If this issue really is that important to you put your thinking caps on and try to answer the question I asked above....
So far we have -
1. Take the Smokey approach and try to code your way out of it - dosnt really solve Lar's problem though.
2. Take legal action.
Any more?
I know its alien to most on this board, but lets try to be constructive rather than destructive for once.  |
I suggested already in this thread, and i guess you missed it... why doesn't AFF buy only their own keywords and do a pop under blank page, or no page at all. This way they protect their keywords and NOT have a "bizarre collision" with their affiliates.
I do believe AFF is trademarked. Gator was sued by a couple trademarked companies a few years back and Gator lost. I am sure AFF with their team of inhouse attornies could sue Zango (and other ""adware"" companies) and win. I bet they would even settle without it going far.
Another option is for them to stop doing it. DatingGold did this. It is not like this is even going to put a dent in AFF's traffic. I know AFF thinks it is going to hurt them if they stop but I would bet anything they lose more in sales from affiliates dropping them because they support this shit, then what they could possibly lose from no "adware" sales. This isn't like a pimpdog belief that even bad news makes you money. While some fools might signup to trey's sites because they think he is cool, I don't see AFF stating that they support adware generating them any new affiliates.
AFF is the best dating site, and Cams is in the top 5. They could run with this and blaze the trail for the rest of us. Not only would they be giving a little something back to the industry and affiliates that make them over 100 million a year in sales, but they would actualy make more money because who wouldn;t want to promote them if they took these companies on and helped protect all of us.
