Kinky Dollars payment?
 

Are there more people waiting for kinky dollars payment for previous month? What's your ratio trend with them?

I've heard from a few people they are waiting on their payments yet again.

payments do seem to be late in the past few months, ratios are too sad to discuss right now... hopefully that will get better :thumbsup

bump for kinky $$$

yeah, the payment hasn't arrived yet.

I doubt ratios will ever get better

some of the best content out there but like everyone else once you add trailers you destroy ratios

late here too

late payment again, bad ratios again, again ...

Ratios went to complete shit this month so far. Last month was decent, but they haven't paid yet. I think they usually pay by the 10th and that was a Saturday this month. They should pay today unless there's some type of issue like last month.

pl0p :disgust

Oh now it's okay to make a thread about kink being late?

Where are all of the shit talkers saying "Have some respect" and blah blah blah all the other hundreds of hate comments I got for making the thread last month when they were late.

ppl are funny

bump for my, yet again, late payment from kink

This has been happening every month for a while now. They seem to be doing all that they can to delay payments but in the end they always have sent it out even if we don't actually receive it until the month is 2/3rds of the way over. :error

They'll probably cite president's day (today, Monday -- no USPS mail) as the reason for the delay.

so i thought it was just me but has everyone's payment starting to come later and later? they used to pay promptly within the first 5 days of the month but it went to like 7th then 8th before the first late payment...is that the same with everyone?

i asked last week if the payments were going to be late again and i was told that the late payment was a one time thing and that they would be sent on time this month ... :(

It's been happening with the later payments for about the last six months. Apparently for whatever reason the days of having the check mailed closer to the 3rd - 5th seem over. However, they have ALWAYS paid. Just a week later than in the past. :2 cents:

Their affiliate FAQ currently states that they will send payment "within the first 10 business days of each month", by which measure they are not late until Friday. However, I'm pretty sure (cannot document) that it used to say "within the first 10 days of each month" and was silently changed at some point. (Last month, for me, is the first month they were "late" under the old wording, and they were not technically late under their current terms as written.)

In practice, until recently they usually paid during the first five days of the month, except in the month of January when they were always middle-of-the-month slow (presumably for accounting or holiday reasons). Here's the payment dates for me since the move to NATS two years ago:

As for ratios, at one point this month ratios had deteriorated to something in the neighborhood of 1/4500. They've since "improved" to 1:2757. Last month was roughtly 1:2400, and historically, I was used to conversions at about a 1:1200 ratio with my traffic.

I've always enjoyed doing business with Kink.com, they have a great crew and a history of honest dealing with talent, staff, and affiliates. But as much business as I do with them, I necessarily find myself unsettled by the combination of declining ratios and slower payment.

I never had issues with them... payments might delay... but they always come...

my ratios arent as bad, sitting at around 1:500 now on pure SEO traffic

don't like the whole unannounced payment change thing :( i dont mind being paid whenever like if they came to me and said hey we are starting to delay payments a month i wouldnt mind, after all they have good content and great rebills but i get worried when its like 'we're paying you soon' then soon becomes later...then now a change in their FAQ...no news in the news section...its the internetz and you always gotta be on guard!

I just received the payment for September.

How about you, guys?

i think they pay net 365 now.

Must not be via check?

My payment just hit my Epassporte also.

I gotta be as clear as I can about this -- I'm going by memory only, and I could easily be wrong. But that's what I remember.

just got mine too, will expect it a little later now but always a good thing when you get money, regardless of when :1orglaugh

just got someone else's . thanks whoever!

seriously now, i've had to kick a few sponsors lately and the payment appears all of a sudden. fucking cesspool economy.

Glad you got paid :) I got mine as well, thanks kink.

I got mine at 5pm today, patience is key..

got mine today, even on a holiday. thanks kd. :)

Mine was there yesterday also, everything is fine.

They changed the payment dates, so every month payments are late from now on ;-)
