What the fuck adultfriendfinder?

I was wondering why i wasn't getting paid out on my accounts. Now you guys are just out right fucking people :mad:

marketsmart 06-04-2008 04:20 PM

been that way for a long time.. its bullshit, but would you expect anything less from them?

crockett 06-04-2008 04:20 PM

Yea fuck them.. it's bad enough they support every site on the net that steals from us.. now they wanna fuck you if you stop sending traffic on old sales? Why anyone still sends them traffic is beyond me..

DateDoc 06-04-2008 04:21 PM

We stopped sending traffic around the time the zango came up. Since then across all accounts been getting 40-50 sales a month since then. Now i be damed if i let them take those sales that are owed to us.

WiredGuy 06-04-2008 04:51 PM

From the sounds of it, if you stop sending traffic, they stop crediting you for new sales. It doesn't refer to anything about your old revshare sales from being stopped. It doesn't seem that bad, just need to call them if you want to re-activate your account to send new sales.

could you please clarify if you stopped sending any traffic/sales or if you were simply sending much less than in the past?

I heard about this rule from them, but overall it's a little confusing to me

I quit sending traffic period...


Wiredguy you bring up a good point. If thats the case they need to clarify what a new sale is. Also i save the affiliate agreements so now i gotta go find theres from 2002:Oh crap

AK 06-04-2008 05:40 PM

yo.... you seem to stop sending to us as well.
what should i do to your account? lol

Sosa 06-04-2008 05:47 PM

that's fucked up in my opinion.

The Judge 06-04-2008 06:00 PM

How can he make new sales if he stopped sending traffic? What they mean is that they are not going to pay him for the recurring sales in his account.

He can still getting sales from the old traffic; from the "free members" who later convert to sales. :2 cents:

The same thing happened to me.

pornpf69 06-04-2008 07:52 PM

welcome to AFF reality!! they will fuck you in every possible way... (and most ways you can't even imagine)

boneprone 06-04-2008 10:48 PM

You should threaten them with an attorney.

tiger 06-04-2008 11:14 PM

How is a recurring sale seen as a new sale? From the wording, I see this as cutting new sales, not existing, recurring sales.

It sounds like they're talking about free member converting to a paid membership. I have people that do this months after they sign up for a free membership.

bronco67 06-06-2008 08:01 AM

Why does anyone do business with them, when their site is obviously scamming consumers? All of the pictures in their ads are fake.

gleem 06-06-2008 09:02 AM

I've been saying this since 2002, they are the only company that is widely promoted that can get away with holding your sales/rebills for traffic ransom.. any other sponsor that would pay you a less % if you send less traffic would get shitcanned so fast, and obviously no one would dare yank your rebills if you stopped sending traffic.



WHY DOESN'T AFF EVER SHOW UP IN THESE THREADS??


They are holding my rebills and old member sales ransom too, and I'm frankly sick of sending them my 100 uniques a day to get my money.

gleem 06-06-2008 09:02 AM

I also hate that they only show up on the boards to announce the same "10% bonus this month" spam threads.. they have been doing that same contest for 5 years now and trying to make it a big deal.

Exactly.

It's been years since I wasted time, but I know they promise your the one tier, and in no time if your traffic or sign ups are not where they think they should be, you are dropped to some other tier giving you a few cents.

It's B.S.. They are the adsense of adult.

RayBonga 06-06-2008 04:35 PM

That's a scam if you ask me.

You send the joins we don't pay, fuck them

Whats wrong with adsense?

boneprone 06-06-2008 05:52 PM

I dont get you people. Will All the AFF haters on boards youd think no one likes them. I mean ive never seen so many hate threads towards them than any other company. Yet these guys are at almost every webmaster show and everyone kisses their ass. Everyone likes them in person. I know this for a fact, becasue Ive been with em at shows before. Everyone likes them at the shows. ITs crazy. Yet the masses here hate them.

Why dont you guys cowboy up and go confront these guys at a show?
Give em a piece of your mind. Yell at them, bitch at them face to face.
Hell even get violent if you wish.. Id love to see that!

Ill pay $20.00 to the first angry webmaster to go slug an AFF rep!
Lets take action! Fight the power!

Violence is always the answer!

You'll at least feel better.

Big news for everyone, FLING support stolen porn content aswel, why does everyone focus on AFF?

Plat 02-17-2009 05:37 PM

Ya same happened to me last April 2008
 
I stopped getting checks from AFF but still get from my Cams account, I called them on the phone in 2008 to see what was up, they claimed had a new rule u have to send at least 5 free members to them or whatever to keep ur acct activated...

I was with them from April 2002 to April 2004 and it figures deactivate my acct on the same Month I signed up with them two years prior...

I had stopped sending major traffic to them in 2004 when I closed my site to the mainstream. But was obviously on revsharing and had alot of recurring members... so i got decent checks from then till 2008

I had the guy from AFF pull up my acct over the phone and I was like ok, ive made u how much money in the past and u do this to me wtf?

http://www.pimproom.com/porn/aff.jpg

oh and ya that 650 area code number is non-working as of now which I just found out cause I just want my revshare back, ive been sending them 5 members a month now, I need to give them a ring see what they are gonna say now.

HookUPcom 02-17-2009 06:29 PM

They lost like $34M on revenues of over $300MM last year. Thank you for helping them to make that up! 90%+ from affiliates.

i am just guessing here but i would guess it's too late. Aff basically told him to fuck off with his traffic and now you want it back.. my suggestion is to beef up your automatic account disabling when it afffects clients who have made you thousands and thousands of dollars :2 cents:

Will you also be refunding him the profits aff made while zango ripped off your affiliates ?

Just out of curiosity is aff still buying traffic from programs like zango that target your own affiliates ?

SpeakEasy 02-17-2009 08:37 PM

sagi is an Idiot and scum that needs a sharp pencil shoved in his eye .... If you still do biz with these crooks then you deserve to get screwed. There are plenty of good programs out there to promote, why send to know scum bags? They are the ones almost single handedly allowing illegal tubes to exist.:2 cents:

VIOLATION Section 2.52 Para: 2 of GFY CODE.

Zorgman 02-17-2009 09:43 PM

That sucks. Some scum bags out there.

goldfish 02-20-2009 07:59 PM

This has been going on for years... Now the 50% drop in rebills since the 15th of this month that is something new.

One thing I learned about AFF a long time ago, don't trust them, send them just enough traffic to keep your account open and get out. I have been in get out mode for 2 years.

Here's a little secret. If you pull the source code of your stats page, you can see when they last made changes to the code. In every instance except the latest the v.date has been the same day as the traffic drop, sales/rebills drop etc... I brought this up to them once, they permanently upped my revshare payout retroactive to the date of the change. I have been in get out mode ever since.
