Please let me know if you see anybody targeting Duke Dollars' sites with this scumware. I'll gladly have a look and bring the hammer down. This practice only hurts our company and our honest affiliates. Looking through our backend however, we have absolutely no signs of this practice targeting us.

You know MN's stance on this Will76, as does Missy, I've spent quite a bit of time in the past few months chasing and getting these guys shut down.
Good work on starting the most important threads I've seen for some time.. It may well be that some programs are not aware of this stuff, so I would be wary of judging them too quickly. Let them know and Im sure they will act

I think what I am saying here is hard to miss... Even in the thread title is ask YES or NO ? I am not pointing fingers at anyone. I am asking these companies to give us their officail stand on this. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you were drinking too hard and missed that, but I thought it was pretty black and white what I am asking here. I am also posting links of affiliate programs who have affiliates using spyware to let them know about it. I don't need to point fingers, their action or lack of action once notified of this, speaks louder then any accusation i could make.

In mainstream, many of these scums have been rewarded with awards and are claimed to be top affiliates. It makes me (and many others!) sick! In any affiliate program, top affiliates and those who start producing out of nowhere should always be monitored. A clean affiliate today can be a dirty affiliate tomorrow. With day targeting, they could use spyware sporadically to advertise. Unless you monitor those accounts regularly, they can be hard to catch. Most affiliates are legitimate and many know how to convert their traffic very well. But a brand new affiliate doesn't. There are many advertising agencies out there that will place ads for you. Unless you ask them WHERE and HOW your money will be spent, your ad could very well be shown in several adware programs without your knowledge. Then you get caught, and end up with a frozen account and lost commissions. And rightly so. Wasn't entirely your fault, but the sales were not entirely yours either. Since it's nearly impossible to know which sales were legit and which ones were not, you lose it all. It's OUR job to KNOW where our advertising comes from. Some have learned the hard way. Missie

If you do business with Zango or companies that even work with others that use scum ware, then you are guilty by association. It isn't like these big sponsors don't know about it. These new spam style companies contact the sponsors for better deals and to be sure the accounts get rolled over and not closed.
As I said, no worries.. the hammer is coming down.

Most do NOT understand how it works. If spyware didn't steal sales from others, including the sponsor's direct sales from type-ins, ppc, or natural SERPS, they wouldn't be top performers. We all lose, including sponsors. What sponsors need is a good reality check. When they see that THEY are getting ripped by their "top affiliates", they wake up! Missie

Spyware is a horrible thing and it does in fact affect our industry.
I won't name names, but I deal with a lot of companies and I once helped a company that was having issues with spyware. It turned out that Kazaa Lite was installing spyware and would change the affiliate link code. If anyone finds any problems with ICS properties, please feel free to let me know.

Will76 - I'll just re-iterate it here for good measure - Topbucks doesn't accept it - won't allow it and it's against our TOS.
If you or anyone else for that matter find ANYTHING FUNKY - I'm online all the time - you can contact me. |

cams.com webcams.com iwantu.com hey all you guys post here, and a lot. Is it ok with you that your name is being bid on, on some spyware site which is causing you and your affiliated to be fucked out of a lot of money. if you are an affiliate of these companies you need to email them and voice your concern. it is costing you money.

Makes me laugh when I see big promotions by these companies. I wonder how much spyscums will make at the expense of the honest affiliates.
Hummmm.... I'd be curious to know how many of those ads are run by the sponsors themselves directly stealing from their own affiliate base. Missie

come on big affiliate companies... why wont you reply, this issue is not going away. I am going to bump this thread every day and get more and more affiliates to question this and demand answers.... it is in your best interest to addresss it now, if you do it down the road when the pressure gets put on you, you wont be saving any face then. Come clean now and do the right thing.

"Affiliate further acknowledges and agrees that TOTEM has the right to immediately, and without notice, terminate your participation in the Program if TOTEM, in its sole and absolute discretion, conclude that Affiliate has engaged in any of the following: 6.1 The use any form of mass unsolicited electronic mailings, newsgroup postings, IRC postings, adware, spyware, malware marketing or any other form of "spamming" as a means of promoting Affiliate Web sites or for the purpose of directing or referring users to any web sites owned, operated or controlled by TOTEM. " I guess the bold part is what really matters... "has the right" and "in its sole and absolute discretion". It doesn't say "will terminate/freeze/suspend/cancel/whatever the account" regardless of who you are. You have to read these TOS very carefully I guess. There's an affiliate ID in that link, has he/she been reported to TotemCash? Maybe they just don't know? Benefit of the doubt? The link is still active. Missie

This thread makes me sad, about the industry I work in.
Even worse, the truth is, though, this thread will die when it becomes tolerable to all affiliates... and it will. Just like spam became tolerable.
