I know a lot of you guys have aen (avs) sites and was wondering which of the top three aen's do you use and why?

I use all three. However my best avs sells history was actually with FNP before that when to crap due to its changes as a result of the VISA changes.

I have never had any problems with all of the aforementioned aens in regards with checks etc. However when it comes to site approval, listing, and customer service there IS a TREMENDOUS difference.

UGAS - takes a bit of patience with these guys. There are rules and regulations, however, they never seem to be applied equally. Plus new policies are created on the fly depending on how much sex or little of it the reviewer had the night before or whatever the reason. Initally years back it was rather simple but to get a site approved for listing in their link listing has become a complex process. I was very willing to go through all the hassle, just as others, because getting my daily quota of sites on the link list guaranteed me a minimum of $1800 every period just in middle page and signup click bonuses. Then, of course, the sells used to be rather regular also. Then the middle page bonus was terminated. The long process of submitting (each by separate action) a preview picture URL, request for a Preferred Status, waiting for a response and hopefully the new script, uploading the new script to the site, testing it, then resubmitting the site for final approval just sometimes became a tedious exercise in EXCESSIVE REDTAPE MANAGEMENT. More frustriating to me was that the policies were applied only to most webmasters while a select few were EXEMPT. I had a rather great following years back in a group of sites called Bad Boys. This was included in each UGAS site title. My branding. Well somewhere someone (probably a member of the UGAS clique) got a hair up their ass or their panties in a twist and I was informed that all sites must be unique titles. Well I just started using an aliasname as the title and that worked for a while but soon the sites were declined due to non-unique titles. Slowly over the past year and even more aggressively, I have noticed that the long time "UGAS forever" banner wavers (clique) have started to list sites with both GMP and ManCheck. Guess after years of loyal exclusive patronage to one avs and now they are "expanding" their assets speaks for itself.

GMP -- I really don't have much to comment on with this avs/aen. When I first started in the gay website business, the staff was very helpful and taught me a lot. Seems like it takes forever to get a site approved these days. Last time I submitted one for approval it took over a week. Haven't submitted or updated anything with them since then and that was months and months ago. Sells never have been that great for me.

ManCheck -- By far I have found this one to the best in customer service and site approvals. When ever I had a question or thought, my emails were always promptly and swifty answered. They are the easiest to work with also. Only problem was that I wasn't making the sells I wanted with them so I just listed with them on occasion. I haven't done anything recent with them in a long time.

I read a similar thread about UGAS vs GMP and just wanted to throw Mancheck into the pool. Now I know that the main reason that my sells problems with GMP and Mancheck were based primarily with the fact that I was making over $5000 in sells a month with FNP. It was like taking candy from a baby. But times have changed and I must settle down to business once again. I just haven't decided which aen to use as my primary aen -- GMP or Mancheck. I might comment that I have been had access to their premium members areas. GMP's is a special page and endup.com and well that sucks. (However I have a site with GMP that only had 1 sell - however it has had 25 months of a $2.00 bonus - I am assuming it is the upgrade bonus). Mancheck's videoPlus member's area -- well the staff really needs to work on this. Many of the plugins are really SHIT and haven't been upgraded in a long time. There are so many great plugins available that do update weekly, have original and HOT content. Might be worth the bit of extra expense for Mancheck to drop the TRASH and plugin in the NEW. Would make rebills and sells easier. I have to agree with a comment I read in another thread that it was much easier to sell Mancheck rather than Mancheck Plus. My sells dropped to ZERO when I went exclusive Mancheck Plus. But then I was raking in the bucks over at FNP and just didn't care.

Oh I am beginning to ramble - enough!
