i am not sure if it is the most popular filesharing service but at least i know it is "quite' popular. However, i have carefully read their terms about affiliate i can't understand why they are so popular. They give a very low percentage of premium sale to affiliate and the worst thing is only 1 download is counted per ip per day. Although they have world traffic but it is not unique in the market. I don't really understand why there are so many people uploading things to depositfiles. And I even don't understand how that "Burtonfly" can earn thousands a week by depositfiles. (I doubt there is that guy)
Nope, that's is not the cause. People upload there because it's one of rare hosts where affiliate program still works.
IMHO I chose depositfiles today because their affiliate system works out for me. They pay low for massive file uploaders, but pay fine for periodical file releasing. • 1 IP downloader of any amount of files = 1 count: I can take advantage of this because I upload ongoing TV series on a 1 eposode per week per series basis. • 90 days of inactivity before deletion on files: Longer than others.
Depositfiles warm you if they see many DMCA refused files. This happens when you try to claim your payout(button) & see that nothing happens, after that they close your earning program & wait for an answer from you about: where you upload your files? what is your personnal site for your files? and what kind of files you upload?. You have to answer all of this or you account will be close. here the kind of message you will receive(after you send a ticket) about this prob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Sir/Madam! It's a standart checking your account for compliance the rules of Bonus program.(PAyments are suspended) please send us links to pages where you posted links to your files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually,i have the same question too,cause i've read on russian forums that in recent times they blocked some partner accounts (without any serious reason) and hold their money.
