FreeEzineBucks sending 4 mailings per day

A customer of mine is complaining about receiving 4 mails from FreeEzineBucks per DAY after having subscribed.

I understand: It's their business to "spam" ... that's why they are paying us $1 per free subscription.

But I am not sure ...<UL>
<LI>... if less wouldn't be more, actually (I mean: for FEB too)
<LI>... if it's morally O.K. to refer our customers to such a "spam" nightmare?
</UL>What's your oppinion?

- Jenny (aka Otto) -


P.S.: I will probably stick with this program ... it's simply convertig too well.

I think they HAVE to send out 4 mailings to make some profit...their webmaster payout probably went up 500% within a months time,kinda fast to turn profit when they are mailing and don't hook a person until the 9 or 10th mail out...

Even if they are sending 4 mailings a day, why is it a problem ?

I figure I lost any rights to what happens to the traffic after I sent them to the tour.

And if the surfer gets pissed off and cancels, so what ? no deductions for me

The time he spent writing you to complain is probably longer than it would have taken to hit the delete key 4 times a day for a year.

An opt in list doesn't do you any good if everyone on it opts out in the first few days, so I doubt they're sending 4 emails to every subscriber daily.
Your guy probably used his email to sign up for 4 different sites, they have a shitload of categories and he probably thought he'd get more free shit that way.

There`s no real free porn... if you join a site almost all links go to a sponsor & popup nightmare.

Quit bitching about opt-in mail.

And quit calling it spam.

Look at what Brad wrote right above me.....when he opted out, they quit sending.

Thats all you need to worry about.

GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK
They sign up for a free porn site and complain because they get too many emails.

This whole thing about "To spam or not To Spam" makes me MAD AS HELL.

Do you see the same asshole who call their Congressman when they get spam email do something when they get junk mail in their "Real" mailbox? I DON'T THINK SO.

And when you sign up for free porn you deserve to get 4 emails per day, and if you're not happy then you should STOP MASTURBATING...

Good plan, but I have a feeling this program is going down in a few months.
We are all making bank but in 3-4 months I'm sure the vast majority of surfers have all seen to Ezine ads a million times.

I think signup ratios will always remain pretty good, but I bet CTR will drop.
I hope not, but I don't see how a program being run on every second website can stay fresh forever.
I'm guilty of using it too much, but anyone around for awhile can tell you of past programs that were hot & everyone just drove it into the ground after a few months.

With that being said, check my sig:

Ohhh.. The poor surfer.. They get 4 e-mails a day.

You are right guys, the surfer deserve clean galleries, with 30 hardcore images for free (With only one text link as advertising).

The surfer can also access thousands of free different pictures on a TGP. Don't let them pay. Fuck. We are here to give them free stuff.

We are in the entertainment business here. Paysites are for losers. Who cares if we are losing millions of dollars because we give them free porn. I don't give a fuck about it. I get 100k of traffic to my galleries. I rule dude. I'm more cool than the Dell dude because of this.

4 e-mails a day? FUCK? What were they thinking? We should respect the surfers. Let them have everything for free. There, I'll even leave my home address in my galleries so they can surf for free, I will also give free beers and a free kleenex box. Don't let them use their credit card, it's a free business GOD DAMN IT.


It reminds me of something.. This is a true story btw. It happened a couple of years ago. I arrived at a blackjack table at the Montreal Casino, one guy there was very happy. I asked him if it was a very good day for him.

He replied : "Oh yeah! I had 10 blackjacks today".

- "Great! How much money did you win today?"

- "Well, I lost 300$ but I got 10 blackjacks. Woohoo!!".

The surfer can EASILY and QUICKLY unsubscribe (the process takes two seconds)... this way everyone makes money, the webmaster makes a $1 with no deductions and febucks can profit too....

what's wrong with that??? Isn't that the point???

They will survive the 4 e-mails a day...... it gives them some free porn.
They can unsubscribe if they don't like it.
But what I don't like about it is the dozen popups they have on their sites.
A few popups ok but they seem to keep comming and comming.

I would start worrying the day that your checks bounce. I know that Hawg has a good program and they are smart enough to make sure they have the backing they need to pay webmasters for their signups. They probably aren't sending out 4 per day anyways.

A long time ago, we used to sell portions of our mailers from newest to oldest so some of the new members would get more mailers than the members who had been with us for some time. It's very important to make sure that whatever is sent out converts so this is probably what they are doing. Just testing on newer members for ratios to see if the other programs are worthy of a permanent spot. I could be wrong. I can't speak for them.

The surfer is a lucky bastard anyways. As long as they are getting what they are promised who cares? Besides if they even realized that only the best programs out there are going to be included in their "spam" they wouldn't be unsubscribing. I wish more webmasters would include this point in their sales speels.
