Affiliate Cheaters

Goldbars XXX

Dear Affiliates,
As you know, we believe in good business with honesty and integrity. As such, we've recommended some non-Grooby programs to you in the past which we believe will increase your revenue and compliment your promotions with us. Today, I'd like to make you aware of a program that is not so honest.
We've been doing some promotions for a site by Goldbarsxxx.com. A personal disagreement on a forum with the program owner spilled over into a tirade of personal abuse and culminated in my 50% payout being lowered to 1% and a PM stating he'd "canceled my rebills".
So my message to you is ... promote this program, at your own peril! Read the attached images and decide for yourself.

Regards
Steven

Medium Pimpin Update

2009-04-24T01:40:00.000-07:00

Our last post about Medium Pimpin told how this program didn't update the site for over a year. The other day I received this email from MediumPimpin - SHAME on You, Medium Pimpin. Telling webasters to contact you regarding moving the money from an upgrade from one version to another - SHAME ON YOU. Sounds like you are trying to milk the cow.

Dear affiliate,

As you may or may not know already Medium Pimpin moved to NATS4 early this month on April 2nd.
We had been preparing our move to NATS4 for some time but it became quite hasty after we noticed that our old backend had stopped reporting new joins from one of our processors.

At this point we're performing well on NATS4 and most initial issues have been worked out.

There is however two things we want to take the time to update you on.

1, As previously mentioned our old backend stopped reporting new joins from one of our processors. These joins dating March 4th to April 1st will be imported in to NATS within a couple of days and paid out in full at the next payout date.

2, Some of you have reported having standing balance in our old backend. We would like to request that all of you having previous sales that has not been paid out for to email natkejs@mediumpimpin.com with your account info and they shall be added in to your NATS account.

That's it, any questions or concerns regarding our move to NATS4 then please contact support@mediumpimpin.com

Thank you,
Medium Pimpin

Just received this email from Orgy Cash - Just read the first change 1) Chargeback - We is not going to use a partner that is making the affiliate pay for chargeback. STAY AWAY.
Read email below

Attention Orgy Cash Members!

We have been hard at work in 2009 trying to make Orgy Cash the best
affiliate program it can be, and that means preparing more sites for
promotion and revamping our back end to ensure smoother functioning for
you, the webmasters. Our aim is create an affiliate program that's as
user-friendly as possible and one that is not plagued by fraudulent
webmasters trying to take advantage of the system. For these reasons, we
have decided to make some minor adjustments to our payment policies.

1) In an attempt to combat any fraudulent activity we will now be charging
the webmasters for any chargeback fines (24.95 Euros) that may be caused by
stolen credit cards or other such reasons. This will not effect 99% of
you, only those abusing the system.
2) We will be deducting a 5% credit card fee from all signups from now on.
We will continue to cover the rest of the credit card fees that our company
incurs.
3) There will now be a charge of US$2.00 for all epassporte transactions.

We hope you can understand and appreciate the need to make such changes at
this time in order to keep our affiliate program the best it can be. We
look forward to growing with all of you in 2009 and keeping Orgycash at the
forefront of affiliate programs!

EuroRevenue

2009-03-21T20:46:00.001-07:00

STAW AWAY
This is the worst kind of fraud - Now when all the good galleries have been indexed by search engines Euro Revenue simply keeps the traffic and money. We have had several reports for this company and we seriously say STAY AWAY. Some gets their account cancelled when they make money so ER can keep the profits and they are know for using Spam.

Here is the email send from EuroRevenue 16th March 2009:

Attention Gallery Builder Users!

If you are currently marketing EuroRevenue’s Hosted Galleries, and have used Gallery Builder’s Custom Gallery or Auto Builder tool to create them, you must create new galleries immediately!

Galleries created prior to February 24th with either of these tools will stop tracking properly on April 1st, and you will not receive proper credit for joins.

Again, this ONLY applies to galleries created with the Custom Gallery or Auto Builder tool. If you create galleries manually or take advantage of Gallery Builder’s Express Builder tool, no changes are necessary.

My apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you for your continued support!

Grooby Bucks

2009-03-06T19:18:00.000-08:00

I would like to share this interesting email from Steven @ Grooby Bucks

These are strange times we're living in. With the economic crisis and dwindling profits due to piracy, some companies and affiliates are resorting to dubious means of increasing their bottom line, often at the expense of alienating customers and destroying consumer confidence in our industry.

Pre-checked cross-sales are bad for the industry in general and may lead to the demise of the website business model as we know it. These companies rely on the customer not fully reading the whole page (how many of us can say we do this) and after agreeing to join a site for $34.99 may find themselves getting credit card bills in excess of $100, billed over multiple processors to make it more complicated for them to cancel or get a refund. Often the only way for them to resolve this is to cancel their credit card (which may also cancel rebills you are getting from legitimate sites). Mastercard has already outlawed this practise and if Visa follows, it's not a great leap of faith to see them limiting automatic rebills (or doing away with them altogether) or taking other punitive action against the industry.

If you are working and promoting websites that are involved in this deceitful practise then I'd ask you to have a long think about the future of the industry and where it may lead. There are many companies offering fantastic affiliate programs who work fairly with their customers and concentrate on getting that customer to rebill, rather than a flashy front door, $1 joins and then stealing $100's from them. Groobybucks is the longest running company in transsexual websites and we set the standard for others to attain. I'm saddened to see some other programs have to resort to shady practises when their were alternatives. I'd question the integrity that these companies have towards their affiliates, if they show such distaste for their customers.

I appreciate we're all trying to make money and it is getting harder to in these trying times. Groobybucks is dedicated to the transsexual niche and although we've seen a slight slow down in sales, we're confident that we can ride this storm well. We have 4 new sites to launch in the next 6 months and the much anticipated relaunch of flagship, Shemale Yum. We're working harder with other respected companies in this niche, some of which are mentioned below and good partners for you to work with and we've started the Groobybucks Blog to help you make sales with us and teach you more about the transsexual niche.

Our door is always open to your ideas and suggestions. I can't force you to stop working with any company, I'd just ask you to please, be aware of the companies you are working with, their impact on the industry, on the customer and ultimately how they may affect you.

Regards,
"Grooby" Steven
President

Uncensored Bucks

2009-03-06T17:59:00.001-08:00

The Uncensored Bucks is a sister-site for Brothers In Cash and BlockBooster Cash so the same old story. In-house affiliate system = can shave as crazy! But if you like to try your luck the URL is uncensoredbucks.com and BTW good luck :-)

BlockBooster Cash

2009-03-06T17:55:00.000-08:00

BlockBooster Cash is a sister-site of Brothers In Cash and use the same in-house system so we can't recommend them.

Brothers In Cash

2009-03-06T17:50:00.000-08:00

We have tried Brothers In Cash without any success and really don't think any of our traffic will ever convert. BrothersInCash use their own in-house affiliate system and even write this on the site. Would we recommend Brothers In Cash? No, we have no reason to recommend them. We have tried them and they don't convert and using their own in-house system is a big turn-off.

Cash Maniacs

2009-03-06T14:14:00.000-08:00

The Cash Maniacs affiliate program doesn't convert. We have tried sending some quality traffic but the program simply doesn't convert for us. So if you like to try your luck the address is www.cashmaniacs.com

Medium Pimpin

2009-03-06T14:07:00.000-08:00

This is just a short post regarding the MediumPimpin affiliate Program. We just was checking in to see was going on and nothing is happening at Medium Pimpin. Last update is close to one year old - thats right ONE YEAR. It seems to be a program completely inactive and just taking the traffic coming in.

You can see the screenshot taken today - that the last update is March 2008

Triple X Cash

2009-03-02T07:27:00.000-08:00

Triple X Cash is another Sponsor that is part of the Dee Cash Network - Dee Cash is running Epic Cash. We did test Triplexcash.com and when they changed for NATS all money earned was lost gone with the wind! STAY AWAY. It seems Dee Cash is running all the fraud programs.

Dee Cash

2009-03-01T05:44:00.000-08:00

Dee Cash is now running Epic Cash so do we need to say more? We haven't really tested Dee Cash because they run Epic Cash and being part for this known fraud company should be enough to stay away from DeeCash.com

Bling Bucks

2009-02-21T18:01:00.000-08:00

Bling Bucks is really one of the worst programs - stay away! We have send close to 2,000 unique and made only one sale beside this they never update the program the same old shit inside just take a look at this screenshot the site haven't been updated the last 6 months - it really sucks.
And it seems they use inhouse affiliate system so shaving can be done without any problems.
We say STAY AWAY from BlingBucks.com

Eromodel Cash

2009-02-20T01:46:00.000-08:00

We have tried Eromodel Cash for over a year sending good traffic but never received any sign-ups. I highly recommend staying away from they hosted gallery and only linking directly via CCbill but then you have no promo content so why promote them at all. We can NOT recommend EromodelCash.com as they either shave with the hosted galleries or the sites doesn't convert - its hard to say but not so hard to say when looking at the stats - no sales from this sponsor!

EromodelCash even ask you to send traffic to lannibarbie.com and this site is re-directed to lannybarby.com (get the picture) what happens when going from one server to another, just a question?!

Fuck You Cash

2009-02-16T11:34:00.000-08:00

Fuck You Cash - Will have updates about the FuckYou Cash program with the next couple of days

NastyDollars

2009-02-14T01:38:00.000-08:00

NastyDollars.com have not really impressed us at all. The have some good sites and fine galleries but that only help Nasty Dollars if the sites doesn't convert. The signup ratio is very low for our Search Engine traffic. We can't really find out which backend they are using seems like some in-house backend system :-(

We received this mail from Nikki Santana:
This doesn't surprise me. I also find it interesting that Nasty Dollars is sister company to Bang Bros. These people don't tolerate "spamming at all" which is understandable, but isn't that how they started their buisness.

Their only interest is themselves.

I have never made a dime form either companies affilates. Not to mention working for them as a porn model is not much better.

IA Cash

2009-02-12T01:33:00.000-08:00

After test-driving IA Cash for several months we will have to say thumbs down as this site doesn't really convert when ratio is like 1:1,100 we have see enough and is not going to send more traffic for IA Cash.

It's a shame because they did have a couple of nice sites to promote but promoting and not earning is not fun!

VTCash

2009-02-11T16:30:00.000-08:00

We only have two words for the VTCash.com affiliate program "STAY AWAY"

Sweet Money

2009-02-10T01:28:00.000-08:00

SWEET MONEY!!!! What an excellent name for this program! Sweet Money is for sure one of the BEST affiliate programs around. We have used this program for years and always been 100% satisfied with them.
And our ratio 1:108 that's a ratio pretty hard to beat.

If you are only going to use one sponsor then stop looking - Go for SweetMoney.com

Entertainment Cash

2009-02-08T20:10:00.000-08:00

We received this post from a webmaster regarding EntertainmentCash.com

EntertainmentCash.com will cheat you - they just fucked me for only 70.00 but none the less i sent the traffic im glad i didnt put it on more of my sites, fucking cheaters and wont respond to you on icq or by email.

payout is 50.00 i wanted to try them out, i made 70.00 i didn't get paid on the 1st, which is payout, so i contact them via email , several emails in fact, then finally after a week get a response, here is what it said I'm copying and pasting

Subject: Re: Question

Hello, thanks for the inquiry about your payments.
Do you by chance have an epassporte account?
We prefer to pay webmasters via epassporte.

If you don't, you can sign up for one in just a minute at www.epassporte.com

If you decide to use it, please email me your username, and I will do your payment immediatly.

Best regards,

Francis
Entainmentcash.com

I of course have one and did so, waited 5 days got nothing finally tracked down Joe S. from entertainment cash, by googling for a icq number, got ahold of him, asked about payment.
he said he would do it right away this was now 4 days ago, see him on icq and have icq'ed him again and again, in my account it says they paid me, well i sure as hell don't have it, its the fact i was cheated and run around not the 70 bucks that's nothing.
wish id saved the icq history but didn't. i've talked online to the owner joe S. on icq at 34661631 and he says he is paying me one day then does not then the next acts like this is the first time he got a message or a email from me, beware beware they will get you,

PayServe

2009-02-07T17:53:00.000-08:00

We have been using PayServe for several years and have only been happy with the affiliate program. PayServe have several good site to promote and have lots of hosted pics and movies to help you convert. They keep the site fresh and adds gallery all the time so you always have something new to offer you visitors.

Devil Bucks

2009-02-07T07:59:00.000-08:00

Devil Bucks is the new name for Adult Movie Club - We have tried AdultMovieClub.com aka AMC without much luck and don't really feel like send more traffic this way.

But if you choice to try DevilBucks be sure to have lots of time for the site is damn slow.

BTW - Looks like Devil Bucks use some in-house affiliate system so shaving should be pretty easy!? DB is not using NATS or MPA not that these systems are shave free but makes it a litlle harder but with own in-house aff. system - Shaving is no problem.

EuroAds

2009-02-07T07:47:00.000-08:00

EuroAds this program really sucks. They are one of the worst General Affiliate we have used. Do EuroAds.com shave? I hard to say but its easy to say they don't convert - we mad less then a buck for over 40,000 impression this have to be the worst ratio in the entire industry.

Even worse you can check where your traffic in coming from and the backend is some in-house affiliate program so the can shave as crazy as the like.

EuroAds is not our cup of tea and Our advice: STAY AWAY

Blazing Bucks

2009-02-07T07:16:00.000-08:00

Blazing Bucks have the slogan "Hot Sites and Cold Cash" maybe a better slogan would be "Hot Sites and No Cash". The is for sure one of the worst sponsor we have tried. A nominee for Xbiz Award - this tell a lot about Xbiz and their award show.
How much money have the paid to be a nominee? If Xbiz just did the job and signed up for this site and tried to promote the would see no conversion.
We say - Stay away for Blazing Bucks!
No money to earn from this sponsor!

BB are using the shaving software from MPA!!!
