What would you think if you had a link that said "Check out these couples on Webcams"
...the link is to this site?
http://www.wildcamdate.com/?Ref=evilempire
The Adult FriendFinder ref code isnt for me and I like how they are promoting their TGP as well.
What whats up with that shit Legendary Lars and Streamray?
Why doesn't that surprise me? :rolleyes:
Giv'em hell Gonzo, take no prisoners.

Looks like all the streamray sites are redirected to pump up that TGP as well as someone elses AFF ref code.
I wonder if that belongs to Lars?
If you used to use Streamray links now is a the time to check them out.
Pretty shrewd move....advertise that massive pay out and then flip the links when no one is looking.
Anyone from Cams, Streamray or AFF want to comment.
Whos ref code is on those pages?

Same business model that others have made fortunes with.

This from the Zoo to bump the thread but this time is AFF....
AFF!! Please explain this to me.... my links not working
Ok.,,
here is a link for one of your FHG with my linking code & affiliate id
http://adultfriendfinder.com/go/page...id=g763772-pct (http://adultfriendfinder.com/go/page/tgp_ffadult_44&pid=g763772-pct)
notice the pid=g763772
when you go to the gallery,
why is it that instead of pid g763772 it shows p181022 ???
on another note,, seems the id is getting erased all together if it is used with trade script? All the AFF galleries on my site at http://www.xxxdates.com (http://www.xxxdates.com/) , when visitor gets sent to gallery, my id is completely erased?? This does not happen unless it's with the trade script url before the gallery url
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sure hope he gets better support than I did. The dude is still getting back from lunch since I first posted this thread to give me a post mortem on what happened.
The best I got was the system "burped".
I will be sending all my commmunity traffic anywhere but these 2 sites.
I recommend swappernet, livebucks, aweempire and adult date link.

That's twice they've been busted out for same offense. And both times they covered it very quickly. Ok, so either they're scamming fucks or their software sucks.
Next time someone catches 'em, do screen grabs and save off the html source as well, it'd be interesting to do some real investigation.
And if you are giving them the benefit of the doubt and running them anyway, I might suggest putting a little monitoring on your links to them. Any site monitoring script will do, give it your affiliate link as the URL to be monitored and have it look for a few key items on the page and alarm if anything doesn't look right.

At least most are smart enough to not change the affiliate landing page itself, but do their monkey business a layer or so back. Blatently changing the landing page to something totally different is a big ole "fuck you, we think you're stupid so we're going to steal your traffic right in front of your face" to the affiliates.

Playing dumb just makes it look worse, at least blame it on a database error like last time you were busted.
I'll ask a straight up question though....
Regardless of reason, whether it's bad intentions or honest errors, why would an affiliate want to continue sending you traffic when there seem to be frequent problems getting the affiliate link to go to the page the affiliate intended....or at least one he might get paid for.

well seems that
AFF are the absolute basest of scum in this business. They make guba look like saints...they'll take traffic stolen from you with spyware affiliates...they'll steal traffic from you with deals with ad/spyware trash - not one of you fuckers has the balls to stand up (aside from the thread starter) - sleazydream is fucking bought and paid for. Adware and spyware companies look to them first.
Fucking cowards and sigwhores...you'd rather deal with thieves that are cool on message boards than have any balls. I hope you starve to death - which won't happen...none of you will give up your 2k a month to say anything...
It's absolutely amazing...you'll beg for scraps from someone that is stealing from you - openly. I hate all of you...with a passion.
Think about it - other people pay more...they don't have URL fuckups-they don't require a certain amount of traffic...that are always off from your scripts.
Yet you people beg for the chance to kiss ass. Look at this thread - you deserve it. I hope they profit from every bit of content you pay to produce.
It's fucking amazing - you've announced "steal from me" as long as your checks clear.
I'm seriously thinking about giving away 10K just to leave this place with fucking ass kissing sigwhore starving and take the actual webmasters away.

hehe, I can't edit the post now, but obviously I meant I haven't had any 'luck' with Sreamray's stuff.
Now, I need to see my therapist to find out if that was a Freudian slip, and if so, what it means.

Aff is a total scam we all know that. Also they very rarely pay. Streamrayfor some reason when A check gets issued to me it takes almost a month for me to recieve it when I am 1 state away. I believe these guys are always up to some sort of scam.
it is funny how I keep bringing up all of this on GFY and lars never seems to respond

With all the adware scandal going on... the attemps at Sean to tell me nothing was wrong and Lars being forced....I figured Id bump this thread to remind Sean thatyou guys never gave me a post morteum on what was going on with my traffic.
Recent events seem to confirm my intial suspecions....
keep pressuring them and you might "force" them to scam more to cover potential losses arising from uncovered scams and bad PR. it won't be their fault. damn you Gonzo! stop forcing people to steal.

Let's all stick our heads in the sand and pretend we really believe anyone can pay $105 per signup or whatever the specials are these days and NOT fudge, scam, shave or skim.

i dont think that paying out 105.00 per sign up for them requires shaving or stealing. their average member are most likely spending well over 500.00 - meaning total sales divided by total number people who spend money.
generally, people just really seem to have no idea what cam members are worth. thats how some of these companies got so huge, so fast to begin with. ;)
imagine paying out only 35.00 per join to your paysite (or even much less for years because of how commissions are structured)... where the average member is worth 500.00 - 1000.00
free money :)
being online since 98 and having the volume of rooms online that they do, means a whole lot of repeat users... spending a whole lot of money every month, for a very long time.

Or is it that I was right all along.
I guess I know why you redirected my streamray traffic to AFF now.
Was this when you guys first started your "campaign" with Zango?
