How will I know if an affiliate site is legit?

Hi guys, I recently purchased a TGP script and I have signed up to the sponsors below. Could anyone tell me if these sponsors are legit or not?

gaypay.com
gaygravy.com
bigcashsociety.com
c1r.com
cashkaboom.net
emoprofits.com
kinkydollars.com
pridebucks.com
PuppyCash.com
rainbowrevenue.com
staghommestudios.com
suite703.com

I also signed up with sponsors under CCBill. Are all sites under CCBill legit? How will one know if an affiliate site is legitimate?

Thanks in advance guys :)

List looks good except for GayGravy ... word on the boards is they have been caught using stolen content, and totally abusing credit card users with hidden charges when someone signs up for a site.

I'm the manager of CashKaboom.net and I always try to work closely with affiliates to get them the tools they need and I take care to make sure they receive their payments on time. As you've seen on ********Biz, there are affiliates willing to attest that CashKaboom is legit.
Please get in touch if you want to discuss anything in particular.
Good luck with your new promotions!

Hi Eric, I get by with the email updates but wouldn't it be a lot of help if you have free hosted galleries or RSS feeds with the affiliate ID embedded? The TGP script I'm using imports galleries from RSS feeds and it really eases my job as an affiliate. I could give you a sample RSS feed from one of my sponsors, if you want :)

Hi Bec, I have already deleted all the links and galleries for gaygravy and gaypay. Thanks :)

I highly suggest to stay away from GayGravy... There are a lot of webmasters who are making attempts with them to get paid and are not having any responses. They've been caught red handed many times thieving content. They've been known to sell out their programs to another established company that they create and then shut down. Very shady. We caught them stealing our content, we bought a membership to their site and within 45 days charges racked up to over $480 in cross sales and shady sales. We disputed them.
No biller (CCBill, Epoch, etc.) will not process for them which is why they now use their own off shore merchant account.

I have been working with Pride Bucks for about 4 years, Puppy cash for 6-7 years, and cash kaboom for a few months. I've never had one single problem with any of these programs and everything has been successful with them.
The others I haven't worked with.

Hey there :) Not a problem!

Another program that does well is HazeCash. I had serious doubts at first, but I jumped in and was very happy of the outcome and regreted doubts.

I've also learned that it's the not so exposed programs that do better.

Hello
We do have some FHGs with affiliate link code links in the AdTools area. We're looking into incorporating RSS feeds. Thanks for the feedback!

Emoprofits is solid -- excellent support, excellent program and sites, good conversions
Hunkmoney/Britishbucks -- also excellent support and sites are first rate, I just started promoting them and Luke has been super helpful
GayPay -- last I checked the updates were ages old on the memberareas and somehow my minimum payout changed without me doing it
There's a lot of good CCBill-based sites out there also but check once you sign up to make sure the tracking is not just cookie-based (it will say 'IP' under program details once you sign up) and check the amount of time that tracking lasts. A lot of them only have 1hr timeframe so if customer deliberates, you won't get credit. The only CCBill issue I have is the linkcodes can be a mess to sort out if the program contains more than one site.
Signing up to a proggie costs you nothing and the first thing you should do is see about getting a look around the memberarea to make sure the site itself is 'legit' - not junk content, updated often, etc.

Yes, they too changed my minumum payout to US$ 3.000. Going to change it again and see when the money comes in. :D

I didn't have issues with them paying on time per se, but it's pretty much a killer that I'm trying to sell something not updated since 2007-2008. Forget rebills, so partnership won't go, and the person I sent there won't trust me next time I recommend a site.

FYI, GayPay and GayGravy are run by the same outfit.

My approach is to put them online and follow results very closely for a few days. I know how my site performs and what my audience will buy. For example, I have an account with a major webcam site and they send me a ton of money each month. I can put up similar exposure for competitors and I get nothing. One site makes me $10,000 and one site makes me no dollars for essentially the same exposure selling the same type of product.

Both are scammers. This means they treat both Members and Affiliate Partners.
I recommend to read this: gaydemon.biz/archive/index.php/t-1774.html

It is the same scammer group:
adultdevelopments.com
- archivecash.com
- gaygravy.com
- tastydollars.com
- skintraffic.com
- prideaccess.com
- gaypay.com
- trannypay.com
- nichepay.com
