WEGCash no longer accepting referrals
Today?s communication with our affiliates comes after much deliberation, as well as a heavy heart. After 10 years, and millions of dollars in affiliate payouts, Wegcash has decided that the continuation of the affiliate program is no longer sustainable. Therefore, we will no longer be accepting referrals effective May 21st, at 4PM PST.
The reasons, many of which are obvious to all of us, revolve around the decline in membership revenue. The continued proliferation of free adult videos has spawned a market which does not support an affiliate program. This communication should in no way be interpreted as an industry, political or ethical stance, nor should it be deemed dispiritedness; rather, we choose to look at this as a time to embrace the future. While our company is closing one door, we are working steadfastly on new opportunities. While we could all engage in the revisionist history of "what ifs," events leading up to the current free tube models aren't negotiable; we are better served focusing on the future. We also feel that energy is better served realizing the true successes that our affiliate program brought to us, and to our thousands of wonderful affiliates (without whom we would never have achieved the success we did). The gravity of this announcement is in no way lost on our company?s staff, from executives and programmers, to its owners. The Wegcash brand was conceived by two passionate and driven entrepreneurs. Throughout the years, its continued prosperity is attributable to the hard working staff members, past and present, who stayed late, came in early, and passionately put their heart and soul into the product. It is also very much attributable to the thousands of affiliates that entrusted our brand with their business. While today undoubtedly is revealing in terms of the current market, it?s also the lore for the successful future. Our sincerest thanks to each and every one of you for the past decade of fruition, Wegcash.

that seems like a bit of a short window for affiliates to change links don't you think.

That is one hell of a perfect legal written and well thought over text writing by a lawyer.

Wow ... surprising.
WEG seemed to take a hit with the xsale stuff a few weeks ago. I have a feeling though they have enough emails to keep them going for awhile without affiliates.

hmm, no more referrals. That doesn't say existing affiliates are getting shut down, but it sounds as though its inferred from other language in the letter. Would be good to get clarification on this from some one within their team. How about Cory posts in here.

The letter is kind of vague as to what it actually means. Clarification would be good for all. Closing up shop completely? If so, when will the last payouts go out? Only closing for new affiliates? Etc. etc. etc.

Why don't they at least make their intent clear for fuck's sakes. Would it be so hard to include a sentence that says "you will no longer be getting paid for traffic, so please take down your links." if that is indeed what their cryptic email means????

no longer accepting referrals = no longer accepting (acknowledging, they'll surely accept) affiliate referred sales
They don't mean not accepting new affiliates, or new affiliate referrals. They are talking about sales.

No longer paying for referred sales effective the 21st. It is a Friday, probably the close of a payout period. Right?

Any programs still pay per email? feel free to spam here. I don't feel guilty since they only gave us a few days to change links.

pretty funny as they own http://www.redtube.eu/ which is running an aggressive seo campaign for all the big tube keywords - youporn, pornhub ....
also this company wasn't about content for a long time, they made their money off "creative" marketing and billing. |
