Happy Tuesday!

I have been busy adding lots of offers the past few days and now have over 1,100 available to all you pirates! Approvals have been slow the past couple of days, but I believe there is an affilate conference going on right now and they may be busy with that. I'm sure the approvals will pick up very soon.

Now onto a subject I hate to bring up. I have been hit by more frauders, once again. This saddens me because it effects the whole GPT industry and the people who are honest and hard working. If you fraud, you will get caught. There is a a GPT forum that site owners go to, where we compare notes on fraudulant activity. We also always recieve word from our affilates when a member has commited fraud. These people are banned immediately and forfeit their earnings. Some of these frauders get a tad nasty and go on forums and bash the sites they are banned from. It's very frustrating to see that when I work hard to make this the best possible site for my members to work for.

To all of you wonderful and honest pirates, A BIG thankyou for all your hard work!! I am requiring photo id now, due to people making false utility bills and such. I"m sorry for that inconvenience, but I do need ID before I can pay you. I'm also hoping to pay early considering payout is the day after the 4th of July and I'm sure everyone wants extrra money to have for the holiday

Much Peace,
Mary

I think I told you all before, my husband is a long distance truck driver? He is actually home again for actually this time a few days! So tommorow night we are going out of town and staying in a hotel for the night. Since its summer I have a constant flood of teenage boys staying over night and with the fraud issues and especially what hypersweeper put me thru I need a night away. To just relax and get away from it all for a night. lol Soooo. I will do an approval run, answer tickets, messages etc sat. afternoon and then I will be back to work sunday afternoon. Just wanted you all aware In case you wondered about approvals. Thankyou all for your suppport during the hyper issue, I lost an affilate today because of it that cost me $800, however, I am not going to reverse any offers with my members. My honest, very hardworking members don't deserve to have their money taken away because of a stupid frauder. I will take the hit on that one, enough money comes into the site enables me to do so. Besides, I'm really not in it for the money anyway, just something fun to do and help people make money

Much Peace,

Hello My Fellow Pirates,

Just wanted to let everyone know that offers have been slowly added over the past week. When new offers are first added they seem to have better approvals than old ones. So it's a good idea to complete those soon after they are added

Also, three days are left on the contest with plenty of time to sail away with lots of pirate loot! So get those pirate hats on, climb aboard the ship and complete those offers for your chance at the top prize of $120 and 120 doubloons!!

I would also like to welcome the new forum moderator at Pirate's Riches, Scurvy Wench. She is very helpful and is available to answer any questions you may have. Check out the forum for valuable tips and information. Simply click on the forum link on the right side of the member page and sign up today!!

Much Peace,

Good Morning Pirate's!

Another month is over and a new one has begun here at Pirate's Riches. I wanted to thank all my members for making July yet another successful month! All the hard work you put in to get those offers completed is very appreciated and keeps the pirate ship afloat.

Congragulations to all our contest winners for July! A new month has just started so you have lots and lots of time to bring in that pirate treasure that awaits anyone who is willing to make the time and effort.

This month I am going to search the high seas for new affiliates and new offers to bring as many offers a possible to all you hard working buccaneers! Let's all work together to make Pirate's riches the best GPT site out there! Have a great rest of your summer everyone


Much Peace,

Hey there everyone,

I wanted to give everyone a heads up on some of the changes I have been pondering to the contests on the site. As everyone knows, business is an ever changing entity, always fine tuning, always streamlining to make things as well oiled and smooth running as possible!

So it occurs to me that some of the contests we have going are a little redundant. As it stands right now, we have two different types of contests that pay out for the most offers that are completed. First we have the weekly contests, always a favorite and also the contest that also pays out for the members with the top offers completed.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love being able to award members for their hard work as much as we possibly can. However, we do want to make it so that things are as sustainable in the long run as possible.

As a result, I have decided to tweak the month long, most offers completed contest. Instead of the monetary prizes we currently have, we have decided to change it to the top 5 people will be able to cashout up to $75 A WHOLE MONTH EARLY! Now we all know that having to wait a whole month in order to cashout can be a little tedious so I figured that cashing out early would be an amazing incentive!

So there you have it folks, just a little change I wanted to let you know about. Have a great day everyone

Much Peace,
Mary

Hello Fellow Pirates!

First I wanted to thank everyone for all their hardwork this past week. The contest was a huge success with really high numbers. A big congragulations to all of our winners!

Now onto a subject I would rather not have to mention, however as anyone knows there is alot of fraud in the gpt industry. However, when it is an affiliate that does it, I am shocked to say the least. This past month an affiliate that owed me aprox. $1,750 in june thru august commisions has taken off. Obviously he felt he needed the money more than the site owners and members I have never heard of an affiliate doing this before, especially one who had payed on a regular basis beforehand. However in no way does this mean that the gpt industry is failing or Pirate's Riches is closing down. Thanks to all the hard work by members, the site continues to be a success, which is appreciated deeply However in order to be able to recoup the loss and pay on time in October I have had to make a decision I am not thrilled at all about in the least. I am not reversing those offers that you as members worked so hard on. That is not fair to any of you. In order to be able to do that though, I will be putting all those offers from that affiliate that were approved and putting them under review until September. Unfortunately you will not receive those earnings until then to your balance, but the good news is you will have them added back into your balance and can cash those out the end of next month. I refuse to have my members suffer the consequences of a dishonest affiliate.

Your understanding in all of this is greatly appreciated and please remember that I am the one who is taking the loss if you have any questions or concerns and wish to contact me. I am more than happy to help with those

Take care everyone and thankyou for being a part of Pirate's Riches!

Much Peace,
