Sponsor promo days piss me off sometimes...

HowlingWulf · 2009-03-12, 02:50 PM

You know these types..

$100 signup day on Sunday!*
(*Must email us with the amount of joins you got to receive the higher payout within 48 hours....)

Specifically, this is the latest Triple X Cash promo.

anasporn · 2009-03-12, 03:39 PM

personally, I refuse to push sponsors like that. YMMV

Greenguy · 2009-03-12, 03:57 PM

You can thank the brilliant marketing people at Dee Cash for those. Their network is notorious for that crap.

I think most places blame it on NATS, where they can't change the payout for 1 day or you'd have to use different codes or something moronic like that (I don't remember what the example I heard was)

anasporn · 2009-03-12, 03:59 PM

I've heard this more associated with Archive Cash, but then again I have been out in left field for a few years.

Greenguy · 2009-03-12, 04:02 PM

I think you are correct. The people that own them also own a lot of programs.

I personally don't care anymore about the 1 day sales events - I tried it with one or 2 & it was a pain in the ass. Just give me reward points like Pimp Roll or ARS & I'm a happy camper.

The one I have personally seen the most board threads about is TrannyPay.

Anyone regularly offering High PPS promos for something other than a new site launch, relaunch, etc. is highly suspect in my book.

Maybe that's why I promote mostly revshare programs.

hashbury · 2009-03-12, 08:43 PM

What kind of promos would you guys like to see for revshare programs?

70%

Toby · 2009-03-12, 09:01 PM

I'm happy with revshare programs that pay 50% and rebill well,

I'd rather not see special promos unless they're launching a new site etc. and are running a PR campaign. I'd rather see that time, effort and money spent on keeping the sites updated and affiliate content fresh.

Same here. I *had* a sponsor like that where I was averaging approx $90 per sale on 50% revshare ... then they put in some ugly cross-sales (very decptive IMO and I can be damn lenient!) and raised the revshare (but no credit for those cross-sales) and tried to convince me I'd make more with a $45 PPS.

I didn't fall off the newbie truck last night! Pulling links as I find them.

HowlingWulf · 2009-03-12, 11:42 PM

I'm a fan of the random prize patrol type. For a pay period one sale gets you one ticket and at end of period X tickets are chosen for random prizes. That way I feel I have a chance against the 'big boys'. I'll spend effort to promote that. I don't like the 'Send 100 sales in a pay period and we'll send you an iPod!' type promos.

Toby · 2009-03-13, 12:01 AM

Just make the site convert and retain. If I'm making sales and rebills I can buy my own iPod.

Exactly -- the only measure I look at is the cheques I receive. Actually I don't even look at individual cheques but rather at the year-to-date income.

I remember once getting an AWE check for a huge amount and going to investigate and found I'd won a random prize -- I hadn't even known the promotion was running so it had zero impact on how much I was promoting them.

Presumably these deals attract more webmasters or they wouldn't do them -- but surely it will attract more newbies who are hardly who they want.

bDok · 2009-03-13, 10:19 AM

Promo days can piss me off too. The fact you have to email them kinda sucks. Whatever though. I do it with one program and a couple pay period ago just sending an email got me an extra couple hundred bucks. Felt it was worth the couple extra minutes. Now this is a site I promote on the regular so it wasn't like I went crazy tossing banners up all over to make the sales happen.

One project however I need to work on is just banner spots that I can rotate in and out really easily across my network. One day I'll have this in place. Then I can try to at least take advantage of more promo days.

faxxaff · 2009-03-14, 11:19 AM

In many cases their timing is unclear and a bit catchy/shady. Like one time they had a 2 day promo ... you would get paid the promo on day 1 and 3, but it wasn't valid for day 2 in between ... I hate this promo BS.

Dead on.
Could not have said it better.

LeRoy · 2009-03-16, 04:45 PM

I tried it once by building and submitting a bunch of freesites before the big day.

I did get a sale on that day but I put the wrong link up

But it rebilled yesterday and that's 30% of the 100.00 sign up. So if the surfer rebills another 5 times I'm cool.

Anyway I dont play games with contests after that.

I'll just stick with the tried and true and that's "Revshare"

bDok · 2009-03-16, 08:06 PM

when fuck you cash had it for the sites pimp parade and 40oz bounce I really liked it. Even with having to email them. I wish they had it on those sites still.

Me too. I about fell over when I opened a $500 check from PimpRoll for one of those, I didn't even know I won, lol. And I like the points too, I keep telling myself I'll trade them in for something eventually.

But I love rev-share the most, not some sell more this day and get a bunch of money crap. Rev-share is what kept me going through the slump of the last few months. Thankfully, sales are picking up this month, which for me historically, is when they do.

Toby · 2009-03-17, 11:25 AM

I had to laugh at promo I read yesterday.

Send 150 joins before April 1 and during Phoenix Forum the sponsor rep (female) will take you to a local strip club for an evening in VIP room with her and a stripper of your choice.

{heavy sigh}

Can I sell her to my friends and pocket the cash instead?

Ha!

Let’s get a little business done before the show! Send me 150 joins before April 1st and I will personal give you a Laptop at the show!

Doesn’t sound like something you want, send me 150 joins and I will personally take you to Christie's Cabaret- you can pick the stripper of your choice, then you- me and the stripper will head to VIP for a night you will never forget!

Note: Must have an account under my name to qualify.

Not going to the Phoenix show- Stay Tuned there will be more promotions to cum.

I don't know what bothers me more; the fact that she's whoring herself so heavily to scumbags, or that she so childishly wrote 'cum' instead of come.

Greenguy · 2009-03-17, 01:21 PM

I too love the promos where, if you could actually do that, you'd have no need for whatever they are giving away.

Even if that promo started March 1st, 5 sales a day (to ONE program) = $4500 - I think that person can buy their own stripper.

Who's going to Phoenix? Maybe we can all team up, send traffic to that program & get one lucky board member a lap dance. Wouldn't be hard to tag the links so that the money got sent back to everyone.

Who's in?

Yeah I saw that as well Toby and I have to think how low can it go really. Not only does that seem that the program is desperate but the rep as well.
