Fucked Up Sponsor

[Greenguy]

The one problem with a big program like that - especially one that has BYOT's - is that they do not "manage" all the promo material.

Some of the "managers" go the extra mile - HFS's & fresh contest & RSS feeds & more than 3 banners. But some just build a tour & forget.

If there's no new content, you can either buy some or move on.

You're basically upset because they were honest & straight forward with you.

Thing is (assuming Useless is being serious), that sponsor is my highest converting one.... guess there's nothing wrong with using worn out content if it sells, eh?

If he is right, that is one of mine too, but I never use any of their content anyways, I use my own, lol. But I sell their portal/download sites anyways, not individual sites, so doesn't matter if I use my own.

Odds are, these are the ones that are not updated on a regular basis with new content.

Pimp Roll is in my top 3 - they have 400+ tours to promote & I've probably tried them all at one time or another. I currently push 150+ sites of theirs. They are a FANTASTIC program & one of the few that I recommend to people verbally.

And I'll say that I've run into this same problem with them. There's a couple of tours that I convert very well on, but when I go to grab some banners, there's none there Oh well, next sponsor.....

If I emailed them & their reply was that they had none & I was welcome to make my own, I'd simply move on.

Too many people are spoiled by sponsors that bend over backwards to get you to promote them. One says "sorry" and there's a thread complaining?

Just Move On......

This business would have eaten some of you ALIVE 10 years ago.

I'm not upset, I just said they were a fucked up sponsor. (which is just my opinion) I also said "I'll keep promoting who I'm promoting now thank you, they have current content"...which means I did move on.

But if Luscious Delight is doing OK with old content, I might give 'em a try

You didn't move on, you started a thread.

Let me ask this: now that you know what the situation is, do you still consider them a "fucked up sponsor" and if so, why?

I started the thread to share an experience I had with a sponsor. Doesn't meat I haven't moved on to other sponsors.

I don't know what you mean by "what the situation is", other than that I can't get current content, but yes, I think the sponsor in question, whick I chose not to name, is fucked up. Why? I don't expect sponsors to kiss my ass but there are several sponsors that provide current content or give access to members' areas to get content. Neither of which was offered by the sponsor in question.
The tone from the sponsor's response was at the least sarcastic, and on the other end a little bit like a smart ass.

TONE?!?!?!?!? So you are the 1st person in the history of the world to accurately detect tone from text? BRAVO

Not every sponsor is going to do everything that YOU want them to do for you.

Why the fuck should they let YOU into their members area?

And, let's remember that, when you're talking about a BYOT type program, there could be 100 tours all leading to the SAME members area. How should they prepare free content for that? The same sets in 100 different locations in the affiliate admin?

99.44% of the "problems" you run into have already been experienced by 99.44% of the webmasters you'll run into.

$50 minimum payouts? CCBill has $25
You mean I have to write my OWN descriptions for these galleries?
I have to copy & paste all these link codes one by one?
They only have 3 banners for that site?
Why would they only count 2nd page clicks
They have 10 different niche tours, but not one that covers the site I'm building
The referring URL area shows NULL for 3 of my 12 signups
I contacted support at 5:00 PM on Friday & it's Sunday and no one has gotten back to me
You mean I can't download their hosted galleries and promote a different sponsor on the edited html?

You want me to go on?

Next time, think of a couple logical scenarios before you assume that the sponsor is sarcastic in their truthful reply.
