Hi barcodes,

It was actually a mistake suspending your account, I got you and another affiliate confused with each other and suspended the wrong one. So please accept this as a public apology. I did manage to pin point the other affiliate I was looking for and his has been suspended. Yours has been completely re-instated with CCBill and NATS.
For the record the affiliate I have suspended has been done so for cybersquatting using the domain name kinkykicks.org.
I did receive an email back from him explaining that he was relying on Google traffic and was merely trying to make money for us both. His key words are basically all the key words associated with my domain. Ie "kinky kicks, kinkykicks, ball busting, kinkykicks.net, kinky kicks videos"
I did think long and hard about this decision, but ultimately I did not create my affiliate program to be used in this way. Cash 4 Kicks was created to reach a wider femdom audience. Not for someone to try and profit by piggy backing on the back of my hard work by simply creating another near identical domain.
Call me an asshole or whatever you want but I will not allow my affiliate program to be used in this way. I have a no cyber squatting clause in my TOS and have chosen to enforce it on this occasion.
I am aware of the risk of my content making it into Google top 10 spots instead. I will deal with this as it arises, but I will not compete against an affiliate using my site name in his main domain name.

Barcodes, I apologise once again for the mix up and inconvenience.
