International traffic sent to dialer purgatory

[Ms Naughty]

The sponsor I emailed, XPays, has not replied. I won't be using them now.

The other problem I see with these kind of redirects is that they induce surfer mistrust which spills over onto other honest sites. The more porn surfers I communicate with, the more I find them angry, resentful, nervous, and fully expecting to be ripped off. I don't think this makes them eager to get out the CC.

So dialler schemes like this may produce short-term higher profits, but I think they make it harder for the industry overall.

For all those people who used the sneaky dialler, how many more are lost because they actually wanted to join the site, and may have stayed on for months?

I know there are plenty of webmasters who like diallers and I'm not saying they shouldn't be used, but just that they should be offered as a choice rather than used as a way to squeeze money out of people (and the parents of the kids who find them easy to use!).

OK... getting off my soapbox now. I guess I just don't like wasting time joining sponsors who do this kind of thing.

It's a pity - In theory, the dialer was a great way of converting international surfers.

In practice, the dialer has died due to the short-sightedness and greed of crooks who devised variants with malicious code resulting in horrendous phone bills for the scammed surfer.

The result? Surfers are simply too frightened to download 3rd party software.

Increasing broadband penetration has rendered the old-style dialer obsolete anyway.

Our solution employs the same underlying billing mechanism as a dialer, but with none of the headaches associated with them.

Surfers worldwide "buy time" at your/our sites using their phone or cell - hold time is fixed - once they enjoy the content, the billing clock is no longer ticking.
