Hey Guys,
Just saw this thread and I thought that I would come and shed some light on what’s
been going without opening the proverbial can of worms as Dom put it. We did
write up an official notice about our withdrawal, but the forum was closed the day
I wanted to make the post.
Since the entire CAP issue was blown out of the water, we decide to ride out our
existing membership with the current CAP body. Our justification behind the decision
wasn’t only over the fees but because of our unease with dealing with CAP in it’s
current structure brought on by what had transpired over the past 3 months.
It is truly such a pity that things had come to this, we definitely always found an
enormous amount of value found here by the way of affiliate’s questions, feedback
and albeit at times some of the harshest criticism I’ve ever received but it sure
kept me on my toes and pushed us to improve our program at every turn.
One of the example would be the Inactive Banner Report that we’ve recently begun
providing affiliate more in depth reports about the hits and clicks being received
from their sites, Dom gave us feedback and wanted to know the referring pages
to minimise the amount of guess work for affiliates that have 500+ pages.
We have now included this in the report for all affiliate to benefit from, so there’s
always value for us in dealing with you all, but this is not the right place for us at
this point in time.
We are most definitely prepared to deal with CAP again, once we feel that they are
working impartially and in both affiliates and operators interests, so for the time
being we may be down but we’re definitely not out.
