Another Guru Kicked To The Curb

I waited a couple of months before posting this to cool down a bit, and am ready to share...

An extremely well known IM Guru with quite a stable of products on their own affiliate network, and I liked a particular product that was viral in nature and designed to produce traffic more than it was cash and included it in a program I promoted and taught in teleseminar settings. I gathered the info from those in the class, so I know that they each signed up for this particular service and yet not one of them (10 in all) showed up in my affiliate stats.

So I dutifully sent in a support ticket to find out what was up. I got a response in 2 days:

Everything is fine! No other answer of any kind.

Sent in another inquiry, and was told that I hadn't had a single signup on that program. I explained that I had, and how I knew that I had. Next response: Everything is fine on our end.

Well I responded that it obviously was not fine as their tracking didn't work. I did so politely and with no rancor at all. No response at all from that point forward.

After another 2 weeks of trying to get some kind of answer from the organization of this VERY well known marketer, I gave up. Took down everything I had up promoting his stuff and will never promote another of his products again.

Many of us out here are not well known names, and nobody will ever call us gurus. That doesn't mean we don't deserve to be treated fairly. This individual has had some great looking promotions going lately. A shame that if I got hooked into promoting them I already know I'd never see a dime...
