I’m starting to think that there might be some serious tracking bugs at MoneyMechanic and VegasPartner programs (both use same affiliate software).
The reasons that make believes it are as follows:
1. Low results for those 2 programs for the last couple of months. Not just me, I hear many webmasters complaining.
2. The strange stats correction email from Vegas Partner.
3. The strange error at Mechanic where they mixed the guest player income with the real players income.
4. Stats are not being updated daily.I think those 2 programs got to run a serious test on their tracking systems.
I agree the stats are buggy for sure. And I have seen a sizable drop in performance at Vegas Partners over the last few months also.
Money Mechanic has been lackluster from the start.
2. The strange stats correction email from Vegas Partner.
hmm… did I get this email? I can’t remember.. how long ago?
VP has been up for me recently… poor in the past…
no-experience with MM and probably never will
bb Hi,
yes, I’m dropping them both unless things change quickly. Even an email telling me they are having problems would be a start.
I agree PS with what you say; but whether its on purpose or by accident; its still screwing me/us.
and funny how these “quirky” stats managed to drop not just my income; but others as well; near or on the last day of the month.
That lends to thinking more sinister reasons are behind this.
I don’t know, at this point I’m pretty burned and it will take some doing to change things.
What sucks is I’ve got them strung all over my sites because VP started out okay, although I’ve already almost gotten rid of all the MM links.
If these places aren’t diligent enough to be checking and rechecking every time they hear their stats don’t seem right, then – wait! (hell, who are we kidding? I’ve never once been on their end of the teeter-totter but I damn sure know I could look at any producing webmaster’s stats and when I don’t see them changing all the time; I’d know something was wrong).
so its either that this is a problem with only a few of our stats tracking (which why some but not others?)
or its all their stats across the board and they’re too damn lazy, stupid, or more likely, uncaring; to bother to find out what is wrong.
or else their cheating us blatantly.
I’m sorry if I am coming off too harsh. But I’m not afraid of who sees me say this; because if a sponsor is cheating me; I don’t want anything to do with the low-rent scum and that applies to any cheater that’s out there.
here’s part of a letter I sent to MM yesterday:
.
My commission dropped a $1000 the last of the month. you never have made me much but this is the slap in the face that is getting your links off my sites.
Real people with real families depend on this income they have RIGHTLY earned. You just took from me the money that would have paid for the care of a family with 4 kids; 2 of which are under the age of ten.
I don’t know how you sleep at night
they’ll be sorry in the end. It won’t take long for word to spread. Ask fallen star how well they are doing these days now that their shavin’ ways have run off almost all the producing webmasters.
Oh, btw, if they want to know where to start looking for the problem, I would say its not with showing clicks or conversions; but rather that the money made off these signups is far below the average; lending one to think that only a partial amount of what is actually earned; is being reported thru their stats.
Thanks guys, you saved me time and money
… I never promoted Money Mecanic … and now I never will …
I will make sure I tell every active webmaster I know:rolleyes:
Damn!
I just plastered MM all over my site, too…..
