edatajob.com makes the comeback, and my paycheck

So after weeks of ranting and raving about how horrible a scam edatajob.com was, I wake up one morning and see that several hundred dollars had been deposited early in the morning into my online paypal account--from edatajob.com! As you can imagine I was extremely excited. So then I checked my email as I usually would and find a reply to one of many frantic threats to edatajob.com! This one was from John Lennard, CEO of edatajob.com. He apologized for the delay in responding to the emails, and blamed the situation on a server failure and promised it would not happen again. All of my sales were credited to me finally, and he explained that edatajob.com pays out on the 1st and 15th, sometimes more frequently in order to help affiliates who may be picking up pennies off the ground to get by. Although I finally had my paycheck I was still unsatisfied with this business...

We exchanged emails several times (on one occassion he happened across this blog and found that I had plastered it across the web and asked me to take it off now that the situation had been cleared up) and I urged him to look into his business practices. He agreed that the situation could have been handled better, and I have seen updates and changes on the member section of edatajob.com! After looking at the pros and cons of the whole situation, I have decided that marketing edatajob.com will continue to be in my best interest and in the best interest of other affiliate marketers. They maintain the highest commission payout in their league, they provide all the tools necessary to make money easily off of their own website as opposed to waiting for clickbank (who is still holding back my paychecks!), and I have to admire John Lennard for taking strong consideration of his affiliates' feedback after this disaster and managinig to come back through it all when I was pretty sure he had seen that final days of his online business venture!

If you aren't an edatajob.com affiliate, I would strongly urge you to become a member. You may already understand affiliate marketing, but buying the membership will pay itself back immediately!
