most reps - not the ones here, btw - are nothing more than spammers who don't know the first thing about what we're doing. and it makes sense because most companies hire people who have never been around adult at all and have never been reps. then they make it clear they must bring in so many new affilates who make so much money. amazingly enough, you end up with people who post meaningless bullshit and spam.

then there are the people with some adult experience but mostly not full time on their own or they wouldn't need a job. these people mostly believe that getting to know everyone so they like you is the road to riches, so that's what they do.

personally i have rarely had a rep who was able to help me significantly or even understand what i needed. i had one woman i will never forget because our stats suddenly set back to zero, then didn't show any hits or sales for a couple of weeks, she got angry when i went around her - after she didn't do anything - to talk to tech support where she worked. she sent me angry messages several times, apparently with no idea that i might find my stats to be useful. i know a few others who found her to be no help at all - then a couple months ago, another program proudly announced that she was joining them. aspparently she convinced them she was a score. good luck to them - it's people like her that make things so difficult for affiliates to get anything fixed or done! and i've met quite a few of them, unfortunately.
