The New ARS version 6 - something to keep an eye on.

Bill · 2004-09-18, 03:54 AM

Well, since I still dearly miss the old ARS, which was a great fucking sponsor in my opinion, I'm going to have to do some testing with the New ARS Version 6.

I wasn't too thrilled with this past years ARS stuff, 4real and so forth.

From the arsri board-

Kevin said:

"The 1st phase will happen on Oct 1st:
New ARS website, with a streamlined interface.
20 NEW niche sites to promote
$40 Per Signup Payouts no limits, no minimums
Join page linking

The next 2 phases will bring new sites and new systems that everyone can benefit from. We want to give you back the ARS you loved, and that made our webmasters huge profits. We are determined to bring that to you."

This is what Marc De said:

"We will have:

12 Reality Sites ($40 per sign up)
10 Video Sites (Adult Movie Matrix - $40 per)
20 Traditional Niche Sites ($40 per)
1 Cam Site (HSN - $25 per FREE)

Everything will be under one umbrella again. Very easy, very simple.

The additional products will be on Ad Rev Service (non adult), CHAMPS will be broken out completely to become Adult Video Planet and will be operated completely by Option Mind.

All the sites (outside of HSN) will be run by Storm Media, a new company that is operated by Becky That will help a ton.

To answer the question of paying $40 per, we will be paying on credit card sign ups only (checks will not count as a referral, but no worries, it only makes up 10% of referrals). Also, since the sites will be operated by Becky we will have a better opportunity to capture more value per customer which will allow us to pass that on in the commission.

Also we call it v6 because (believe it or not) its our 6 Generation of ARS. We call it Phase I because its part of a 3 Phase development which will come in the following 8 months."

the old ARS would be great to have back... but... with them moving so much stuff around does this mean changing out every ARS link again? or are the linking codes gonna stay the same and they are just adding more stuff to promote?

Trax · 2004-09-18, 05:26 AM

Really looking forward to that one....

Bill · 2004-09-18, 05:43 AM

Supposedly they are going to take all legacy traffic and send it to the closest niche of the new sites.

Some fairly big changes to the rewards store too - they have ended the gift card option and cancelled gift card orders. But they say they'll be back to redeeming points for merchandise almost immediately.

Kinky · 2004-09-18, 06:03 AM

hmmmm..... i'm getting deja vu LOL... i guess maybe the last reinvention didn't go so well for ARS... or maybe they are just branching out to meet the needs of their webmasters... either way it should be an improvement...

Greenguy · 2004-09-18, 07:38 AM

Anyone know if they are bringing free or $1 trails back (besides HSN)?

Nope...

This was posted on their board:

"$4.99 3 day trial will pay $40 per sign up"

stuveltje · 2004-09-18, 02:48 PM

i sell better paid trial then free or 1 dollar so i am looking forward to this...............i think

DangerDave · 2004-09-18, 06:33 PM

grzepa · 2004-09-18, 06:47 PM

I cant wait to see it ready ! $40 is quite a nice amount for a trial.

Ms Naughty · 2004-09-18, 08:53 PM

Well, here's the latest bizarre thing:

They've jettisoned Champs and Option Mind... and now GIM have announced they're taking over Option Mind and GIM.

This is the same GIM who ARS said responsible for bad retention, and then not long afterwards they were hired back to run the movie matrix sites.

ARS makes me into a masochist. I don't know why I've kept coming back for more. I feel like putting a big sign on my head that says "ARS got me again" along with the "Kick Me" sign on my back.

Linkster · 2004-09-19, 07:14 AM

Bill - I was one of the Wms that had gift cards ordered - quite a large amount actually - when they announced that our orders for gift cards were being dumped - which I had ordered for 4 months - I went ballistic - but then they offered to get our orders into the que right away since we had been waiting - Ive already recieved three of the items I ordered last Thursday - and the last two should be here this week based on tracking numbers - nice

Greenguy · 2004-09-19, 07:45 AM

grandmascrotum - it's also the same GIM that runs Pimp Roll which is converting rather well for me

Bill · 2004-09-19, 04:54 PM

Linkster, you lucky dawg! ;-}

I still have a major pile of points there myself, but I was waiting for their infamous 6-8 month backlog to clear before trying to redeem them.

They say points are carrying over and they will still have the points program at ten cents a point- so I figure eventually I'll redeem them.

I have to admit I liked the gift card option, but better merchandise than nothing.

It will take a long while before I would trust ARS the way I used to, but I'd rather see them succeed than disappear.

Can that, I will never trust ARS the way I used too. The days of trusting sponsors are over.
