Sad news : Wupload to close affiliate service

Postby oliver » Fri Nov 18, 2011 10:16 pm

In nine days, Wupload.com is going to close its affiliate services.

While this sad news means the file host will stop paying, at least, it is good to know that they will remain online as a non-paying file host, meaning all our links will NOT die, at least in the short term.

Wupload's spokesperson wrote, more precisely :

To Our Valued Friends and Affiliates,

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that as of November 27th, Wupload will officially be closing its affiliate program.

After an incredible period of growth in such a short period of time, we have had to make the tough decision to close our affiliate program as it is no longer financially viable for us to continue it.

Wupload’s file hosting service will remain active and technical support will still be provided as per usual, and our customer support system will remain active for any inquiries by members, whether free or paid.

We encourage all users and affiliates to continue to use Wupload to store and share their files, and we will remain one of the most reliable and secure storage solutions in the business.

We will honour all memberships that were already purchased by affiliates or by regular users.

Thanks to the loyalty and the hard work of all of our friends and affiliates, we were able to surpass our growth expectations in terms of traffic, but as anybody in the file hosting business can tell you, traffic does not always mean profitability.

Now, where does this leave you, the hardworking affiliate with unpaid earnings?

We are going to pay out every dollar owed to our affiliates. The affiliate program will close on November 27th, a Sunday, and the last payout will be November 30th, the following Wednesday.

Wupload could not have achieved the growth it did without the hard work, effort and enthusiasm that you all brought to our affiliate program, so I thank you and wish you all nothing but luck and good fortunes in your future endeavours.

Regards,
Willy

That leaves me with a new question, what file host should I chose in replacement, besides depositfiles, filesonic, and my backup solution uploaded.to... :o

WOW, WUpload's downfall was a rather quick wasn't it. Didn't last more than a year :shock:

That is really too bad, they looked very promising.

Oron has been around for a very long time so it should be kinda 'safe'. However I have no idea about how they deal with pay and copyright issues.

Oli, also note that (ex easy-share) crocko.com looks good and is very practical to use.

$$$ wasn't problem for sure, they could alter payout rates.

Problem is probably same as with Megaporn - paying users for copyright content upload. Filehost world is shaking.
