UGO & Shugashack
by Steve Gibson, Jan 04, 2001 4:21pm PSTNot to be outdone by CNET, UGO has confirmed in this report by Gamers.com (fresh and in your face!) and UGO.com that they are also trimming back their outgoing cash to affiliates. Why should you guys care? Because Shugashack is a UGO affiliate.
In what it says is a move to ensure profitability, UGO Networks is renegotiating the contracts it has with its many affiliate sites, which will result in either less money for the affiliates, or possible litigation due to breach of contract.Yes, we are taking a $ cut here, certainly in no danger of going under. With what UGO has done for Shack in particular probably means more of a profit than before in the near future. Sucks for the short term though.

Billy owns the site (so duh, he's in charge) but he's given me free reign to 'edit' stuff for anyone who posts on the site.

fyi - I edited that story because I thought Lowtax wrote it and edited it into Billy's blah as a joke (he was part of VE back then). Actually, I still think he did. :-)

The problem is that if no one buys anything from the ads, the ad companies won't HAVE ads anymore to put on their affiliates.
That's the whole problem.
That's why this shit is going down.
I don't even fucking see banner ads, I didn't realize until this afternoon that practically the only banner that shows up anymore is for Game Pen.

...Come correct Steve. UGO has the free hoes, don't they man? Or was it the promise of a lifetime supply of plastic cowboy hats that sold you?
