After suffering from a massive downturn in sales the past few weeks, I decided to test to see if RG is indeed shaving -
To perform this test I used 3 dedicated proxies, and bought 3 new accounts using my affiliate link on 3 separate files, over a period of 6 hours -
None of the sales registered on my affiliate sales list
All 3 files were removed by RG shortly after the accounts were purchased due to 'copyright infringement' - 3 out of a total of 6 files removed today, from over 65000 files in total on my account
In summary - Rapidgator are indeed shaving heavily, by removing files used to buy affiliate links citing 'copyright infringement' . This must be an automated system process on their end, which they temporarily disable during certain hours to give the illusion that nothing is wrong
Now just think about it, if you are getting 10 sales a day you might think 'All is fine, what is everyone talking about, I'm happy with RG' - but you might actually be getting 40+ sales in reality and only 10 are being 'let through'. It can add up to serious spare change.
