They have been late on about the last 8 payments for me. They currently owe me two payments and by the end of the week it will be 3 payments.

I have to ask them to send me the payment every time.

Battered wife syndrome? I really wonder why people keep sending them traffic. There's not enough networks? They have some uber-exclusive offer you can't get somewhere else? O wait, I know you never get laid and they'll get you LAID at the Playboy Mansion Party!

P.S. I got the syndrome too don't worry :)

What do you guys think is really going on over there?

Delayed payments and non-payments really should be the last course of action of a big network as it does irrevocable damage to their reputation and makes everyone wary of doing big numbers with them (even those getting paid on time).

So what do you think that the underlying reason for this cashflow issue is?

Usually you don't find out until it's too late ;)
 
OH this thread again. I remember joe and few others participate in last thread we all discussed like in May? I stopped sending traffic to them after that super late payment. Its not worth it, they never paid me on time for 7 months straight. Still wonder, why are you guys still sending them traffic?

Their AM will tell you "I am here for you, don't worry", " oh you didnt get the payment, lemme check now" then you might get a reply after 3-4 days. When i had $XXXXX waiting in april-may, i used to literally call them every day. Finally got the payment some 3 weeks later and then it was the final Bye bye.

I overheard they have cashflow issues but it could be a rumour. Back n 2006, Azoogle was like the most sought after network every affiliate dream to work with and look where they are now
 
I'm not getting paid either and I keep getting the run around about other departments affecting cash flow and crap... What other depts and why are you not paying your affiliates on time? There is definitely a serious problem with them not paying. It's a kick in the balls. Time to move on... Can't run a biz this way....... I wouldn't be surprised if they don't exist in three months; writing's on the wall.......
 
Epic has been late on my payments too. Switched over 99% of my traffic besides some stuff I can live without. Curious to see if there's gonna be another playboy party.
 
Still running strong with Azoogle. Do you see me panicking? No.

Azoogle is known to have their shit together - so this is a rare situation for them to be in. Bad acquisition on their part and waiting on net 30's.

Should be fixed by September, and this thread will be history. Just give it some time.

I don't think it's a rumor. They're getting hit with late advertiser payments as well as non-payments - it's so bad that it's effecting all publishers' payments. Not just 1 or 2 pubs or this offer or that offer.

Is u serious. LOL. In other words you're still sending them traffic? Not very prudent business-wise, is it? Unless of course, they're paying YOU on time, so you can be happy and make a post like that. Then I would understand. Maybe.
 
I've also had a few friends get late payments, still getting paid, but late. I know of a few people waiting still. I'd start screaming a week late, got to keep recycling the money to make more.
 
payments have been on time for me. i'm sure they will be back on course soon.
 
I get the sense that some people (the big hitters) are still getting paid on time and everyone else isn't. I'm only doing $xx,xxx per month with them. The irony is going to be when Epic folds and they don't make that last payment, then the big boys (and girls) are going to get hurt much worse than the rest of us combined, but they don't see it coming since they're getting paid; everything is fine in their world....... They should be concerned too about all of these people not getting paid and put some pressure on the company to do the right thing. Might just expedite the enevitable though....... (canary in the coal mine.......)
 
I'm waiting on a couple of $xx,xxx payments. AM says they're approved to go out this week, but we'll see. I should've checked in here earlier. AM also says "only thing i know for a fact is we have released every payment in full just with a lag, so i wouldnt worry too much about it"

Usually I don't get worried until an AM tells me "don't worry". Now I'm worried...

They didn't acquire Connexus, they merged with them. IMO Connexus got the bad deal, not Epic.
