According to the company, in November of last year, TeasingBucks' payment processing was briefly suspended pending an investigation into one of its affiliates. During the three-week period, TeasingBucks.com President Indy personally contacted his affiliates and asked that they continue to send traffic to his cadre of fetish-focused sites. In return he promised to pay affiliate referral fees in full, despite the fact that no actual sales were being made.
"Of course I stuck by Indy during the tough time," Mario, aka Masterboy, one of TeasingBucks.com's top affiliates, said. "I really trust Indy and working with him has been a good experience. All of my questions were answered, all promo materials that I asked for were given to me, and payments were made in time. Indy is a real pro in the business but there is also a strong personal, human touch in communicating with him."
Indy reportedly applied each individual affiliate's average conversion rate over the previous three months to the traffic they sent during the three-week stint, and paid each in full.
"I wasn't expecting [this kind of care] at all," said the owner of FemdomDestiny.com, another of TeasingBucks.com's top affiliates. "If you compare this move with how other programs are acting toward small webmasters, this is something that most programs simply won't do. I guess that this is real difference between programs that care about their webmasters, small or big."
FemdomDestiny.com also made a point to say he tends to drop programs that don't show effort to care for their affiliates, and TeasingBucks.com is one of the few that the affiliate has remaining on his roster.
"I will stick with TeasingBucks.com as long as they have this kind of attitude for their webmasters," FemdomDestiny.com said.
