Well, today files host Content-Cooperation (aka Filemonster) opened free registration. A month ago they closed their affiliate program for new partners. Now, it’s open:

Well, this week my stat page at Oron was already opened. As I see, they counted there all info: some premiums and refs. So, what about your stats?

I’ve found today such list of bad files hosts:

4shared.com – Deleting files with copyright and waits in line at the FBI.
Crocko.com – Called to testify in the next 90 days and it will open doors. Pro FBI.
EnterUpload.com – Down.
FileJungle.com – Affiliate program was closed. Deleting multiple files. Banning Accounts. Locked in the U.S.

Well, main files hosts close their affiliate program, block USA IPs, delete files… Why? It seems, that their owner is scared by the MU case. But, is it really so serious? Yesterday, I’ve read some thinkings from the owner of a big file host, which is not going to stop working with affiliates. And, he thinks that owners of files host, which have already stopped affiliate programs, simply decided under the guise of a MU situation to deceive their partners and stole nonpaid money. Little later, they will open new file sharing services with other names and start to work again. Of course, it can be quite profitable for him. Because of:
– many people already have their premiums for quite long period (1 year and more). So, the file host premium level payment are quite lower when it was at start;
– top files hosts need to wait to see what will be with MU owners and what SOPA/PIPA (DMCA and others) will do with sharing services.

Well, bad news for posters and other users. Here http:/fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/justice-department-charges-leaders-of-megaupload-with-widespread-online-copyright-infringement you may read about MegaUpload closing. Below the full text of the post:

“WASHINGTON—Seven individuals and two corporations have been charged in the United States with running an international organized criminal enterprise allegedly responsible for massive worldwide online piracy of numerous types of copyrighted works through Megaupload.com and other related sites, generating more than $175 million in criminal proceeds and causing more than half a billion dollars in harm to copyright owners, the U.S. Justice Department and FBI announced today.

Shit, shit, shit! I was wrong when I decided that the Wupload probation term was over! But, my main rule for new file hosts was affirmed one more time. If you remember, I’ve mentioned here (article about Wupload), that I prefer to work with files hosts which work stably not less than 6 months. Wupload started its testing in May. It is November now. Almost half a year. On the 18th of November, all Wupload affiliates received next letter from service:

As you see from the text, they are going to close their affiliate program from the 28th of November, 2011. I hope, they will make the last payouts, as they promised in this letter.

Some of people asked me about forums which permit Filepost links.

Well, as you remember I have for selling the forum base sorted by Alexa rank. This week, I updated this base. So, now the September update is actual. What is inside? Some new forums were added here, some were thrown out of the forum list.
Now forum list for posting consists of 444 sites which have Alexa rank less 1000000. 43 have a rank between 0 and 10000. 169 are between 10000 and 100000 on Alexa. Other are from 100000 to 1000000. So, if you need a base for posting, so you can get it. All conditions were mentioned on this page Sorted XXX forum base (clickable).

Last my post was dedicated to new files host Wupload, which could good competitor to Oron and Filesonic. After that post I received some messages from my blog subscribers and referrals with their suggestions about other ways for good change instead of Oron. Why Oron? If you’re working with Oron, than you may see that the last 2 months’ earnings from this file host became lower in 2-3 times. Last weeks many posters, which had in average 3-4 premium sales about 3 months ago, didn’t have any sales during some days.

Hi, people!
As you may see, I prefer not to describe different affiliate programs from the beginning of their birth. Why? It was a useful experience for me, when I tried to work with new file hosts because of their interesting promo rates and after a couple of months, they simply decreased their rates to bottom or even they closed without making last payouts. After that, I always wait for some time to check them for stable work, I wait for payout proofs, I simply wait usually for half a year to start my earning on new files hosts.

Do you remember that Filesonic’s already worked almost 1 year? As for me, I’ve forgotten about that fact. And five minutes ago I received a letter with the announce of this Filesonic anniversary. They prepare new great promo which will be dedicated to this date. So, here is a letter from files host Filesonic:

Yesterday Filesonic announced new tariff plan E. They called it Half & Half. It’s quite a strange name as for me. But, the main is not the name, the main is what is inside of this Filesonic tariff plan.
If you’ve already worked with filesonic when it was Sharingmatrix, so you must remember why posters and webmasters chose Sharingmatrix for earning on files sharing two years ago. If not, I’ll try to explain. In 2009, Sharingmatrix offered only one tariff plan, but in that plan they paid for all downloads and premium sales. People liked it, because other files hosts paid only for downloads or only for premium sales without any mix.

It’s happened again! This week Filesonic announced start of new promo with incentive bonus. New April promo from Filesonic was called Fiesta.

In the prologue to the announcement of Fiesta the administration of files host gave intriguing promises to announce some more stunning news in the nearest future. But at the moment, Fiesta from Filesonic is quite stunning news for all affiliates.

Depositfiles, perhaps, the first file sharing service, with whom I started earning and on which I earned my first money on files sharing. Earlier, 3 years ago, the conditions for the work, which were suggested by this files host, were fairly attractive and interesting for posters, don’t forget about $5 bonus for newbie posters. But the last couple of years, in my opinion, Depositfiles stopped in its development.

This week Filesonic made new updates to their affiliates moneymaking program. There were 2 updates:
1) Now you can earn $35 per 1000 downloads!
2) You may vary the limit of files for free download.
