I don't have a dog in this race, but here are my 2 cents. I have been a ClickCash affiliate for over a year. Sent a couple thousand signups. I admit their support isn't good, but when I've needed an address change or something else, they've been good with responding.

Being one of the highest paying PPS sponsor for free signups, they're going to have loads of fraud. I'm sure they cancel a lot of accounts they deem fraudulent, and I'm sure many are false-positives. I've been cancelled by a program or two because of that, e-mailed them, and fixed the issue. Almost every program will switch affiliates sending poor members to revshare. AFF does it as well as many others. Since ClickCash doesn't have a revshare option, they have to cancel the account.

The idea that they actively dump affiliates to grab a couple thousand dollars is absurd. Maybe you fell into that false-positive area. It truly sucks, but it's just what we have to deal with when using PPS sponsors. But ClickCash and iFriends did not become the size they currently are by randomly dropping profitible affiliates for a couple thousand dollars. It is the dumbest conceivable business plan.

And while you can link to a Ripoff Report page by some angry customer who probably had his credit card swiped. Or a story of a webmaster getting a bounced check that was probably fixed. I don't think you can find them being sued by the FTC for allegedly ripping off a ton of people. I've never seen ClickCash listed as one of the top ten dot-cons by the government. There is this saying about stones and glass houses I've heard before.

I'll add that I've always liked MaxCash and thing the program has always been solid for webmasters. I was an affiliate years ago and was thinking of starting back up with them. The program is solid and I don't think it needs this kind of drama to attract business. I really hope this is just a Damian/Will beef and not something MaxCash is doing to build up sig views. The program is really above that.
