Why haven't you fixed the BIG bugs we write you in this thread months ago http://forums.gaywidewebmasters.com/...ad.php?t=15337 before launching a new hosted site? I'm really interessed in promoting your free hosted sites, blogs and reviews sites but I don't want to promote sites that doesn't have my linkcode...
I addressed this issue a couple of days ago in this thread..Quote:

The programmer we had working on the blog just disappeared on us so we've been trying to find a new one to get everything working fully.

Yeah I had a giggle thinking about Lee as a 23-year-old, I know he was at one time, but still, it made me grin.Quote:

I hope this is just an unintentional mistake and in the future you will say all your affiliates what promo tools are still in beta and what we can use to promote you :wtf:
Because we havent been able to find a programmer with the required skill sets to complete the fix. I could quite easily have tried playing with things myself but, im not a tech type and would, in all honesty, end up doing more harm than good.Quote:

That is a very broad and wrong assumption on your part, for the record, since this bug was first brought to my attention i have hired and, subsequently fired, no less than 4 programmers, all of who said they could fix the issue, all of whom couldnt. The last guy i was speaking to, as i mentioned in my reply the other day, rather than telling me that they couldnt fix the problem, just disappeared. Leaving me NOW looking for yet another programmer to work on this.Quote:

Again, you are assuming that affiliates arent making money from the blog and, that fact couldnt be further from the truth. Hardcore Pride wasnt launched in beta because, it was working fully when it was launched, it was only when WordPress issued a security upgrade that it started getting errors.Quote:

The fact is, Hardcore Pride does work, is making affiliates money and continues to be updated on a regular basis so affiliates can choose to continue sending their traffic to the promo tool.
Again, as soon as i have found a programmer with a proper level of competency, that can fix these errors, they will be fixed, until that time, you can either send your traffic to the gay industries only hosted blog or not, it is entirely your choice, im not holding a gun to your head demanding that you send traffic.

wow Lee, 6 months to find a programer for something so easy.... geee.... I guess your blog isn't actually out of the beta yet
If in 6 months you wasn't able to find a skilled tech is a yourproblem, not mine. If I'm your affiliate and I'm promoting an hosted blog (as you said NOT IN BETA) I want that ALL traffic I sent to your blog was productive traffic. If a user I send to your blog clicks on an "archive" link, or the "home" link, or a post title link I earn NO money if the user visiting the blog decide to buyan access to a condomcash paysite. That's not really correct and you can verify it easily. You can surf your hosted blog and you can see the ccbill links. If you click a post title and after that you click a paysite link you can see that the paysite link doesn't use your refid code so affiliates doesn't earn money from that.Quote:

That's true, but that's really strange you can't admit that your hosted blog doesn't work correcly and you didn't send a mail to your affiliates explaining what the problems are.Quote:

I think that your hosted blog is a great idea, but I can't understand why you can't admit that it have some bugs that make it sometimes unproductive for affiliates.
Agreed however, you arent promoting the hosted blog so im not really seeing why you have an issue with things.Quote:

I understand what you are saying with the archive pages and that is something that needs fixing, the problem is however, unless i find a programmer who is not only capable but available to correct the issues, they arent going to get fixed.
As i have already said in this thread, i have previously hired and fired 4 programmers who told me they were able to fix the issues at hand, after weeks of them trying stuff, they werent able to fix things, that should tell you that this isnt something as simple as adding a link or line of code, it goes much deeper hence, why im looking for a programmer right now with the correct skill sets to fix these linking bugs.
Okay i think you must be confusing me with someone else, i have stated several times in this thread that there are bugs that need to be worked out but, that doesnt mean the blog isnt working as it should, as i have said, there are a lot of affiliates making regular sales from Hardcore Pride, to say the blog in its entirity 'doesnt work correctly' is a little over-dramatic, if it didnt work, affiliates wouldnt be making sales from it or, sending traffic to it.Quote:

Yeah some affiliates might be making sales. So that means some affiliates are losing sales. while you are able to keep them since parts of your blog do not keep affiliate llinking codes.Quote:

Yes, that does mean that 5% of the traffic hitting HP isnt tracked properly however, until i find a programmer who is able to correctly fix that particular issue, you need to chose, as an affiliate, whether or not you want to send your traffic to the Hardcore Pride hosted blog or not.
Again, im not holding a gun to anyones head demanding that they send traffic to the blog, its your traffic, you should make a decision on where you want to send it, if you dont want to use the added benefits of sending it to Hardcore Pride and building up a base of bookmarked traffic, dont, you are well within your rights not to send any traffic there.
Just because we offer the only hosted gay blog as a promo tool on Condom Cash, that doesnt mean you have to use it.

Lee
it's not only the archives. I could take another screen capture if u want me to.
I know just because you offer it I don't have to use it. But why offer something incomplete. At least let your webmasters know the situation of your imcomplete only hosted gay blog. So they won't keep wasting their traffic.
You said before It was going to be fixed. It has been SIX months.
Please do, however, i think you'll find that it is only the archive pages that lose the affiliate id at the present time.Quote:

ahahahah, you are joking I hope or do you think we are all stupid? You modified the link page yesterday... You make the "post title" link not clickable, you corrected the "home" link, you deleted the "comments" links, you corrected the "cumsoda tgp" linkQuote:

That's incredible, you fixed by yourself lots of bugs in ONE day!!!
*I* didnt fix anything, i changed the template to the 'incomplete' one that the last programmer i hired did.Quote:

Basically, its a 1 page site which im sure you will agree, isnt a blog at all.
Would you rather i kept it like this until a programmer can fix up the rest of the stuff or, chage it back so that affiliates who are sending traffic, have a chance at getting a bookmarked surfer?
It seems no matter what i do right now you are going to have a problem, i think the easiest solution to your problem, is not to send any traffic to the blog oh, hang on, you arent.
Regards,
Lee
okay, i have a couple questions.
does the review site work as far as affiliate codes passing through? if so, i think it's a good place for 404 traffic. if not, it's important to know.
do the people who are angry about the blog still promote condom cash? do you link to the blog?
