This is damage beyond repair, what has been shown is that they really don’t care about their affiliates and are only interested in reacting when they’re being pushed against the wall and being forced to take action.

They don’t even have the insights to add a formal correct public apology comment on this post to even try to repair the damage.

Or provide more information on how this type of amateurish affiliate program abuse/mis-management could have occurred in the first place!

They need to save face big time! and a quick update alone on a blog post like this isn’t going to cut it…what it takes is to show measures are being taken to prevent this from happening ever again to you or anyone else.

A message to MarketingSherpa’s President Bob Lorum:

Don’t be a coward and let some staffer do what you needed to do in the first place! – Take the responsibility and make that personal call yourself…make a public comment on this post with your apology and offer some credible solution to prevent this from happening again.

You can continue your pathetic destrcutive behavior or step up to the plate and do what’s right.

I’m actually surprised that a apologetic phone call from some unimportant staffer is enough to convince you anything is going to change for the better…it just shows you this isn’t taken seriously enough.

A start?
Not even close…

Yup, I went through the same ridiculous cycle. While they apologized and paid (finally), I doubt I’ll do much more to sell their stuff. It’s a shame, really.

I thought that name sounded familiar. I have only heard of their practices here: http://twitter.com/portentint/status/2192145676

Going public with it got him a check suddenly. He said last week he’s waiting for it to clear.
