Maybe we aren't reading the same threads here or something. But I'm seeing people being vitriolic and smart asses and talking about "hard working affiliates"
I AM a hard working affiliate. And I don't buy a fucking ad word. That isn't work. That isn't marketing.
And that is what I was addressing. All the idiots on here running down a man's business with their goddamn ignorance.
Whether or not Dirty D is going to pay ShoeHorn is up to them. I have no opinion on that. I just don't like seeing a person's business being beat up by a bunch of no-nothing people.
If I were ShoeHorn I'd take him up on that $100 PPS for a month offer and work my ass off to bankrupt Dirty D with all the sales I'd send. But again, that's between the two of them.

Robbie I love you, but I got a problem with your logic here.
anything that generates traffic is work. Just cause it isn't the work you and I are used to doesn't mean it isn't work. If it makes more or less than we can make, it doesn't mean it isn't work. Buying search terms is work, might not be your kind of work, but it's work.
example - say he buys terms that make him $100/month each. Well he would have to buy and track a LOT of terms to make a living doing that. It's investment of capital buying the terms and it's work and time monitoring them and putting the ad buys in.
Buying ad terms is work, sometimes they get lucky, sometimes they don't, just like us building galleries and banners and such. What you are saying is like saying that a garbage man doesn't work cause it's not as glamorous or take as much intelligence as a stock broker.
Next - the 100PPS isn't per sale, it was for 5 sales or $20PPS each reduced from $30PPS- Shoehorn wasn't clear about it - it fucked me up at the beginning of this thread too. Reread the beginning 2 pages.
I agree DirtyD has a right to restrict specific terms in his TOS. But if he didn't have it in there, pay it and change all deals from that point on. And THANK Shoehorn for informing him about it. A deals a deal, capitalism is based on that.
