Paradise Poker--they need to get their act togethe

[Stephen]

Hi CasinoMack

Have you tested signing up via someones affiliate link with:

Firefox? The latest Firefox? stock install
Opera? stock install
Internet Explorer (with Norton AntiVirus Security installed--the one that blocks all cookies by default)? << this is the biggy.

I have tested the lot. We do not only use cookies, rather we trace IP's of Users to make sure nothing is missed.

Again, I don't see how your stats are depressing - your history doesn't show massive numbers with Paradise. The new program is not going to increase our figures. If anything, it will reduce them slightly until history on the tag catches things up...

Mmmmm... its interesting others are having this same problem - I was just noticing this the other day, and thought my referal link must have been wrong (I checked it and it was right, and this wouldn't have made sense - since the downloads appeared to be getting counted properly!)

On one of my sites, I rank various poker rooms from 1 to 10. The higher ranked the poker room is on my site, the more active accounts I get from it! This holds true for 100% of the major poker rooms on my site except Paradise... that is to say, every 10 ranked site gets more active accounts then every 9.5 ranked site which gets more active accounts then every 9.0 ranked site. Paradise is ranked 9.5 yet I have 0 active accounts... 121 downloads in the last month, but not a single active account. The particular site i'm mentioning (the only one I'm currently promoting Paradise on) is a freerolls site, so it is entirely possible that there are no active accounts - but its weird that every other site is converting so much better! I'll keep my eye on it over the next month or two and see if anything changes. I know Paradise would never purposely rip affiliates off, and that Stephen is one of the most active and knowledgeable managers out there - but I just hate to see a big fat 0 for earnings from what I consider one of my major sites. Has anyone done a test - tried deposited using an affiliate link in all the different browsers with "cookie crunchers" installed.

If anyone would care to pool together some money and send it to me through neteller I'd be happy to do a test of Paradise's Affiliate link/depositing. I've never played there before. Minimum deposit is only $50... You might even earn back your $50 and then some (depends how nice/soft the room is).

I am a pretty low-traffic affiliate, but I've also been surprised at the extremly low deposit rates for referrals. Until a week or two ago I had zero signups. During this time I had about 20 new RMP accounts at Party, with both sites promoted roughly equally on my site.

The question in my mind is "WHY BOTHER?" I am just wasting page real estate with my links to Paradise. I am considering removing them just to reduce clutter.

It really depends on how long you have been promoting both products for - tags take time to build natural history with them... I find it very strange indeed to hear that ratio - something is definitely off.

Please PM or email me your Affiliate Name..

Thanks, Stephen
