There several things that haven't been posted about zango the similar systems even after all these drama threads. For example:
Assuming you have aff.program A taking over #1 bid for their keywords to protect their business. This translates that just a % of the popups will be for this advertiser. Any advertiser can jump and take over 2nd, 3rd etc position with a starting min bid of 1.5cents. Right now I can go and bid on AFF/cams.com/sexsearch.com etc keywords and popup my own ads. So bottom line, do they actually protect their keywords? No, they just hijack sales from their affiliates.

don't forget other sites too... The whole " protect our traffic " is a smoke screen. They are not just buying their keywords (domains names), they are buying several other sites domains as well. How are they protecting their traffic when I go to check my clickcash stats and i get a zango popup from cams.com It shows in the browser they are targeting clickcashdotcom. Or all the times someone goes to sexsearch and a cams or aff popup comes up.
It's bullshit, people have given them several ways they could stop and they keep coming up with excuses. Maybe they feel that AFF has peaked and on its ways down so they will resort to dirty traffic that will only hurt them 10x worse in the long run.
