trust me i know what is going on here, I was going off on a tangent with that post, possibly one that should have been for it's own thread.
Yes when AFF wins the bid for their keywords they will likely be taking traffic that would have either been from themselves or their affiliates. Like you said who else would be gettign credit for the sale when an aff domain is in someone's brower. Either the affiliate sending them or the company if it was from their ads or type in traffic. NOW If AFF does not win the bid on those keywords then sex search will take all the traffic and AFF and it's affiliates will make $0.00 money from that traffic.
So do you take the high road, let Sex Search take your traffic and don't play the adware game, or do you out bid them and well you know what you are doing to you know who when that happens....
"Almost" seems like extortion***, you have to bid against your comeptition for your name sake. Is AFF trademarked ???? ( ***i am not accusing anyone of extortion)
ONE SOLUTION WOULD BE FOR AFF TO BID ON ONLY THEIR KEYWORDS AND THEN NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THE SALES THEMSELF. Tell ZANGO you want to pop up a blank referral page, or a pop under blank page, or work out some programming where you are protecting your key words but you still allow your affiliates to make the sales.
