You can if you want. I doubt they'll listen. Just when I was starting to warm up to this company again they pull a stunt like this

New massively terrible update from refban..

Ok, now that was a real back stabbing move from rogue group..
Are they serious? At least when you mess up be honest..don't point the finger to us..
They removed the 10 levels of downline because it made the system complicated? Smiley

i can just imagine the emails:

Please take away these awful ten extra levels of earnings for me. I am much better off earning on fewer levels. This is way too confusing for me as it stands. How does getting paid on ten levels work?

WHOA! I feel for you buddy! Smiley

This is outrageous. And sites wonder why the majority of people don't 'invest' in them when they do stuff like this

I learned from experience that it's tough to do well with a program whereas when it comes down to it, you'll only benefit when your referral makes a purchase. IMHO.

And now, the only people that the program considers valuable are advertisers and publishers. Those of us who go out and find affiliates are cast aside yet that is about 90% of the people in internet marketing. How many people publish webpages? Not a lot

Reply #157 - 2^nd Nov, 2013 at 7:06pm I'm late to the party. Looks like is was a blast I'm not TOO badly affected since I haven't that big of a downline in the lower levels (100-something). I can only imagine the guys above me... ....7000.... woot.

It becomes like a paid membership only program and we know from experience they're harder to succeed.

I also wasn't sold on having the refban banner in my site. Cause it did seem at times affected the page loading and all.

I noticed another thing recently.

I am not getting the 5 cents that I used to earn for displaying banners. My blog is getting around 10 visitors everyday as usual.

What I guess is, they've set a minimum number of display for crediting the 5 / 10 cents. (Or may be it's relaxed for advertisers.)

Edited:

Adding fuel to the fire:
I just noticed that I have 9500+ referrals as of today. But, what's the use?

Actually you don't even benefit from clicks on the banner.. unless of course the ad displayed at that specific moment is yours.

Yes. In another word, what's good is the banner if one just looks at it and not click on it.

Reply #162 - 4^th Nov, 2013 at 2:58pm I'm also kinda thinking that if the people I work with (i.e. X-PTCBox forum members) are down on the program, who am I going to work with? Thus probably increasing my chance of putting this program on the wayside.

Reply #163 - 4^th Nov, 2013 at 3:44pm Since I'm still pro for more than a year, and I have rented referrals, I'm going to stick around to see how things develop.

Well, he pulled the old bait and switch with me so I'm stuck with my upgrade for a year also. I won't quit at this point. Maybe member backlash will be enough to change his mind.

I'm wondering if the complications he was talking about was how commissions are paid due to the rented referrals? Would that really be that difficult to program?
