Today I had a long chat with Elliot and got many of the facts which cannot be made public at this stage for very valid reasons, but what I can say confidently is that we will get our money in the end and that the delay is not due to the actual Owner holding back the funds .
Further to my post - After re reading Insider's comments - I got the feeling he thought that what I meant by saying I was a Dinosaur was that I meant I was a Big Affiliate. I meant I am a Dinosaur in terms of age LOL - As in been in the industry for a long time
I would probably be classed as a "Medium Affiliate" so basically I still have to work and can't retire on the beach with a cocktail in hand ......yet!!
Believe me, you're being far too generous and I don't share your confidence at all. I've heard the same stories several times from Elliott for more than 18 months now and I've been patient and understanding but it hasn't got us paid the significant debt they now owe us.
Whether you believe that "the delay is not due to the actual Owner holding back the funds" is a moot point if they don't have the funds to hold back isn't it?
Even if they did pay on time, there are so many programs that convert better and have better player value. I can't think of any rational reason to keep promoting them.
Reputation takes decades to build but only months of false promises and breach of agreements to destroy.
I completely agree with PSORG, trust no one,no terms but be open to work with everyone as long as the CPA is right and paid on time. For me this lowers risk and opens up the partnership opportunities.As a fellow dinosaur in the industry (my first profitable site in 2003), I'm with TopBoss on giving them a chance. I've not been paid since October last year. Like Chris, his predecessor, Elliott has always shot us straight. I don't think he would still be with the company and hurting his own reputation, if he didn't believe that all will be made right eventually.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've really started leaning strongly towards good CPA program offers. Less worry about programs going belly up, selling out or changing T&C's.
It seems like we have fewer and fewer good partners to work with each year for rev share. Focal Click was always one of the good guys, so I'm going to extend some more grace as long as Elliott keeps answering my emails and calls.
Is everyone still waiting...?
Or has anyone been paid?
Last time I was paid was August 2017.It's March 2019, has anyone received anything yet?
Though to be fair
