Topbucks
 
Every 2 years they close my account


http://www.pwpwpoker.com/images/stor...c/topbucks.jpg


The problem is that each time i have to mail them and each time they seem to forget that they owe me money.
I send a little traffic (few hits) to them, but from time to time it converts...


Of course i don't promote a sponsor if i think it tries to rip me off...

Sly 07-26-2010 02:24 PM

And fixed.

We do this to clean up our database because we have over 60k affiliates. Everything continues to track and whatnot. Many times the information we have on file for WMs is no longer valid, person no longer works there, etc. and we cannot get in touch with people regarding their account.

When we go through an do an inactive sweep, it clears out many that are no longer around. While it does catch a few that are still active, it does get your attention to contact us and hopefully we can discuss more ops for biz. It's not done to "rip you off." We reactivate anyone immediately that asks.

We do apologize that some accounts do inadvertently get turned off due to the sweeps, but there is very little way around it.

If we owe you money, tell us and we'll get you paid out.

You should check for people's last login.
For some sponsors i need years before i make enough money to get paid.

We do check for last login, however one issue is StatsRemote and NiftyStats. Many show that the last login was recently whereas we can see there is no activity.

After this round, we will more carefully evaluate how we do these. Lesson learned.

Well don't you think that it's kind of weird for people to see a site like youtube and
facebook that have millions of millions of accounts but somehow 60k accounts is
fucking up your system?

I mean what happens if you have 60k signups, do you delete the members that
haven't logged in and kill your rebills because you need to clean out the database?

No, I don't think you do that.

I like topbucks, but really, your explanation of this procedure sounds like a bunch
of dumb shit to me.

"Inactive accounts" aren't even making request to your servers or the database so
how is this a performance issue or space issue or any issue?

I got more videos with descriptions/stats/etc in my tube site than you have
affiliates; but I don't see the need to clean out my "database".

As a programmer I can't take this explanation seriously.

Come up with a better one or hire a programmer to fix your database.

If the database is "bloated" with referring URLs/etc from inactive accounts then why
not just delete referring URLs/etc after X amount of time?

It's not the load on the DB, it's just all the duplicate accounts (before we had campaigns, or someone who wanted revshare and PPS) and just inactive accounts.

Let's say WM X has a great site to promote us on for a site we just launched. Well we keep emailing him and emailing him only to find out he no longer exists. It's just cleaning it up so we can use it better and serve WMs better.

LongBG 07-26-2010 10:21 PM

nice to see a problem solved.

Tjeezers 07-26-2010 11:01 PM

weird explanation, not of this time also
just does not seem right to do this.

I dont like this at all, no sir.. not at all..

But the person does in fact exist. They just don't check that particular email
account because there is nothing in there except "sponsor spam".


I joined Trafficcashgold before they had any gold in the domain. :1orglaugh
And even though I didn't promote for 8 years, I still logged in and and got hosted flvs
a few months ago and sent signups that were counted and they sent a check.

(check went to the wrong address :1orglaugh But that's my fault.)
