We have a few announcements to make to FileCloud affiliates. We want to
let everyone know what we have been working on and what challenges we
have faced.
As we're sure you know, it has been a very difficult time for file
hosts. It's been hard for affiliates and hard for the sites. This
industry has gotten a bad reputation, and that has made it very
difficult to get quality advertisers and payment methods for member sales.
FileCloud.ws has been hit with two severe challenges recently: adsense
blocking our site and paypal banning our account. Typically we don't
get paid from advertisers for 60 days, but because we value our
affiliates we have established weekly payments. As a result, any
interruption in the advertising or payment gateways, like Paypal,
threatens our ability to pay affiliates and continue to operate. We
present the following changes and improvements:
First - We want to be the most reputable site in our industry, for
affiliates and users. We communicate with our affiliates. After
reviewing many options we have decided to keep the same pay-per-download
rates that we currently offer affiliates and change the minimum payment
amount from $25 to $100. This change won't affect the most successful
affiliates who already earn more than that per week, but it will help us
to collect some money from advertisers and members before we have to pay
the money back out to affiliates. This does not affect pending requests
for payment, only future requests.
Second - we have established a new arrangement with POSonline.it to
replace PayPal with Visa and Mastercard processing. We have already
successfully integrated POSonline.it on filehost.ws and we expect that
it will launch on FileCloud.ws in the next few days.
Third - we have enabled remote upload on FileCloud.ws and we ask that
you try it out and let us know if you have any trouble.
Fourth - we are adding servers to the site to improve your upload speeds.
When a site like ours makes any type of change to the affiliate programs
there are complaints and accusations, we know that. As partners in this
business we just ask that you understand that it can be a very difficult
business to be in, and occasionally changes have to be made to insure
that the business continues.
We thank you for your work, and we hope you appreciate our work too.
