is filesonic cheating?

[nakama30]

hey guys i'm with file sonic PDD plan, i upload files larger than 400 mb and most of my downloads come from countries in tier A and B and yet i get only arround 13$ for 1000 download when it's supposed to be at least around 25$ so they are obviously shaving like hell, but my true concern is for PPS plans...don't you think it's a rip off when you get paid only once a life per user when they buy a premium but you won't get a dime after that if the user decides to renew...

You should be happy that they are paying you at all, dont be greedy. Filesonic is running a profit making business, its not a charity. If you give you a share of all the renewal earnings, how will they stay in the business.

it's not about greed and i'm not begging for some charity here, i spend my precious time to earn them premium sales so they better pay me oterwise why would i even bother..there are plenty of similar business models out there that pay they're members on a revnue share model 50/50 but i'm not asking for that as i know a filehosting has a lot to spend on servers and bandwidth, staff...ect but rewarding uploaders with 2$ or 3 whenever an exiting premium users renew his account wouldn't hurt now would it

yes, there are hosts that pay you for renewals as well, but they are not famous at all. 99% of them are fly by, scam hosts.

Filesonic has a good system in place, they are paying users and that too in decent numbers. I'd be more happy if they improve their infrastructure rather than change their payout schemes

Have you ever considered prem users who download your files but are counted once per day?

probably prem. users DL your files.

do not post eveything in 24 hours period..........as only 1 ip counted.....

I don't know if they are shaving downloads or not. Your second point is important because yes, on PPS program you earn 65% or 10$ fixed for each sale.

But what happens if the user decide to renew their account? nothing, because you don't earn any commission for rebills.

On Oron.com you will earn money for rebills up 55% (lifetime money). If you are a good webmaster then they offer you 65% on sales and rebills.

Oron own 2 biggest forums: pornbb and forumophilia

What is bad on Oron.com:
limited web space, 15 GB data transfer per 2 days

I do not use Oron right now because my site have filesonic links and many Filesonic premium members

you are wrong, the downloads that shows in the statistics are unique downloads, 1000 downloads mean 1000 unique downloads

that's where most of my downloads comes from



My earnings knowing that i upload 400 mb+ files:



they're PPD plans :



now supposly that ALL my download comes from group B which is not the case here cause most my downloads comes from group A and say that i even upload files under 400 mb shouldn't i at least get 19$ instead of the crap they given me? i don't know what to call this if not shaving downloads
