Here is the story.
Signed up for www.asianplayers.com (http://www.asianplayers.com) also run www.teenclicks.com (http://www.teenclicks.com) and other programs. Was sending pretty good traffic to their japanbitch site.
$350 owed from September. Somehow my address was changed in there system and went to the wrong address. Never received that after a lot of email sent to them and no answer.

Received one check for October for $70. which was weak.

$70 owed from November. Haven't received checks for that. No answer from joe@asianplayers at all.

$210 owed from December. Haven't received that check or any notice that it has been mailed or anything.

Not that this is a lot of money, they are my secondary sponsor. But $600 pays for hosting for 3 months for me. Thats pretty sad.
And still no answers from them at all, phone number doesn't answer.
Anyone else have this problem?

Its all good actually. Its not important $600 bucks. The point is thats what i pay some people who work with me, and although it was a secondary sponsor still lame.

I would just hate for newbies to get hit with those kind of expenses

Thanks.

I thinking of starting an asian themed site but with so many sponsors in this genre, I do not know which one to choose. I'll make sure to eliminate these two on my checklist.

The convert pretty good though. But never pay.

Try adwealth.

This actually did make me stronger. I built my own VIP-ID sites, which convert better then japanbitch. I am not even speaking about recurring income from those sites.

Sponsors are like Dentists , You never find them at the yellow pages , but only from a friend's recommendation .
Think about it , and it will save you headaches .

I've never heard of adwealth. Do they offer POTD or some other free content? What's their URL?
