why should we boycot some programs?

[Sand]

everyone can run GPT program with different terms and strategy. I wanted to talk about probles caused by wrong terms but noone listen. so i'm giving up. We all can join all programs. And there is rights for everyone to by scamed. Noone agree with my criterias, so, meby I'm wrong. All programs are great. We all are there just for fun and money is secondary. Nomatter will you by paid in paypal/egold/check... you will get money in your program account. Great! :D

I unce posted that I don't like programs with high min payout cause they undersell ads up to 10x cheaper they actualy credit in members program account. I though peoples will agree with me but nop... I'm to honest to support and agree with business plan where most of workes (members) can't by paid (cause there is no money to pay). So, i'm wrong. All programs are great. :D It don't meen thet now I like these programs, it mean only that now I think about all GPT not like business but like game and everyone can run and play game by they own terms. If I don't like terms, I don't play, but now I would not tell othes nothing, if they want they can play! :D

Ok ..... I think your wanting people's opinon about how the sites are run and why ( the reasons) we aren't getting paid by some programs ...their Ads persay....my opinon is the lower paying programs end up biting the dust is because their ads are way too cheap just because u payout quicker doesn't mean u can sell ads cheaper it just means u pay earlier and for the referral bonus why try to pay way to high for them i've seen places try to pay 30% referral duh... in order to earn money a WM has to think of her cost to run site....earn herself.....and pay the people that Helped her earn money....




If this is not what you are talking about I'm soooo gonna hide under me puter:alien:

Hi Sand, As I understand it U think that the programs and in particular, the high minimum payout ones sell the ads so cheap that they can never make money to pay the members. . In your view this is a bad business plan.
U do have a point but let me see why the owners are underselling the ads. I am not a webmaster and do not own any programs. But I have thought about it. I think these programs think that they do not have to pay some members because they will eventually become inactive and thus be removed from the program. Therefore, the WM does not have to have all the money to pay all the members. So the WM can undersell the ads. But as usual there is a danger in this strategy and it does not work out as he/she had thought.
The other reason might be that many members would not reach the payout in a short time. This means that the WM might make the calculation that he/she should be able to postpone the payouts. Here again there is some risk involved as some smart members might have tons of referrals so they reach payout within a short time interval. The owner might not have money to pay them
There might be more reasons than I have presented here. Only the established webmasters can talk about them!

Personal opinion here: I steer clear of all new programs with really high minimum payouts simply because, at least to me, that is a #1 indicator of a PO who wants to delay any possibility of having to pay even one person for as long as possible. And the best reason I can think of for them wanting to do that is simply because they have no funds available currently and so they have to give themself a lot of time to try to generate those funds - somehow - before the first person reaches payout.

I saw a new program just last nite that honest to God had a minimum payout of $150!!!! Can you imagine how long it would take to reach that figure? I doubt most of us would even live long enough to even come close.

I know there are some older, well-established programs that also have pretty high minimums, and I'm not really interested in them either simply because I'm not out to make a fortune from PTR; but I probably wouldn't be as leery of them as I am new, unproven programs. They're obviously doing something right or they wouldn't still be in business.

Bottom line, though, it's up to each individual PO as to what their program's minimum payout will be -- just like it's up to each one of us to decide whether or not the figure is acceptable or not. We don't have to join everything and there are tons to choose from, so it's easy to avoid the high minimum programs.

This is how a relative newbie to actually being in PTR programs sees it at least.

Hi lil crusader,
UR points R well taken! In my case an additional factor is my age (72)!---govind

[lil crusader]

LOL govind - I hadn't thought of that, but age is a very good point! (I'm 50 myself so it's definitely worth taking into consideration isn't it?)

Hi, Certainly it makes a difference at least 4 me!
Actually, I do not mind signing up 4 a high payout program if all the following conditions were satisfied:

1. The WM was my friend and an honest person.
2. Referral levels were favorable 2 me.
3. For a $150 program, my ad expenses were not more
than $150
4. Most referrals were active at least for a week!
5. With the help of the above, I was able 2 have cash
balance more than $150 by the end of the first week!

Well, this does it!!
