Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com ever paid out?
I know how you feel. :bang::bang::bang:
Thanks, ill do the same! Just wasnt sure if it was only me having problems.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com ever paid out?
How interesting. These guys choose not to pay out affilaites (at least not gaydemon and MOTN) but still send out Press releases and from what it looks like are doing well:
http://www.xbiz.com/news/glbt/94752
I’ve emailed them again, no response to my email I sent them on the 11th of May. Its not a huge amount they owe, just $500. But it doesnt matter. I really dont put up with no payments.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com ever paid out?
So why don’t you issue a press release and send it to XBIZ? Seriously, I’d at least send a note to XBiz at the press release e-mail address. And there is a phone number and e-mail address in that press release, I’d contact them as well. The more of a stink you start to make, the more likely you are to get your money.

damned right. squeeky wheel gets the grease
i’d add in gayporn to that list, too.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com ever paid out?
I finally heard back from them!! They said that they not recieved any of my (countless) previous emails. I think what did it, is that I cc;ed the video distributor on my last email to them.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com ever paid out?
Just an update. These guys still have not paid. They still owe me a considerable amount. :grrr:
I did have an answer from someone but they have gone and disappeared.
It seems owing people money is nothing they worry much about… they rather concentrate on producing new videos.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
I noticed that they don’t have a webmaster sign-up page on their site anymore. I guess that says it all.

Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
I’ve known Dennis at AMG for years and I can’t imagine that he would not pay on purpose. I’ve never had a problem.
You should contact him [email protected], I’m sure he’ll want to solve this.

Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
I have, and did speak to him. He told me he would look into it, but that was several weeks ago. And now I don’t get any replies at all.
The way he responded made it sound like it wasnt really of importance or any priority to him to get it sorted out.
Unfortunately I’m not the only one they owe money either.

Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
And this is exactly what the purpose of a Board such as this is all about.
According to their self-generated press releases and awards nominations, they are big stuff.
NOT if they don’t pay their bills.
I’d stop driving traffic after 30 days non-payment.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
i don’t mean to revive a dead thread but i just saw that AMG has apparently redone their website. (it’s old news but i just saw it). i see that a “New Affiliate Program Coming Soon!”
are people still out money?
if they are it’s too bad cuz i’ve always been a MAJOR fan of that ‘classic’ look.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
I would not recommend using them. They still owe me money but do not respond to any emails. I kept emailing them for several months, never getting replies then finally i get:
[SIZE=3]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]As I said several times, this is going to take some time. Thanks for your understanding. The figures in our affiliate program are wrong, and we are trying to find out why.[/SIZE]
[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
take some times to them means months!
Then I get…
[SIZE=3]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]All we show is that we owe you $8.94 in active NOT PAID status. Generally we only send a check when the amount reaches over $25. You mentioned something about another 500 something, but only that figure we see is the amount already paid out in the past (501.16), the accumulation of past payments. This is similar to your accumulated clicks that you have had so far (25,106) So yes, we are delinquent on $8.94 and we’ll get that right out to you. You also have a few signup payouts in the pending status, not included in the $8.94. These will be sent out in a separate check.[/SIZE]
[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
Which is utter rubbish, I keep track of every single $ and know exactly what I’m owed. I wouldnt be in business if I didnt keep track of sponsors.
After that I never got any response. Den doesnt feel its important to pay what is owed and could not care less.
Stay away from these idiots.

Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
Ask to see a copy of that canceled check for $501.16.
That is if you can actually get him to respond…
So his affiliates numbers are messed up, he doesn’t know why, but he knows for certain that he has paid you $501.16 and owes you $8.94, but the numbers are wrong.
Interesting.
If he was going to play the “everything is messed up game,” he should have at least been smart enough to not use the numbers in his favor and then claim they are messed up when they need to be in your favor.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
when i last reviewed the site the videos they were adding for updates weren’t classic videos - they were modern porn videos.

Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
Very good idea there, except he doesnt respond. Rather than dealing with it he ignored me. I most definitly through our correspondance got the feeling that Affilaites are not anything cares about and that he has much more very important things to deal with.
What really got me going is that he doesnt feel owing people money is a problem or something that needs to be addressed instead ignoring it.

Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
This was a similar topic on another board 2 or more years ago.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
Yes, I’m fairly sure I wasn’t the only one with problems. I’m guessing that they had issues with the affilaite system and rather than solve it just closed it and moved on, without paying any affiliates.
Re: AMG / AthleticModelGuild.com non payment!
Perhaps since the site (and content) has been around forever, he thinks he can rely on type-in, SE and other organic traffic?
Either way, that’s not a good model. Affiliates will always add to your bottom line if you manage a good program.
He is risking his reputation (and apparently has in the past, too) over a $500 payment. Not cool.
