way to go ... thefreakybeaver...
I applaud your honesty and willingness to discuss the issues.
This is a discussion thread - this is a discussion.
You made this thread a valuable source of information and it truly is revealing who's who ...
I believe there is a huge silent majority that is not speaking up because they do not want to bite the hand that feeds them - HUGE!
There are many people who have worked very hard to build a respectable quality online business that just keep getting screwed over by their suppliers.
For one of the biggest names in the industry (not mentioning names) ... I joined their affiliate program for their pay-site because they advertised on their website that "you keep your traffic for pop-ups, pop-unders and exit" etc ... etc..
When I tracked the affiliate ID in the first pop-up it wasn't mine.
I emailed their tech and they fixed it.
Then when the first pop-up popped another pop-up ...and the second pop-up had someone elses affilate ID I emailed them again ... and they fixed that one too ...
Then when the second pop-up went to the sign-up page ... it was someone elses affilate ID again ...
After the course of a months worth of constant emails ... and telling them about this "tech" problem of other peoples affiliate IDs showing up on the traffic I was sending them ... their reply was ... that's just the way it is in the industry ... get used to it.
Just one of many suppliers wasting HUNDREDS of hours of my time.
The supplier was one of the original founding members of ASACP.
These new VISA regulations I am not sure about yet.
But this has been an interesting thread for sure and you made it.
hats off to ...
thefreakybeaver ... for being willing to discuss the issues openly.
