Our last post about Medium Pimpin told how this program didn't update the site for over a year. The other day I received this email from MediumPimpin - SHAME on You, Medium Pimpin. Telling webasters to contact you regarding moving the money from an upgrade from one version to another - SHAME ON YOU. Sounds like you are trying to milk the cow.
Dear affiliate,
As you may or may not know already Medium Pimpin moved to NATS4 early this month on April 2nd.
We had been preparing our move to NATS4 for some time but it became quite hasty after we noticed that our old backend had stopped reporting new joins from one of our processors.
At this point we're performing well on NATS4 and most initial issues have been worked out.
There is however two things we want to take the time to update you on.
1, As previously mentioned our old backend stopped reporting new joins from one of our processors. These joins dating March 4th to April 1st will be imported in to NATS within a couple of days and paid out in full at the next payout date.
2, Some of you have reported having standing balance in our old backend. We would like to request that all of you having previous sales that has not been paid out for to email natkejs@mediumpimpin.com with your account info and they shall be added in to your NATS account.
That's it, any questions or concerns regarding our move to NATS4 then please contact support@mediumpimpin.com
Thank you,
Medium Pimpin

Orgy Cash
Just received this email from Orgy Cash - Just read the first change 1) Chargeback - We is not going to use a partner that is making the affiliate pay for chargeback. STAY AWAY.
Read email below
Attention Orgy Cash Members!
We have been hard at work in 2009 trying to make Orgy Cash the best
affiliate program it can be, and that means preparing more sites for
promotion and revamping our back end to ensure smoother functioning for
you, the webmasters. Our aim is create an affiliate program that's as
user-friendly as possible and one that is not plagued by fraudulent
webmasters trying to take advantage of the system. For these reasons, we
have decided to make some minor adjustments to our payment policies.
1) In an attempt to combat any fraudulent activity we will now be charging
the webmasters for any chargeback fines (24.95 Euros) that may be caused by
stolen credit cards or other such reasons. This will not effect 99% of
you, only those abusing the system.
2) We will be deducting a 5% credit card fee from all signups from now on.
We will continue to cover the rest of the credit card fees that our company
incurs.
3) There will now be a charge of US$2.00 for all epassporte transactions.
We hope you can understand and appreciate the need to make such changes at
this time in order to keep our affiliate program the best it can be. We
look forward to growing with all of you in 2009 and keeping Orgycash at the
forefront of affiliate programs!

EuroRevenue
STAW AWAY
This is the worst kind of fraud - Now when all the good galleries have been indexed by search engines Euro Revenue simply keeps the traffic and money. We have had several reports for this company and we seriously say STAY AWAY. Some gets their account cancelled when they make money so ER can keep the profits and they are know for using Spam.
Here is the email send from EuroRevenue 16th March 2009:
Attention Gallery Builder Users!
If you are currently marketing EuroRevenue’s Hosted Galleries, and have used Gallery Builder’s Custom Gallery or Auto Builder tool to create them, you must create new galleries immediately!
Galleries created prior to February 24th with either of these tools will stop tracking properly on April 1st, and you will not receive proper credit for joins.
Again, this ONLY applies to galleries created with the Custom Gallery or Auto Builder tool. If you create galleries manually or take advantage of Gallery Builder’s Express Builder tool, no changes are necessary.
My apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you for your continued support!

Grooby Bucks
I would like to share this interesting email from Steven @ Grooby Bucks
These are strange times we're living in. With the economic crisis and dwindling profits due to piracy, some companies and affiliates are resorting to dubious means of increasing their bottom line, often at the expense of alienating customers and destroying consumer confidence in our industry.
Pre-checked cross-sales are bad for the industry in general and may lead to the demise of the website business model as we know it. These companies rely on the customer not fully reading the whole page (how many of us can say we do this) and after agreeing to join a site for $34.99 may find themselves getting credit card bills in excess of $100, billed over multiple processors to make it more complicated for them to cancel or get a refund. Often the only way for them to resolve this is to cancel their credit card (which may also cancel rebills you are getting from legitimate sites). Mastercard has already outlawed this practise and if Visa follows, it's not a great leap of faith to see them limiting automatic rebills (or doing away with them altogether) or taking other punitive action against the industry.
If you are working and promoting websites that are involved in this deceitful practise then I'd ask you to have a long think about the future of the industry and where it may lead. There are many companies offering fantastic affiliate programs who work fairly with their customers and concentrate on getting that customer to rebill, rather than a flashy front door, $1 joins and then stealing $100's from them. Groobybucks is the longest running company in transsexual websites and we set the standard for others to attain. I'm saddened to see some other programs have to resort to shady practises when their were alternatives. I'd question the integrity that these companies have towards their affiliates, if they show such distaste for their customers.
I appreciate we're all trying to make money and it is getting harder to in these trying times. Groobybucks is dedicated to the transsexual niche and although we've seen a slight slow down in sales, we're confident that we can ride this storm well. We have 4 new sites to launch in the next 6 months and the much anticipated relaunch of flagship, Shemale Yum. We're working harder with other respected companies in this niche, some of which are mentioned below and good partners for you to work with and we've started the Groobybucks Blog to help you make sales with us and teach you more about the transsexual niche.
Our door is always open to your ideas and suggestions. I can't force you to stop working with any company, I'd just ask you to please, be aware of the companies you are working with, their impact on the industry, on the customer and ultimately how they may affect you.

Uncensored Bucks
The Uncensored Bucks is a sister-site for Brothers In Cash and BlockBooster Cash so the same old story. In-house affiliate system = can shave as crazy! But if you like to try your luck the URL is uncensoredbucks.com and BTW good luck :-)
BlockBooster Cash
BlockBooster Cash is a sister-site of Brothers In Cash and use the same in-house system so we can't recommend them.
Brothers In Cash
We have tried Brothers In Cash without any success and really don't think any of our traffic will ever convert. BrothersInCash use their own in-house affiliate system and even write this on the site. Would we recommend Brothers In Cash? No, we have no reason to recommend them. We have tried them and they don't convert and using their own in-house system is a big turn-off.
