RIP Sandcastlecash
« on: October 09, 2011, 09:45:57 AM »
this is a true example of how to killl an extremely nice ptc site   =:))

1. remove ptp and tell members ptp is being adjusted but staying for now
2. add the must click to earn from refs addon
3. remove surftheselinks to add a botlink, tell members its temporary and then leave it

next attack the advertisers........
some advertisers (not me)  believe if they make members visits the same site several times it will get them more refs.
so tell advertisers they cannot advertise a site more than once because this is considered cheating.  =:))

if an advertiser pays for links and the link itself is not again terms then how is it cheating to advertise the same link 2x or even 5 or 10x
who is it cheating?  didn't the advertiser pay for the links?
is the advertiser cheating the site he is advertising?  i don't think so   ;D
unless he uses the ptp he is not getting paid for advertising the site and if he does use the ptp he is only getting paid for the first click on one of the links

i asked the admin how this is cheating but i don't think he knows the answer
his reply just said some other admins told him its cheating so it must be cheating  =:))
this admin should check the sites owned by those other admins because the advertisers will go somewhere else and i am sure those admins won't tell them they are cheating

this site had a lot of active members and a lot of advertisers.
in just over a month it dropped from having between 100 and 150 links a day to just over 50 links a day and it will be even less when running ads expire.
in the same month it dropped from a 28k alexa ranking to 520k alexa

really sad to see it go  :'( :'( :'(

ps this is not a complaint about payouts because sandcastlecash always pays fast  ;D

I do get a laugh out of those emails. What about this one

Quote
I have had to stop PTP altogether.  The last straw was when a member made over $5 in 10 days and had an outrageous number of PTP hits!

I have had to go to my credit card to keep up the payments that I`m making and simply cannot keep doing that.

I`m sorry, but in order to keep the site anywhere close to sustainable, the PTP has to go.

The nerve of that member to send you all the traffic for next to nothing.  :'(
