    Dont get fooled by their high 7 day EPC I'm seeing nearly a 100% refund rate, I just wished I dropped them sooner.

    Whats a refund rate? Do they take away your money that you earned? Jamster is getting very negative publicity by users as well.

    What are people complaining about?

    Where is a good source for SMS news?

    I don't know anything about the Jamster program specifically, but if the program is reversing all the sales then affiliates would not be making money and it would show in their EPC. At least I don't think you can have a high EPC and also high reversals. The reversals should show up in the EPC as far as I know. But I have not managed a CJ program for a long time so maybe I'm wrong?

    Jamster just got sued not 2 long ago for unethical claims in their commercials selling 'free ringtones' where infact they werent free and it was a promotion for only 1. I dont remember the exact story but google sure will help when you type "Jamster Sued"

    I'm confused, I use Jamster as one of my programs from CJ. If I understand, a person signs up for free, and you get a referral fee. For them to reverse it, wouldn't be because a user error. Did you 'encourage' people to sign up?

    No. The way the Jamster program works, you get compensated for the lead when they sign up for a free ringtone. If that doesnt eventuate to a sale within 15 days (or whatever period it really is) you get discreddited for it. It actually states in CJ that their can be upto a 70% return rate... I guess that explains the VERY inflated 7 day EPC and dismal 3 month EPC.

    Thats crazy, why would you join a program like that, theres no acountability, no money managment.....on both sides.
    It's obvious that the take up rate would be very very small, those people are only after freebies and 99% would be kids with no money. :eek:

    hmm after reading this i went through my cj.com account. I have ZERO chargebacks in the last 60 days. I have only been doing it for 60 days.

    I am getting 5$ per SALE. I am not doing any leads....

    am I headed to be really pissed off or am I in a different jamster program?

    I just went to CJ to see the terms of the program I'm in, I have the one for $5/sale too. I guess it's a different program, or recently changed.

    Am I missing something here?... Why would you guys, especially Shoemoney, be messing with Jamster @ $5-9 a sale when you get almost 3x that at Azoogle?...

    For the current one in CJ, do you get the $8 lead generation even when the user take the totally free single ringtone using the field at the bottom of the landing page?
