It’s easy to break eggs when they are in some one elses basket. I am eager to see what happens when those eggs are yours.
actually I make more at RB (usually) than at CR and have for quite some time. FYI.
Prof I’ve been around quite a long time now too; and with the exception of VP – I usually make money at every program mentioned. Most of this is as you mention, from players I’ve already signed and not from new players. I’ve cut back exposure to most the programs in question here with the exception of RB who I’ve just started to increase exposure with again in the last 6 months or so because they were doing so well for me despite the fact that I had cut back their exposure so much – that I felt they DESERVED the added exposure despite my extreme displeasure with their adding that 20% deal to the terms.
in my eyes, they had endured my showing of my displeasure about that change; and had done it in fine fashion. I fully expected my earnings to drop to nothing. And instead they more than proved (to me) that I could at least trust RB to not be stealing or shaving away my big players because quite frankly they had no incentive left for paying me such amounts as I had already proven both by taking them off/nearly off my sites to the fact that i was very vocal against the change here at cap.
Now once again I face that same situation which is why I’m trying so hard to get RB to be reasonable about all this. I don’t want to have to take them down because despite the occasional “really bad ideas” they come up with about terms – i feel they have proven to me to be a place where I can count on my residual income to be shown and paid; whether or not i am sending traffic. Which is of course, how it should be; because that was the deal I signed up for. However, many other programs IMHO have proven (at least to me) that they cannot be trusted to always show my earnings whether or not I am sending traffic. (edited to add – I wasn’t sure I made myself very clear on this; but like Dom mentioned recently, I too have hopes of retiring someday on what I’ve built up; and that includes what I rightfully should be earning from player bases that I have built up. as I mentioned abov, despite everything that has went on with RB, they proved a lot to me when I stopped sending traffic (and for quite a while, but now I can’t say for sure how long. I think about a year). I mean they really rocked for me – and if anybody thinks they were trying to buy their way back on my sites; it was far more than that and I promise you they’d have given up a long, long time before the time came when i finally started giving them exposure again. This means a ton to me!
As for the other programs, as it has already been mentioned here; they are steadfast in their decision and that forces us to react.
so please don’t think I don’t have a lot at stake here. because sir you are very wrong in that assumption.
ps.
I’d gladly make my stats at RB available to back up what I’m saying, but currently I can’t even find out what I ended up making for july lol.
my stats start at Aug. I don’t know what happened to the rest of the deal, but perhaps its a temp thing.
