Its getting worse and worse over there, They release programs and changes with bad links, incorrect or insufficient info and everything seems poorly planned. I had hung around checking the board in hopes that something would come out that was worth promoting. Last week was the final straw for me. They release 10 new sites and the are nothing but champ sites with trials. So now the champs webmasters who cant offer trials are pissed. They have pissed off soo many webmasters and burnt so many bridges in the last couple of months it boggles the mind that they have a program at all.

GIM is now making champs sites and that begs the question. Why the hell didnt you just fix the backend of the origanl GM sites to begin with instead of killing all your webmasters traffic? The ARS company Line was "Trials, thats why, its killing the business" Guess what? the 10 new sites have trials.

Im so upset with ARS if they where having a $300 per su week I wouldnt promote them. I have so many pages spread out over so many different domains it was impposible for me to change the links on all of them. I watched my couple of hundred bucks a week turn into FMAO pennys so forgive me for being bitter.

I see people posting that they ranked in the top 25 webmasters and they have only 1 sale for the week. Alarm bells went off for me a long time ago.

I had my last rant on the ARS board and I am done with them. What really amazes me is the hardcore handful of followers they have admitting there not making money but still plugging away as if they are partners of ARS and not affialates. That kind of loyalty to a sponsor can be dangerous for ones pocket book.

You make some good points. ARS is mainly surviving off of legacy right now. They have some loyal webmasters that have been promoting them a long time and will not stop promoting them no matter what happens, but those looking to get the most cash for their traffic are no longer promoting them.

I'm glad I stopped promoting them long before they made all those changes to their program and shut down all their sites.
