As stated in the other thread where you began this.

We are working on adding it into the software to show exactly how many hits go to each page of any tour.

I honestly think that is clear enough as to our direction, even prior to this issue.

May seem like a 5 minute fix, but software doesnt work that way, when it is released it will be announced at which point it will be in everyone's stats as we had previously planned.

I'm glad we agree it's a good idea then.

You may not like the way I asked... same as I dont like the way you market yourselves.. but simply answering the first question like that would have not only shut me up... I would have walked away 50 times more impressed with you personally.

Hey John - yeah but the EPC (earning per click) Exterme Paychecks is one of my best programs and I expounded to the webmasters the importance of EPC over conversion ration in the text above and and also noted that you guys do count your clicks raw.

If I wasn't making money with you guy then you wouldn't be anywhere near my top ten, seeing as I work with at least fifty different sponsors.

Learn to pay attention and comprehend what you read. He already told you this but you don't listen. Instead you carry on crying and attacking people you don't even know, that's a real mature way to go about your business.

touche'

Idiot.... go look after your customer service.. its probably 4 days behind.. you might have a few one line responses to send ;-)

Do you really want to keep this discusion going? I left John with the last word in the other thread..

We could start with some more questions about if John really ever plans to show webmasters an honest hit count... his last answer sounded like more double talk to me really.. but I had thought it was best to let sleeping dogs lay and see what happens.

Hey opti, I got an idea if you don't like the way we do things then don't use us! No one is twisting your arm telling you have to be an affiliate of Extreme Paychecks. We do appreicate all the webmasters out there that are sending traffic our way and for that we pay out up tp $40 per sale. Don't like it? Open your own pay sites and start your own affiliate program. This way you'll have something better to do with your time then once again attacking someone you don't even know with bullshit accusations.

Harsh accusations...

Quote:
Hey John, speaking of click numbers. Any chance of having your stats show frontpage raw clicks so anyone can see that extremepaychecks counts correctly.... rather than only showing second page uniques (under a column heading that says RAW) like the scammer programs always have.

Opti
followed by a page full of extreme double talk...

I guess the accusation implied is that I think you guys do it on purpose... I still think you do... and as far as the likelyhood that you will EVER show webmaster an honest raw hit count... almost nill.

But like I said... all we can do is wait and wait and see cant we.

Let's see, here is just a short list of some of the accusations that came spewing from your mouth:

"I am sick of sponsor programs that think they can dupe webmasters. There is no reason why an affiliate program should not provide a proper raw hit count imho... unless they want to mislead the webmaster or hide shaving that is."

"Your MO is to run around skiting about your conversion ratios..."

"And you ARE NOT honest about it..."

"rather than only showing second page uniques (under a column heading that says RAW) like the scammer programs always have."

"Nothing you said is any reason why you can't display a TRUE click count for webamsters... you simply choose not to.... Using it as selling point all the time is close to fraud imho."




Now you want to come off like all you did was ask a question!
Well thats not how this all start, it's because your unprofesional, imature and apparanlty ignorant as well. If you had a question, all you had to do was e-mail Extreme John, not attack him for no reason, execpt to get your 15 minutes of fame on a webmaster board. Extreme John answered all your questions and you keep going on and on and on with no purpose but to talk shit, get over self. Your wasting everyone's time now.
And once again you don't like it, move on end of story!

Good lord...what is this GFY? LOL At least all the drama is keeping my thread at the top.

Opti - have you ever seen Extreme John? He's a pretty big dude. There have been times I wish there wasn't the internet separting me from someone who's attacking me! Yeah, sometimes it sucks that there boards exist only in a virtual sense...

A vicious ass-beating is often a viable business option.

I've made a lot of sales with EP, I'm happy with the numbers, I get my checks everytime / ontime, and they always reply to me when I contact them.

I don't know what your deal is with them.

The chances of me coming face to face with ExtremeJohn one day are probably pretty good... I sure hope he doesn't want to kick my ass then... but even he did, I don't think thats any reason to not say what I think..

Call me abrasive if you dont like the way I ask questions.. but I dont think you can say the point of the question was unfair. I'm pretty sure you are one person that would speak up if you had felt as I did too!

I didnt turn it into a ongoing piss... and am not the one wanting to keep it going. I dont even think its an enormous issue... Just like ExtremeChris I think if a webmaster doesnt like the program or the size of the checks they get for their traffic.. take it elsewhere. I guess I was just at the point of thinking about doing just that... this sure didn't do anything to change my mind.

*edit: and apologies for my part in the thread hijack..

On a serious note, Jay I thank you for your input on the thread and ofcourse for using Extreme to begin with, and ofcourse im extremely happy that your happy.

Opti, I never had an issue with you bringing up a concern or a question, and I never will have a problem with an affiliate, non affiliate or anyone else bringing something up that they are curious about. It was how the message was brought up, not the message itself.

What I will say is that your little side comments and digs are what made this thread go bad, things like:

"same as I dont like the way you market yourselves"

How do we market ourselves? By purchasing advertising spots on webmasters boards like green guy and jim? or is it the buttons in our sigs that gets you bent? Thought everyone had those little things. Please dont confuse my personal response to someone's personal attacks as marketing, although you may not like my response Im honest (the same way you felt you were being when you brought the topic up), there's no rules that say I need to kiss anyone's ass, because I dont, the same way you dont have to shut your mouth and you didnt.

"I guess the accusation implied is that I think you guys do it on purpose... I still think you do... and as far as the likelyhood that you will EVER show webmaster an honest raw hit count... almost nill."

It wasnt done on purpose, it was simply the best way we could do it at that moment. As far as your "nill" statement, I guess now would be the time to zip your grill and wait and see, statements like that just go to show how little you really know about me or my program.

On the lighter side, I feel I answered the initial question, so I wont continue to waste my time backing up over it again and again, in the same fashion Ive made my point about how you went about making your point, I wont go back over that again, unless you choose to continue making remarks and accusations or little digs you think might go unoticed.

Could the next Extreme Niche be really fat midgets with amazing sun tans?

I finally have time to surf this post and read Jay's stats the talk has turned sour. My fault for not getting in here sooner.

Hat's off to you Jay for posting your stats.

My outclicks have never matched any one's raw clicks and that includes my outclicks from one of my servers to a raw counter on another one of my servers. I learned a long time ago that I can create ads that surfers will click like crazy but ratios may go from 1:100 to 1:2,000 when using those. I can do the opposite as well and take ratios from 1:2,000 and send them to 1:100. I can change those ratios without affecting the $$$ I get at the end of the day.

Isn't the important thing the $$$ in your pocket at the end of the day?

Is it just me - or am I the only one reading stats in a dark room?

EP - counts 2nd page clicks mostly
though NOT on every site - through a single email I found this out.
And I would venture a guess that a single email to EP will list what site counts what hits.

CEN, TB and quite a few more - count 2nd page hits
Other sponsors count 1st page hits.

This isn't rocket science to figure out.

Look at your 1st click sponsors - see what you're click through ratio is as an average.. add them all together to get an overview.

Look at your 2nd click sponsors - find the ratio to ADD to find an approximate 1st click ratio.

Then evaluate the sponsor.

You know Your traffic, and You'll know what is normal.

Ie 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% of my 1st click sponsors go to page 2.
So what is that ratio? And what is the inverse to multiply times?

If you're promoting through TGP only, your ratio will probably be low, but through LL and SE traffic, it may be quite high, I don't know.

I personally don't see any reason for any of this disrupt a working relationship.
Do the math - then .

If it works for you fine, if not, then it's your business decision.

This board minimizes nearly All of the GFY B, and endless posts to waste time on. I've found an email here, or an ICQ there solves 98% of problems, my own included!

(yes I do promote EP - personally my stats are not out of line with any other sponsor doing the math above - just in case you're wondering)

Opti - this message is for not only you and EP, but the many newbies and lurkers this post may supply answers too - K?
