So farewell Advertising Banners

[Dave]

The BBS has been shafted again by a US advertising company. The company, which owed around $1000 has cancelled their account with us with immediate effect. We won't get paid.

We are finacially viable for the next months due to the very kind monthly donations of members and the exeptional generosity those that attended the Christmas bash.

Many many thanks to these people as without them there would no BBS.

Will do.

[Mat ov CPFC]

Come on Chaps, those of us who already pay a certain amount. lets increase it as of tommorrow.


And Dave, surely thre must be something we can do against the ******s who owe the BBS the money, even if it is just smashing the **** out of their London offices ?

[Dave]

Well Matt I would love to think that these companies have London offices but alas they do not.

Heres their US offices

To be honest things are tough all over in the Internet advertising game- They are super tough if you are a UK football site with a fair amount of bad language etc etc.

Dave, what is thier 'justification' for not paying the money owed ?

[Dave]

Dear David:

We greatly appreciate the business you have provided Amazing Media. Unfortunately, due
to current market conditions, we have determined that we are no longer in need of the
advertising inventory available on your site. Therefore, we must cancel your
account. If you have accumulated $50.00 in earnings as of the date of this notice, you
will be compensated for ad appearances (please refer to http://www.amazingmedia.com/publishers/payment.jsp ).

Please remove the Amazing Media advertising code from your site(s) immediately, as you
will not be compensated for any appearances after this date.

It has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Regards,
Amazing Media Publisher Network

Sounds like you were being paid according to the business generated – how do you calculate the $1,000??

No: The adverts were CPM which means that for every 1000 times an advert is shown around 35c goes to us. The provide stats every day and amount to be paid.

Do they have an e-mail adress?

We could protest a la FA, when we got narked off with them!

If everybody posts 2 e-mails, we could seriously fouck their e-mail up!

How about it?
