Dating gold affiliate program is a scam ! I'm promoting their site since december and have finally reached their minimum payout on this month ( feb) ; i have sent a lot of leads to them and have reach $350 ; when i tried to log in, i received an error message ; when i contacted jde; he finally response me after 3 days to let me know, my account appears to be fraudulent and they terminated it ; i asked them, what make them say that or if they can proove or try to reach my leads ( by phone) ; they never reply - so watch yourself with them ! Do not promote their sites ; scammers scammers scammers ; or proove the opposite !
Thats total BS! I've been promoting them since I started online YEARS ago and I've always been paid on time. In fact, they were one of the first 3 affiliate programs I ever joined online. Stop trying to badmouth a good network! Your leads were probably fraudulent or your traffic was bad. Either way, they are DEFINATELY not a scam at all!
Can I prove I got paid? Yes, of course. I even have all my check stubs from the past 2 years that I kept for tax purposes. Do I NEED to prove it? No, I dont. Maybe if I was selling an ebook, but I'm not, so I dont. There are PLENTY of webmasters on the adult forums who have also been paid by Datinggold as well. Have a look around gfy, ynot, netpond and the like and you'll see lots of members who promote their sites AND have been paid. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but that could be due to a number of factors, including your own activity. It doesn't automatically mean a reputable adult network is suddenly a scam.
ok ; but, I sent them email to ask what make them say it's fraudulent, they never get back to me . I request to review my account again . And if you think my activities have something to see with that, good ! because, that gonna make me confirm for real , you are not selling ebook but encourage some abusive networks... Perhaps, you are one of these super affiliate, right ?
I forgot : you did specify that a lot of "super affiliate" ,( that they maybe keep and pay only ), are paid , I won't say it's not true, and I'm so happy to give me some reference too, but you forget to check also, on this forum, that I'm not the only one complaining about what they did to me ; ( I won't write any pseudo here, for privacy and respect for them ) ( cause they are not my friends probably ) , but I can provide you the link or where to browse it ( here in this forum ) . p.s.: for the fact that u just tell me u got paid and don't or can't proove it, I just trust you ! Lol ( you don't need to prove it; it's good for you man ( lmao) )
How many sales did your 'leads' provide? DatingGold is as reputable as they come....my guess is your leads didn't convert. They will give you the option to promote PPS or REV if your Frees don't convert. Contact them again and ask to speak to AK - he can possibly work something out for you if your site/traffic was legit.
Thank you so much and I agree that I was thinking about their reputation even before I joined their network on the Xbiz site and I have update emails ; I sent the message to J and I sent a cc to AK too, until now I have no answer ; I will try to send one over again ; Thank you ! Blessings, JLP
I was also promoting a website for free trial and I had the upgrade leads signed up on the stats table ; and you know they have a great stat converter... I just sent a message to AK himself ; Let's wait for the response...
Lol...no, I'm nowhere near a "super affiliate". I'm just a regular guy who has been paid by them without any problems. They are NOT my biggest sponsor and I make far more with other networks, but I'm just letting you know that they DO pay. Good luck to you! I hope you get everything sorted out.
hum hum ! lol So, let's say I have to wait for the same thing from my other affiliates network, because, my activities might make them close my accounts with them for about 3 years now ?!...
It depends on the terms of the company, which you should always read carefully before joining. Dating sites like datinggold and AFF have a ratio that must be maintained, which is precisely why they're NOT my biggest programs that I use, as I personally HATE ratios. Having said that, they are entitled to make whatever terms they like, but I prefer to promote things straight up, without worrying about figures. That's why I do well with Cpalead, because I dont have conversion ratios to slow me down.
All my leads converted and for some of their program, they bought membership ; the problem just occur while I was trying them out from end of December... I'm working with a couple or reputable CPA networks too and have never had problem with them and I'm working also with a dating site using ratio, and have not encumbered any prob ; so it's why I was asking myself if I joined a scam network... Oh, I forgot : One of my leads, send me a msg, ( because of the can-spam policy, they have to contact me ), about a charge they occur to his account, maybe that happened because of his activities...
We've been working with DatingGold for over 5 months and they have always paid us on time without any problems. Have they responded back to you yet?
Jego, I was forwarded this thread by Chad from PeerFly, an outstanding network with many, many publishers that push us. We've been in business for almost 7 years now, we wouldn't be in this biz if we weren't a legit, honest company. With that said, it's always the people that attempt to fraud us that speak the loudest when they don't get paid. Would you mind posting a life-time screenshot of your stats for everyone? I would encourage you to do so. To say that we didn't continue to reply to you is a bit of wishful thinking. If I had to sit around and argue with people clearly trying to fraud us all day, I wouldn't get any work done, let alone coming in to their threads on various message boards to "clean" things up. We treat affiliates very well, at least the ones that are fair with us. I think our they deserve our attention a little more than the frauds. I would encourage anyone to contact me directly in the future: jay[at]datinggold[dot][com] as I mentioned before, I do not check this message board. Thank you to Chad for informing me of this thread.
How will I be able to post the snapshot ? I cannot access the account ; Yes, you can say so but, when I asked what was going on to my account, what was your answer ?
