Nope, still trying to find out why and who.. and if it's real or not.

Jeeze man, didn't they just clean house a month or so ago? WTF is going on over there??

GeorgeB · 09-29-2006, 10:25 PM

Damn, just when I started making money with them.

I'm sure this won't affect much in terms of offers paying on time. Maybe offer payouts levels though..

Hahaha!

They have two offices.. Toronto and New York City.. I'm sure this "spring cleaning" in the Fall time won't effect any of it's publishers much.

wfhnow · 09-29-2006, 11:27 PM

Maybe because of OCT 1 the fiscal year must cut back!!

chrislingle · 09-29-2006, 11:43 PM

my rep changed recently and when I asked was given the old no answer answer.

aeiouy · 09-30-2006, 12:09 AM

My rep changed recently too. Of course my old rep never responded to me. My new rep has been very helpful and tries to keep in touch.

I don't really like to hear about group firings like that.. hope it is not true.

cc23 · 09-30-2006, 12:42 AM

Yea i talk to my rep all the time through im and I im him today and no response.... I im him a few hours later.... no response... I thought it was odd b/c he usually replies immediately... today nothing... hopefully he did not receive the axe....

Jon · 09-30-2006, 01:00 AM

What are the names of your reps?

Andrew · 09-30-2006, 04:12 AM

Didn't they just add a bunch of employees?

Azoogle is changing sometimes account managers when affiliates moving up/down in monthly revenues regarding my opinion. It's more likely that a new affiliate not making much bucks (yet) will get a junior account manager and when an affiliate makes lots of money with them will get a senior account manager.

Sometimes also account managers promoting themselves when they do good business, I mean account managers also get a percentage of your leads. So when they promote themselves as a senior account manager for example that might mean also other affiliates they deal with on a daily basis. This could also influence you. I had with Azoogle so far 3 different account managers since I started with them about 1.5 years ago for different reasons!

I guess you're one of their top earner if you have the co-founder's phone numbers.

My personal guess is that Azoogle is growing and expanding so they need to get rid of people that aren't performing well enough.

roozbeh007 · 09-30-2006, 05:58 PM

I met with them back in Affiliate Summit in Vegas. I just signed up with them like 3 days ago, but no responde yet if i've been approved or not.

holyearth · 09-30-2006, 11:27 PM

It's true. What do you expect? CPA marketing is slowing down. CJ layed off not too long ago........

Rob_TID · 09-30-2006, 11:45 PM

Would that have been revealing Ringtone promotional methods and then cleaning up when everyone jumped on teh azoogle ringtones bandwagon?

holyearth · 09-30-2006, 11:49 PM

The NY office was opened around 10/05 ... back then the mobile vertical was producing insane results - there was no end in sight.

Anyhow, I believe the stated purpose of the NY
