Certain big site seems to be cheating?

[pos777]

A certain web cam site I affiliate with is lowering the signups I get now that I’ve changed to Per-Sign-Up. I was getting 5 to 8 sign ups a week on the % program, but this dramatically dropped to 2-3 per week when I changed the code to Per-Sign-Up. (I did this to get some ready cash to pay a hosting bill.) The traffic level has remained constant, nothing has changed apart from the program. The same thing happened last month so I changed it straight back to %.

Has anyone noticed this? What can I do? Do I approach them? I’m still quite a newbie…

This has happened twice? Change to a new sponsor.

If you can afford to take the little hit, here is what to do.

1. Take screenshots and document it all.
2. Do one week at %, the next at PPS.
3. Repeat five iterations (weeks).
4. Post everything you have screenshots and all on every webmaster forum you can and name names. Be "matter of fact" about it without saying that they scammed you. Make it a question like "Why does SPONSOR convert better at revshare than PPS? (screenshots inside)".

Forgot to mention: Some sponsors might make cookie life vary depending on whether you use revshare or PPS. We've seen one admit this right here at GG&J lately. This is one possible reason for the descrepency.

Most likely the cookie lifetime, it's a bit of a shitty practice and it's usually better to avoid sponsors that have different cookie life based on PPS or revshare. In my humble opinion anyway :)

Anyone made a sale with AWE recently? My ratio is 0:4000 and 0:3500 !

...4. Post everything you have screenshots and all on every webmaster forum you can and name names. Be "matter of fact" about it without saying that they scammed you. Make it a question like "Why does SPONSOR convert better at revshare than PPS? (screenshots inside)"...Change that to 4b & make 4a a step where you contact the sponsor & ask their opinion.

Maybe that will stop a couple of 1st post bashings :D

Good idea, but only after one has already gathered the screenshots. :)

People crying shenanigans when none exist do also do a disservice to others because it is like the boy who cried wolf....
