I signed up to 6 new programs today.
 

Jeesus...

Good guys to, that post here and very active on these forums.
All 6 got problems of one sort or another.

One is execuseable because they are changing alot of shit around and I had some good dialog with them, they want my business hands down which is a good thing.
3 of them have email problems, 1 of them has totally substandard content to the "New Awesome Site" that has no near relation to the site to promote! Its not even new content!
1 of them has stats issues.
2 of them will not allow a loggin and password to work with a new account even after confirmation.

Holy shit if I knew programs were in such bad shape I would open my own...
Is this kind of shit the norm?

I have my steady sponsors I done biz with for years thought i owuld branch out a little today...

Fuck what a headache.

AlienQ you are going to end up like the guy in your sig :P

These threads would be a lot more useful if people posted actual information like program names.. It will also get the programs to fix the problems a lot quicker if they kno they are being called out..

You'd be amazed what I have to deal with when promoting tons of sites. Half the people don't even look at their pages I think.

I play in this game, thats how it is...
If you play you would do what I do. Mind your shit about real sensitive stuff, keep business business and keep the drama out of it.

Just thought I would warn folks that it may not be easy to get into programs from time to timeor maybe 90% of the time. Who knows but my sponsors are business partners not people I want to kick around.

WHat shit I say on these boards is 90% entertainment. 10% of what I say may have truth to it or facts to some degree and are business related. But rest assured 100% of it relating to sponsors and respect is kept in the business arena. Not the drama arena.

AlienQ invented fucked up programs...

i just came all over my hand

So many programs always having problems that go unnoticed until someone says something to them... sites down, broken links, missing images, busted join forms, etc. All things that can easily be prevented but most programs don't make any effort to have decent systems in place.

Sorry I can not take credit for that. I have never opened a program.
I only invented them.

PS: Thats no shit either, I helped design and develop one of the first adult affiliate programs on the web. there were no out of box solutions or premade scripts nothing...

Hard to imagine that day but it really was not so long ago.
If you can recall Intertain Online during the race to affilaites programs with CE and intergal.

Sooo.. Sorry you started this thread why? :1orglaugh

You are telling us NOTHING you want to warn us? Well then tell us WHO :1orglaugh You are a post whore.

AlienQ runs Netscape 4. :(

One of the first adult affiliate programs? when? back in 1993? Wow that musta been hard.

The very first adult program was late 1995 if I recall correctly and my best sources of information because it was blurry even for the experts. Not 1993 ya mental midget.
Can you tell us who it was Mr. Wise guy?

I am betting probably not you were still popping pimples in yer moms house and beating off to shit I made.

Nah is pretty normal. When i hit them up on the ICQ they give me some lame excuse. I at least tipped 20 sponsors last 4 months on errors in their tools, or whatever they have for me :) it is normal...

Do you currently promote TopBucks Sites? If not, you should! We have been in business for many years and continue to set the bar.

I received an email from a program today stating that I need to add a valid phone number to my account and that I have to fix this issue before my check can be sent out.

Well, that would be just fine IF they had a place to actually add a phone number in the "settings" area lol :1orglaugh

Wow that is pretty crazy. I check my sites over and over and make sure everything is working correctly before launching.

Yeah, that's pretty crazy. I had some "easy" problems with just a few sponsors out of hundreds.

try cash for nuts , I hadn´t any problems with it!

What you should do is tell them about the issue and see just how long it takes to be fixed. That shows a lot. Email them at 5 in the morning or on Saturday. Hell just email them in the middle of the day. Calling them out on the boards might get them to fix it right away but only because you did that. You can't just run to the board everytime you have an issue.

maybe if you had any traffic you could judge

Hit me up and I will tell you what programs are good or not.. :thumbsup
