Funny to watch all the bottom feeders pop up....

WEG has double in opt in mailers, a legitimate business.... when you have 7-8 million members in a mailer, you are bound to get a handful of complaints.

What is 2-3 complaints per 8 million e-mails? Statisticly 0.

Those who think Spamcop is a good thing - you are naive. Spamcop is a BUSINESS.... they have upsells, they are in business to make money. They are NOT in business to end spam.
Trust me.... There will be a lot more coming out about this.

Since there are few threads running here I?d like to address some comments that have been made on this board.



- WEGCash does not spam, WEGCash for those of you who have been living under a rock for the past 5 years has been running the Join4Free email program. This is a double opt-in email program, not some spam operation.

- As to any suggestion that WEGCash webmasters need to worry about their checks bouncing, this is complete nonsense. WEGCash has been paying webmasters on time every time since (1999) and will continue to do so. As has been mentioned by Tonda already, we intend to compensate webmasters for downtime that was caused by issues completely outside of our control.

- With regard to the smart comments that we willingly and knowingly accept spam traffic, this is absolutely not true. WEGCash only accepts opt-in email traffic, if an affiliate is found to be in violation of our policy their account is terminated. It is as simple as that.



Now for those of you who are living in some dream world and operating under that assumption that there is a single program out there that has not had to terminate an account for spam, keep on living the fantasy. This can and does happen to affiliate programs of all sizes and it is an unfortunate reality of the industry we operate in.

Zimm, you guys are handling this situation with professionalism and class. It's too bad assholes like godaddy think they can get away with stuff like this.

I hope you guys get the matter resolved quickly and own go daddy by the end of next week. ;)

Mike,

Well said!

Weg is a first class operation and has been so for many years.

Peace

I'm not too sure who to believe, all I know is what happened with me regarding weg. I was using chat bot traffic around a year ago to promote them when I supposedly had a "whitelisted" account. The person who "got" me the whitelisted account was a spammer who was pushing tons of signups and he said I wouldn't be termed. I pushed a bunch of signups until the check was supposed to come and got canned at the last minute. When I asked the guy he said the weg rep said it was because I was using a free host. He kept spamming and as far as I know his account is still active.

The only other experience I had with weg was a few weeks ago when I unloaded some very niche targetted PPC hits to J4F v2 and did absolutely horrible, only made back a fraction of the costs. As far as that goes I just blame shit traffic though. I might try using it again with different traffic.

Register.com just sent me an email stating if I didn't update my contact info they could cancel my domain that I've had for 3 years! I don't like Register.com
