This is a warning to anybody wanting to hop onto the phpFoX Affiliate Program…

If you’ve had any experience in Affiliate Marketing - you should know that an Affiliate Program is useless unless you know how many sales you have. phpFoX took this away from their Affiliates. How sweet of them. Why did they do this? Simple… they got upset that their marketing tactics suck! They were mad because they had to pay their Sales People to make them money. The irony, right?

I was one of their best Affiliates for well over a year and they completely screwed me over. They lied about the number of Sales I had made. They asked me to “confirm” each sale that I made - hoping I COULDN’T do it.

To their surprise - I had come up with 8 confirmed sales one month… but I KNEW that was less than half of the sales I had made that month, besides the few they did pay me for.

They’re horrible in helping out their affiliates… the ones who helped BUILD their company. Without Affiliate - the company would be just another online script. Plain and Simple.

They ignore emails… they ignore requests.

Their Company has gone to hell inside and out. The script is now a joke. Back in the day it was one of the best Scripts available… actually, it was THE best. But now it’s just a nightmare, which is why I sold all 4 of my copies I had.

One thing they don’t keep away from their affiliates is click thru’s. So I did some investigating and noticed my CTR is higher than it’s even been the past 3 months and guess how much money they paid out to me? $22.99!!!

How did this happen? Simple…

They didn’t like the fact that I haven’t been giving positive feedback in forums like I did in the past. Why not? Because, as stated above, their Company is going down the drain. Customer Support is a nightmare. Not the worst but it’s like a 180 compared to what they were back in 2006, when they were the absolute best.

I was used to getting $300+ per month without even promoting their product over the past few months and I KNEW they were still keeping more than 75% of my sales from me. Why would they pay me? They don’t have to… as long as they don’t have to prove how many sales I’VE GOTTEN. Right?

Their Program is an absolute JOKE.

I just made the mistake of being unbiased in forums and letting people know what I thought when I loved the software and what I thought when I disliked the software.

Either way - I get emails all the time from people telling me how they purchased the software through MY LINKS because I had so many good things to say. So I want people to know the truth…

The Software is NOT like it was. Although it’s a better Script from an Object Oriented Programming perspective - the script runs horribly now. They’re stuck in 2006 and they keep taking steps back.

Customer Support is a joke. If you like trying to get answers from people who ask you questions rather than give you answers (although you give them HARDCORE DETAILS) - you’ll love their support. Especially knowing that several of my old clients (not dealing with clients anymore as of 2 weeks ago) had told me they had support “looking” at their problems - made mistakes and then LEFT them hanging for WEEKS!

Only to be given a run around.

I’ve had several clients tell me their Host(s) suspended their accounts because of Query problems.

That sucks. It’s a shame that a Company would go downhill for a few extra bucks.
