After reading pages upon pages of the new rules set out by affiliate networks for the referral based freebie sites does anyone know if this will affect the DIY sites?

Basically what happened is affiliate networks have noticed a tremendous amount of fraud and are cracking down to eliminate it (taking down some offers, [bd5f831d2e0]no more manual credits[/bd5f831d2e0], etc.)

Basically...are DIY sites still safe to do? I mean they should be, and its not like people do MCR's for DIY sites a lot, but I just wanted to make sure, I was going to spend $1,000 on the product test panel site, but with all the commotion over fraud/affiliate networks I am unsure.

Thanks!

Don't do PTP....It's not worth the risk. Do the Ideal plasma site, and chill til another one pops up. You get a lot better payout percentage wise w/ a lot less risk.

I think the effect will be the same for diy....offers will get yanked....life will go on here too )

RollTheStampede makes me think it's worth the risk )

I will be doing the ideal plasma, the PTP site, and the yourtopbrands 5 offer $1350 site...and then I'll be done for awhile since I will be out of offers most likely...but just hope that Brandarama will still be able to pay out.

Yeah....Brandarama owes me $1500 yet, and if you don't mind throwing down a grand on a chance of getting nothing free out of it, then have it. There are just better payouts out there for what you have to put into them.

Yup, I definately agree, the only motivating factor is that my brother wants a Macbook Pro, and the fact that RTS just got his items makes it seem more legit...we'll see what happens though, I'll definately have an update if I try to do PTP.

that's what's killing me too, i WANT a new macbook pro... that's the only reason I'd even consider it, since there are significantly better payout ratios... but it's getting tough... and who the hell wants to find 30 or 40 people on a ref site to get a MBP.... Still.. 1000 dollars for stupid useless offers might just be too much to ask...

What is the yourtopbrands $1350 site?


And watch out on the Product Test Panel... it worked fine for RTS since his last page offers were nowhere near as bad as they are now.

Unless you have a brat who needs some new furniture )

They are actually the same as RTS's. And look at the brandarama site list topic for the sites.

Ah, that's a lot better than what I got then. I had 3 options, and would have been out $2500. Wasn't exactly a winning proposition.

And I take it your $1350 is $1000 + 250 + 100 ) I thought you had one for $1350 straight.

Good luck at PTP.

Ah, great, thanks for the link.

I'd like to do this, but I'm starting to feel I have too much cooking with brandarama right now. And what would I do with $1350 from Sport's Authority. I just bought a damn total gym -/

Something to think about I suppose.
