    I suppose you are on ppd and want to add filepost as another mirror for your files. For that purpose filepost is least useful as if you give many mirror links then no sales will come and ultimately filepost might suspend your account.

    You must of uploaded some nasty illegal files that's why you don't want to tell them your account, and why it's been blocked.

    LOL, suspend account for users on PPD? Lol. If they would do that, they would gain bad reputation pretty fast.

    I haven't had any files removed yet... but then again they're non-copyrighted uploads so that's probably why, heheh. Thanks FilePost for a great second week, I did even better than week one. Booooom

    They are not running business for loss so if PPD affiliates are not bringing any sales for long period they will naturally decline payments.

    Serious host will never do that. Why they then make PPD available? They should remove it and they would solve "problem".

    I was trying to load no more than 20/30 files. 1/2 GB maximum.
    But they are all those that don't interest you, a very strange this host.
    For me it is hard to work with people like that.

    Filehosts bring PPD plan with a hope that they bring sales. Also for new affiliates PPD plan is an attraction but if affiliates give plenty of mirror links like 5 or more then affiliates & filehosts know for sure that no sales will come and filehosts are forced to suspend those accounts otherwise they will run in loss.

    Filehosts 90% revenue is from premium sales & rebills alone and they pay PPD affiliates too from this revenue so if affiliates do not bring them sales how can they pay back the affiliates. Also filehosts have other expenses like server costs & many other bills.

    Filehosting like other venture is a business they can only survive if they get enough sales so its each & every affiliate's duty to bring them sales otherwise they cant survive.

    You are only thinking about premium sales made over someone's files, such calculations are not exact then. Promotion of a host through files brings people to sign up to them even through their main site address.

    I agree with paradox about this, PPD should be removed completely if it's only used as a fake invitation for new workers. If they didn't pay people for their downloads this would spread around immediately. I don't even understand why you dkp are blaming the users to 'enjoy themselves' using a PPD scheme -> as if that's something that they want ??? over earning on a PPS scheme. I really don't know how it's supposed to "just be their fault" if people are not interested in buying premium from their files. There are many reasons for that, it isn't just having mirrors or not. (Not that I love people who mirror their files.)

    As it was ALREADY shown to us here, Filepost can always adapt their PPD scale system and keep going on with a new one that suits them and causes them no damage. "Declining payments" while enforcing a PPD scheme isn't positive long term for the host, I don't know how do you even get to such thinking. Obvious cheating and fake earning plans would be directly recognized around.

    Thinking of PPD users as useless affiliates is seriously weird to me. They should be thought as workers who promote the site around. They ARE spending time to do their sharing, so they ARE giving something out for something. And I'm using revshare plan while writing something like this.

    Hope you're not thinking that Filepost is supposed to take actions to "evolve" into Oron, cause that would be a host development going backwards. Being only oriented for PPS affiliates, or only for site owners, would make any host only lose their position to other new coming hosts who wouldn't do that. Filepost should be here to prove that an Oron and like mentality should be seen as a thing of the past, and not something they should be aiming to become as they develop. why would I otherwise even bother switching here?

    EDIT:

    Why are you making all this calculations for them? as if those people don't know what they are doing with their PPD plan.

    You also forgot a big piece of logic in this whole thinking you should really consider: they can also "cover their expenses" and "survive" much better if they LOWER THE PERCENTAGES OF THEIR PPS SYSTEM TOO. That would make them survive much better. Way more money, revenue and survival that way.

    I don't mean those PPD affiliates who post with 2 or 3 mirror links instead I mean the ones who are posting 5 or more links. In such cases filehost's don't get any sales so they naturally decline payments we can see such situations in other file host threads like oron, filefactory etc. In some hosts it clearly says do not mirror your files with other filehosts while in some others like bitshare, uploading etc a rank system is implemented for PPD affiliates so that if they bring more sales they get better PPD rates these all mean indirectly that they will not like pay those PPD affiliates who do not bring enough sales.

    If the filehost is well established and getting overall many sales from other affiliates they will still pay those PPD users who do not bring enough sales as they can compensate it. But if the filehost is not getting enough no of sales they usually investigate those users who do not bring enough no of sales and decline their PPD payments.

    Agree 100%.

    In my case I'm PPD work many hours.
    Just put links only everything, even that the host does not lose with this and can make your sales.
    Now, limit uploaders so that others with my PPD plan that I earn more with this, is very bad.
    Use the Fileserve, Filesonic, FileJungle and Uploadstation and does these things to limit uploads over 24 hours.

    I have files in the queue will be more than 24 hours, to this end the Filepost that only has the plan PPS.

    After I questioned very slow uploads have response, I'm not productive.
    My doubt is. ...
    How can I produce for the Filepost if you do not leave the queue the files? And when I no longer leave serve nothing

    Investigate what? What if he is doing everything by their rules, he still shouldn't receive payment? Perhaps, his files should be erased if they are illegal, but then something like this should be done on everybody's account.

    Counting someone's sales throughout a week or a month, isn't really that precise to determine all that this person did for you. He might be doing way more good than you can calculate with your calculator and you would just throw him away.
    Especially at Filesonic alike sites where they don't give rebills. They would count your sales, rebills not. So you make them 5 times as much money through user rebills and renewals, and then you don't deserve your PPD payment - which is but a small part of they have earned - because they count your sales ?

    At least those people who use 5 mirrors or more can filter out those that stop paying them the way you are talking about, and just stick to those who pay them always and tell others about their personal experiences with hosts. This is how the best hosts probably live to be posted more. They get promoted over others who get ignored for dishonesty. You might be thinking about a hotfile system, but where is hotfile now? Uploading.com isn't better than Filepost because they don't give a fixed PPD plan, who will people rather choose? And such a choosing process might be the point of advantage to become the top leader. Dynamic necessary changes might still be necessary even then.

    Who do you see posted more around: filesonic, fileserve, bitshare, uploadstation, filejungle - or - uploading, hotfile and filefactory
    It's a comparison between fixed PPD and not fixed one which you can see every day everywhere around.

    As we all saw filefat's official thread is now closed as they ran out of business. Also wupload one of the best & trusted file host have stopped their affiliate program recently due to financial problem. The reason which I think is lack of enough sales so they can no longer afford to pay their affiliates.

    If they had introduced a pay per sale plan only then all would have brought sales to the filehost but due to the PPD plan affiliates don't care about sales and simply mirror their links with other filehosts to get as much PPD earnings.

    Filepost have limited uploading capability of some user's according to some criterion like based on sales, copyright laws as filepost don't like to run out of business as recent one's.

    My opinion is if filehosts do care about sales from PPD affiliates too then they should disable PPD plan to those who are not bringing sales instead of imposing upload, storage space & other restrictions.

    Filepost placed restrictions that had nothing to do with sales.
    They promote large file downloads sites with copyrights and we all know that.
    They made the restrictions until stabilization problems.
    But for me to make sales with my PPD need be able to share the download links of filepost.
    If you are a lifetime in queue as I can sell? impossible ...
    Think .....
    The Filepost is doing restrictions as their interests where the links are placed and that no other host does, so I guess very very bad.
    Not find excuse, for some reason who wore the wupload mainly moved to the filejungle.

    I wouldn't normally post screenshots this detailed but I want to put to rest rumors that FilePost is removing accounts, and not paying out its affiliates. There are also rumors that the speeds are slow and people aren't upgrading because of it. Both of those are uniformly untrue. Thanks FilePost, for making the Wupload transition one of the smoothest I could have asked for (yeah, there were some RU hiccups, and I would prefer your support team to have a little bit more personality when dealing with me, but those are superficial issues and the money i've earned speaks for itself).

    Screen Shot 2011-12-05 at 11.41.18 AM.jpg Screen Shot 2011-12-05 at 11.40.52 AM.jpg

    P.S. if you guys want tips on how i've gotten to this point, you're gonna have to sign up to FilePost with my referral link in my signature and prove to me that you can make earnings first. Then you have to keep earning, and the longer you do the more information I'll give out. I'm not interested in this "sign up and take all of my knowledge" thing I think most of us do. As you can see all of this is self-made as I have no active referrers. I don't normally bother trying to make money out of other people, this is just a one time deal. I've got to look out for myself but if people are willing to help me out, i'll help them too. :rolleyes:
