Well, maybe they are running a business and have to deal with customers and therefore try to make a professional impression. Your behavior here makes me think about your professionalism sometimes. You might be successful, but arrogance comes before the fall ..... Christoph
This isnt a newspaper article or dictionary. Obviously the statements posted here are opinions of the person writing them, and take it all with a grain of salt. No need for everyone that doesnt agree with someones opinion to wave around their e-penis, especially since most of yours is 3 inches long. No body is "required" to give detailed proof on why they came to these assumptions, they just look like an idiot if they dont. Not even if the person in question is "well respected" or anything else. No need to trash talk how professional someone acts in a forum, which ironically is about peoples opinions on azoogle. Funny part is all 3 people in this thread are doing the SAME thing. Promoting what makes them money while down talking the opponent. Funnier yet, the only person that brings ANY facts to the table about their position is the ORIGINAL poster. Something about his affiliate paying better then azoogle, and quoting liek 13 bux a sign up or something. In conclusion your all asshats. Stop slanding each other, make your opinions short and informative instead of long and ridiuclous. Im sure all 3 of you have intelligent things to say about this matter, so how about making this thread actually useful. Im currently considering making some ring tone sites. How about each of you post some ACTUAL CURRENT offers from each of the places and lets compare?
I'm not sure it's slander, I think it's all the points of view of these people and sharing those thoughts IS what these forums are about. It's good to hear the problems people have with networks and it's good to hear if and how those networks respond. But that's just my opinion
From my experience, MaxBounty and Azoogle are fairly honest affiliate companies. I have been with Azoogle for about a year, and at one time was a fairly large affiliate with them. They have paid me on time every month for about a year... until this 2.0 system came out. This month I didn't recieve payment. It is supposed to be on its way, but nothing yet. There seems to be some serious issues with their tracking and now their payments. Azoogle is very big and is growing steadily, but that doesn't excuse them from common sense errors. They implemented a system that wasn't properly tested and have lost affiliates because of it. I will continue to use them sporadically and see if things improve, but have and will try out some other CPA companies until these issues are handeled. One of the other companies I tried for a couple days was MaxBounty and was fairly impressed with their tracking and conversion rate. Their reports show A LOT more impressions then I show from my logs. Therefore the EPC in the report is a lot less then the actual. No big deal though, as long as they track the actual leads. I recieved payment this month from them with a letter from JP. I don't see a CPA company intentially not paying their affiliates since they make their money when the affiliate makes money. The higher payout at MaxBounty can be gotten at Azoogle if you have a fair amount of volume. Either way, if Azoogle continues with the problems they are current having, they will lose affiliates to other networks, including MaxBounty.
Dang Shoe's arrogance. Every company has problems.....so your 1 experience with someone who didn't get paid from MAXbounty is no reason to bash them. GET SOME FACTS.
You know, I think this is all probably just one big misunderstanding. I don't really know Jeremy, like I said we've never done business together, but I'm hearing that he's a very proud man, and strong on quick opinions. My guess is he might have been upset that so many people have made pro MaxBounty.com comments lately... got a little carried away in his attempt to deflate people's interest in us since he likes other networks better... and now feels he can't back down from a statement he shouldn't have made. Anyone that knows us, know that we pay and are big on treating people right. It's actually one of the most prevalent comments made about MaxBounty.com. I don't know who his friend is, but I can only suspect they were caught breaking the rules somehow and were booted. Could be a mistake I suppose, I'm still waiting for his email with the info on who they are so I can look into it. If we were in the wrong, by all means we'll fix it.
Yeah I know, so I've read. I tried to post as well this morning, figured it's only fair and all, but I suspect it got moderated out. I've received email from a few people saying they're trying to post pro-MB comments there... but mysteriously none are showing up.
Considering some of the people Shoe has flamed in the past, I suspect JP will be on Shoe's radio show in the next few months.
Back on topic... Azoogle seems to be having terrible trouble just creating my account. If they can't manage to do that properly, I don't know why I should trust them to accurately record sales.
JP, You said "Who your friend is, what campaigns they were running, how they generated traffic to the campaigns, whether they were booted for breaking terms, etc, etc. Spammers, phishers and cheaters don't get paid, but I think we can fairly say we have no problem with the rest." And Shoemoney has said his friend claims they were sending traffic via PPC. I think it would be completely fair if you allow him to disclose the information without any possible legal action. Clearly something happened with his friend, if it's simply a misunderstanding and you see that the PPC was real, you can simply correct the error, pay up and that will be that. You sound like a reasonable guy and so far I'm getting a good impression with what you say, either way, Max Bounty will come out on top by not only being honest and up front by showing a willingness to resolve any issues. Asking Shoemoney to send the details via email is really a way to cover your arse incase there was an injustice by Max Bounty. If you are willing to resolve the issue, I think you would be better served giving permission. Show who is the bigger man, etc etc.
shoemoney may talk a lot of shit but after this thread I'm unlikely to pursue high volumes with maxbounty
Dude, how you want to know if they pay if you don't try it lol. You're a shit talker then too I know people that get payed regular and not only $3.50. If i look at shoemoneys blogpost, i see this is a one way post. Only his oppinnion and not the 100% truth. Since no one beside HIM has hijacked this thread at the beginning and wrote excessive about MB. Than afterwards he writes something like "an rep" from MB hijacked the thread and i was pissed". Yeah...
wtf, shoe says then turns around and bashes maxbounty with nothing to back it up. deleting shoe blog and wm radio bookmarks now...
What funny is since you said this, and ONLY since you said this, he;s now letting some posts good MaxBounty comments in on his site. pretty transparent. nothing from suave though. All this bashing is SO MUCH FUN! impossible to keep thread on topic. Really Mr Money, you're wrong in you opinion of maxbounty. just because you work at azoogle doesnt give you rights for bashing other networks. i googled maxbounty and there is no complaints. just YOU, and it not even yours! no complaint here or sitepoint or abestweb or anywhere. ive been paid and apparently so has everyone else. i think your brain is on vacation and ego is working overtime on this one. you should reneg your post.
The 1st Amendment is mainly focused on preventing government censorship - i.e. what China does right now. If someone is bashing (in print media) another business with no proof or basis, it is called libel.
Well I didn't say it was illegal for one...and there is a difference between making a stupid comment and actively bashing a company, especially when you are in a reputable position. Saying "ibm sucks" is stating your opinion. Specifically saying something like shoe did is libel, if it is not true. For it to be true, there has to be evidence to support it. Chances are high nobody really cares what you say or think, so what you said is pretty much true as far as you are concerned.
