CEN Admits Shaving
by D.U.C. (send email to D.U.C.)
Joseph Elkind aka JoeE sent me a copy of an incriminating email by the operator of CEN, Fabian, to owner John Bennett on 2/13/02 about a thread on
www.gofuckyourself about CEN's email program Emailbucks.
Fabian wrote JB: "Will try to read those boards... don't have the time for it ;-(
"We do 'shave' some .. no other way to keep it profitable .. will come up with some new tricks to give more back to the webmasters."
JB replies to Fabian: "Me neither, was actually looking for clickcash info."
Here's the thread under discussion at
www.gofuckyourself.com thread .
Zubr writes on a
www.gofuckyourself.com thread about CEN's Emailbucks program: CEN used to be a very respective company and paid on time every week. But now my rates dropped at least 20 times.. they just don't track. As for the payment, there's no trouble for sending $20 checks on time
CEN operator Fabian writes: I personally manage Emailbucks on a day-to-day base. Database is growing fast and therefor it's getting harder to get 'unique' signups ..on the other hand: you know for sure you will get a check ;-).
If you're having ratio problems my suggestion is to select a 'niche' panel, e.g. the amateurlist is obvious smaller then the celebrity list and thus automatically more unique signups.
If anyone is experiencing any stats problem or the reported '50% of the time they don't count' simply email me and we will check it out.
With close to 30.000 affliates and millions of emails coming in per month it's somewhat hard to monitor each and every account.
JoeE writes 12/2/02: "At least we know that there are quote "millions of emails coming in every month" so it is doing well. However the emails are all crosses with the major companies. And since Fabian is running naughtymail and a few select others the lists become saturated if not profiled correctly. What is emailbucks worth guys?"
