i believe the increase in sales/conversions from surfers teased by the trailers would more than pay for the added bandwith. Especially with the popularity of YouTube, more and more the internet is video-based - and sites that dont push the video aspect of what they offer are losing ground to their competitors that do.

Topbucks is one of the top 3 reality sponsors in terms of the size and scope of their offerings. And the 2 other top reality sponsors don't expire their trailers - which says something i think.

just my :2 cents:

Keep up the good work TopBucks! :)

agree on the expiring trailers, thats a big deal for me. also they need campaign tracking.

all I need is a link

In your opinion, who the other 2? Thank you.

Topbucks has a secret forum where you can post your suggestions:2 cents:

Already in the works. The non-expiring trailers - most trailers are directly linkable now - but I gather you're referring to the older sites with trailers that were long gone right?

A link for what exactly? :)

It's only available to the affiliates. GFY is great to get a broader response + I personally like to hear more about who's not an affiliate or who's not actively promoting. My active affiliates have me on the speed dial equivalent for the net to make sure I know what they want, when they want it and in what flavour. :1orglaugh

This is a great thread for me to come back to hehehe - I've keeping off the boards for a little while - but constructive criticism always grabs my attention.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Top Bucks rocks :thumbsup

Hi Trixxxia,

the expired trailers seem to occur on more recent episodes.

For example this episode:
http://www.gangbangsquad.com/s2/gbs-s2-133.html
has a date of Oct 5th but the trailer has already expired and not viewable anymore.

TopBucks should consider not expiring trailers - I think short trailers help to convert surfers into members - please see my reasoning above. :2 cents:

Thanks :)

PornHero

Top Bucks is one of the best (if not THE best) adult sponsors.

I hear they are coming out with cool new offerings.

I can't wait!

:thumbsup

TB also has an internal forum where you can post and ask things :)

Offer last names to the porn chicks to identify them better?

I know Allison had pulled one out for us a few months ago and that Juan had requested it become a standard tool. Will follow-up with them on where we are with that.


PornHero - regarding the expiring trailers, looking into that issue for you.


Thanks

First, thanks everyone for such great feedback.

re: Last names, you asked for it and you got it! That's been part of our sites for about 1 month now when the last names are available.

re: expired trailers, we've actually done a variety of testing to find the magic # of trailers that maximize overall ratios. But you do bring up some a thought that may work even better (something to investigate).

I love all this feedback and we're working on a whole list of new features and improvements for the TopBucks system. As a reminder, if you have any good ideas you want to share, suggest them on our TB forum to earn $250 :) It's an easy $250!

Thanks,

~Alli

Topbucks are probably my best sponsor ever. Ratios are down a little at the moment but the team work so hard to get things working better and better all the time. Thats why I continue to promote them.

Topbucks RULES!!! so fucking good

That should be done now - is there anyway you can double check? You know if I do I'll break either WP or ABP LMAO

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. As Trixx, and Lee, and Alli have said, we're always looking for ways to make things better for our affliates and for those who are thinking of joining up! We are online to talk to you as well, so you can contact me if you have questions or suggestions for Topbucks. You can reach me via ICQ (my ICQ is 278-907-409).

Also, i know it was addressed, but i want to just restate that our RSS feeds have been revamped, and we are offering a lot more text and photo options in our feeds.

We have, in fact, added a lot of new tools to make making money easier for our webmasters.

Thanks for the input everyone! :smilie_we

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Sure, but only because I love ya! Just a sec.

Update: pulled the feed, activated the ABP image-downloader, and it's golden! I only tested ONE feed, but I'm sure our users are going to be HUGELY happy about this. :)

TopBucksTrixxxia,

Could you please add <pubDate> tag into your RSS feeds, because otherwise they can't be imported correctly.

For example, if you open http://rss.topbucks.com/?revid=xxxxx...feed=staticvid there will be the following code:


However it will be just GREAT if you fix it as follows:
Note the <pubDate> tag there.
