I mean they made her tell people for over a year now that everything was fabulous when in fact it was not.

I think if they are going to keep their program they have to revamp from the ground up. What they have now is nothing short of a hot mess that serious affiliates are smart enough to avoid.

Rumor is people aren’t getting paid, nor have they been for awhile. We know the old FHG links are all dead. But whoever wrote this letter was correct. When you asked Penthouse (Rhonda) about it, they flat out lied to your face and said no everything works great. They should have never lied. They should have been honest with us right from the start. A little bitching here and there over having to rebuild gallery links is a lot better than finding out you’ve been lied to for over a year. It’s a slap in the face a huge violation of our trust.

The sad truth is, Penthouse is a great brand and it could be great once again. But I don’t honestly know that their affiliate program will ever recover.

Would you be willing to trust a company, any company – again after being burned?

I apologize if my post was taken in that light. I was just attempting to help you go further with this article and possibly get an answer from someone at Penthouse to update this post with. Embarrassing a company owner over an issue like this one on Twitter can give surprisingly good results at times. There is also a private messaging feature where you can contact her without the contact appearing on her public Twitter feed. I would hope that Kelly is an honest person and is simply unaware of the problem, if she can rectify the issue I would like to see her do so, if she is a dishonest, unethical businesswoman it should be made public. I don’t think that is proven either way as of yet. I doubt she reads this site so it is possible that her underlings have simply hid the problem from her and she has no idea of what is going on in her affiliate program even after you published this article.

We waited 18 hours, still no response. We can’t make them respond. We asked our questions, those chose not to answer them so we had to go forward with the story.

A Google search brings up a personal Twitter account apparently maintained by Kelly herself. That is definitely her picture on the account and it has posts (evidently) made by her about the company. The address is @TheKellyHolland. If you have a Twitter account you can contact her and ask her what the hell is going on here. As a legitimate journalist and having done the research it would be more appropriate for you to do so rather than me attempt it not being a legitimate journalist/media reporter and probably not having all of the information about this that you do (I do not know her personally, if I did I might have been more willing to contact her on this matter myself).
