SilverCash closed 28 sites
 

I just noticed they did it 2 days ago. Most traffic is forwarded to correspoding niche sites but few (list below) were forwarded to general multipass site and I seriosly doubt that traffic will convert there.
I have lots of free sites promoting these particular sites and I'll definately go through all of them and change links to other matching niche sites

Brown Hair Girls
Red Hair Sex
Amazing Gang Bangs
Cigarette Sluts
Perfect Orgy
Pregnant Bang
Super Bush
Secret Fetishes
Fist Bang
Taboo Insertions

THIS SUCKS BIG TIME !!! |banghead|

I really hate it when these things happen and I have to change all my links |catfight|

They did? i do remember i had a email from silvercash some days ago, but i cant remember it was about closing sites.........I HATE CHANGING THOSE FUCKING SPONSOR LINKS|angry|

That really bites - like the hairy pussy traffic we send to Super Bush is gonna convert at HD Porn Pass.

I understand that some sites don't convert overall, but why not just switch them all to revshare & just leave them there. Hell, put right on there "Cheap Price - No Longer Updated"

Here's the complete list/notice:

Thanks for posting the info GG:)

Don't panic just yet......that's all I'm gonna say.

panic where, what, why, how , me panic, panic , panic....grin just joking:D, but gonna dig up some old domains with the paysite links which need to be changed....damn i cant believe i missed that info|banghead|

Uh Oh. That cant be good. Maybe the sales werent so good on those sites :(

Well, at least for the most part the redirects are going to similar sites. Maybe its time to push HD Pass :)

Added this stuff to the todo list today. Good times. :/

Again - wait! Don't panic just yet.

I seem to remember changing out a bunch of their links maybe a year(or 2) back when they dumped a bunch of other sites.|banghead|

And I work mainly in very niche sites so dumping to a general porn site just doesn't work.

Hey guys..... I just read this thread and I agree that you are onto something with the revshare thing. I'm working on a solution now. Im going to try to put all of the removed sites back into the program but forward them to a revshare option. This way you guys can share my misory ;P j/k Some do better than others.

Some of these sites just don't make sense for us from a financial standpoint. The days of surfers joining and staying for months on a site with hardly any content are gone. As a matter of fact most of these sites lost a ton of content when the 2257 rules came out and should have been removed back then. None of these sites had exclusive content and when the new reg's came out we weren't able to get the docs for all of this conent and most of the members areas were wiped clean and down to a very little amount of content. To make up for this we added a number of feeds and access to all of our Reality, Sologirl, and HD sites which were all exclusive content sites. However, these days even throwing all that at the members isn't enough.

The surfer has become very specific in what he wants. There is so much free porn that if he's going to pay for something it's more than likely going to be something specific and you better have exclusive, updated content or he's not going to be there for long.

Most of our original sites from 10+ years ago were basically front ends with shared members areas. Then eventually they all had their own bought content. Those days are far gone.

I hate to remove those sites but all together they weren't doing very many signups between then and they weren't making much money if any money. Basically we were handing out lost money on a some of these.

On the other side of this there is some good domains that get some good joins. We are going to be trying to add in bought content that we can slide in easily without having to encode stuff.. "harddrive ready"
We are working on some major projects that require our entire staff to get completed. So the problem is finding time to address the so called "bottom level" sites with the least amount of traffic.

It's a juggling act of trying to get new top notch product and find time to update the old stuff.

I hope this helps... we are doing our best to do what's best for everyone long term. Surfers, webmasters, and SC employees

Putting them all to revshare would be great. Will our PPS links still work (and give us revshare sales) or do we have to change them?

Thanks for the info! Please keep us posted on what will happen to the domains and all.

Nice one Greenie! Dropped a hint about revshare did ya? |thumb

Yes, you're PPS links will still work but will be paid on rev share. Once we add content to these sites one at a time we'll put them back into the PPS option.

It's nice to know that you can still complain to a sponsor & they will listen :)

hehe thanks :)

I think most of them are thinking of how they are going to implement their next 10 hidden cross sales on their join pages ;)

It's not complaining when it comes from you Mark|thumb

Very informative thread and congrats SC to keep listening to affiliates |thumb

Are non-exclusive/feed driven sites like circuspenis, footcravings, grandegirls, hotnudegranny, kinkymaturesluts, interracialsexfest and sheshuge going to continue with PPS?

I see one cross sale check button on silvercashs sites, would it be possible to get an option to get rid of that as well and lower payouts another 5$ or get that as an extra option?

I see why it's so hard to sell free trials today, because the two sponsors I've tried who had free trials have 2 or 3 cross sells, I mean isn't that just asking for charge backs? I know that strategies like that would have your sites closed if you were based in Denmark where I live.

I just took a look at Silvercash, and the sites looks great, and that one cross sale is a non recurring one so I guess it's bad at all.

Kind regards
Sodo

We all have to suffer through the dreaded sitewide link change process, but its just part of the game -
