Unless they stole a database or something I don't see anything wrong with it. It's business.

Not sure how this is stealing, its called offering a competitive advantage.
Unless they have a db of affiliates that someone acquired, this is normal business practice Dear person, I see your working with company xyz, here at company ABC, we can beat their prices.

Looks like business to me. Search results are public. Somewhere the email to the owner of the domain in the results is public. Doesn't sound like anything but a solid affiliate recruitment team at work to me.

I don't mind them matching deals. I just hate the approach where they act like I am an idiot by saying shit like "i just got out of a meeting with our director" or "not sure how long it will last, get in ASAP". Even if that stuff is true, it just sounds like cheesy used car salesman pitch.

Car dealers, electronic salesmen, advertising companies for pretty much every product out there and many other companies offer the "switch" for competitors customers/affiliates. It's quite normal practice. I wouldn't call it stealing.

Doing what you suggest only would lead to very poor results and somebody would be getting fired. Sales is a proactive business. The minute you stop being proactive is the minute you fail.

Not afraid to hustle, and if the affiliate makes more $$$$ what's the problem?

To all GFY'ers and even my haters (DarkJedi).... I'm pretty new to GFY, so first of all, thank you for all the free press / advertising!
My name is Jason, I am a new affiliate manager and media buyer with SexSearch / XXXMatch / ManPlay and we want your business! - Yes, not only will we match AFF's payout, we will beat it! - Yes, we buy ad space on the GFY board and have for years, refresh the top banner!  - Yes, we have flash tours but also basic HTML tours....however, flash out converts HTML better then 2-1! - Yes, the email DarkJedi so kindly shared with you is 100% true and to top it, I will even run a promo to the first 2 new affiliates that signup under my link. Send me 10 sales in your first pay period and SexSearch will send you an Free iPad 2! Thanks again to DarkJedi for brining this 'AFF match and beat' promo out in the open and onto GFY ;) |

The proper way to handle it would be to say you will match or beat any competitor's payout. Mentioning specific competition makes you look like a douche.
As interesting as the deal may be, sexsearch has never converted as well as most other dating sponsors for me. The only one that might convert even worse than sex search is dating gold.

Regarding "sales talk" maybe it's just me but I usually automatically think "I'm being lied to" as soon as I hear it. I think it's a little different when you are dealing with fellow marketers. There's an exception for if I highly respect the other party as a business and feel that everything they have told me is factual. Then I'll just think "What a good salesman/saleswoman this guy/gal is." |

Sexsearch was the only sponsor banning one of my accounts without giving any reason at all... in fact they have been the only sponsor banning one of my accounts.
$470k and several years later, AFF and a couple of other dating sponsors are getting that same network traffic and still rocking. BTW, see you all at the Madrid gathering next week. Probably will get some sexsearch affiliate manager there to explain me why was my account banned... not that I care much, but it's still funny
