I agree with you that it may be better to be cautious, and I do realize it does hurt affiliates quite often-- but zangocash is not nearly as bad as a lot of other programs that do direct cookie stuffing and realtime page modification of affiliate links and hijacking of SERPs, etc.

popups rob affiliates of money too, if you want to get technical-- they can overwrite a "legitimate" cookie, which means the legit site just lost their commissions. it's all a matter of degrees.

nothing is absolute; what one webmaster considers ethical another may not.

I do however believe that affiliates should be informed of the potential risks of using such a program and the fact that such programs may be hurting themselves and other webmasters.

as a side note, plenty of people and / or companies settle a lawsuit when they've done nothing wrong... if you're innocent but you think the odds may not be in your favor or you don't want to risk it, it's quite common to settle. plenty of people sued by the RIAA did nothing wrong, yet settled because if they would have lost they could have faced much stiffer penalties.

"spyware" and "adware" are not synonymous with "evil evil software." the alexa toolbar is spyware. as is the google toolbar. as is windows itself, actually.

opera was adware. ad-supported-software. if you want to get technical, google itself is adware-- it's software delivered on a web platform that's supported by ads. all of these things lie on a continuum.

zango isn't something I'd want on my PC, but it isn't nearly as bad as a lot of other things out there.zango does quite well with me. I use their videos on some of the media sites I own. I get an average of 1:5 click/install ratio for content syndication. For gateway installs I have about 1:25. It's nice income for me, about $3-4k/month. As long as you follow their rules and communicate well with your rep. you will get paid on time. I focus mainly on the model videos, they seem to do best for my demographics.

Good luck newbs I hope you can flourish in this

thanks-Janet
