(he said does not equal proof and i don't want a slander suit from some spyware supporting assholes). So our only option is to post the sites who have affiliates doing this, *their* actions or inactions will speak louder then any accusations i would make.
And we need to get united and active on this. EVERYONE of you, this is worse then acacia, worse then some of the shit we have had to face in the past. We are all losing money because of this, are you with me ?  |
Bumping this for you.
When we opened the paysite Eva and I sat down and did a budget. We put in all the costs and obviously we could save on content.
We decided to pay out to affiliates as much as we could afford in the belief that the more we pay them the more they send traffic.
Allowing affiliates to use this system rewards the lazy affiliates, penalizes the hard working ones and leads to less traffic, installing your own cookie is straight stealing. Both will rob the good affiliates, reward the bad ones and eventually lead to less traffic.
My question is why do sponsors allow it, are they such bad businessmen that they do not see the dangers to their business or just struggling to make ends meet?
