Do You Think A Sponsor Would Drop An Affiliate For Twitter Spamming? - GoFuckYourself.com

mikesinner · 10-29-2009, 10:18 PM

I mean if the traffic is being funneled through a blog or site before it gets to the tour/gallery do you think a sponsor is going to care?

Twitter spamming would be creating a new twitter account after getting banned for replay spam or follow spam.

Anytime i see the word "spam", i want to paraphrase a Slashdotter: "Spammers should be burned, and used as an alternative energy resource for third world countries."

Of course they should drop such affiliates.

1. porn spamers love to ruin anything of use on the internet.
2. there are other ways to make money besides spamming people of any age range.
3. in the end the program could end up in trouble cause I am sure as shit that a busted spamer would roll on a sponsor faster than a superball tossed down a hill.

Very good reason I terminate or outright refuse to even hear about spam via any form of communications from affiliates. Last thing I would need is someone holding onto some "be careful" email about spamming some social network.

It kinda looks like spamming has become the best use practice for twitter in regards to adult promotions...I see sponsors spamming, affiliates spamming, etc.

I setup a Groobybucks twitter account as a support and information source for affiliates rather than a "check out this chick bit.ly/lilurl" kinda feed.

I've seen spam, never heard of anyone making anything decent off twitter for the amount of time they put in.

Prove me wrong.

Tom_PM · 10-30-2009, 01:36 PM

Hard to know based only on that. If the landing page was hidden from the sponsor and they asked to see it, then there'd be problems IMHO. But thats not in the scenario.

However I'm not sure about the "twitter spamming" thing.. if I had an account and every post linked to a blog of mine.. thats not really "spamming" lol. If it's not violating twitters tos, then it's just linking to my blog from my twitter account.. so it's hard for me to wrap my head around.

Agent 488 · 10-30-2009, 01:38 PM

nope. most sponsors should have no problem with it. continue on.

Tom_PM · 10-30-2009, 01:39 PM

Let me be clearer though. I dont know twitters TOS about linking to an adult blog.

Spamming all boils down to complaints. If the sponsor is getting lots of complaints, they'll term you. If your spamming doesn't generate complaints, most will tolerate it.

if you need your traffic from twitter, something is going wrong.....

great post and bears repeating

I spam the absolute living shit out of twitter via 6 accounts and a bot. I have never had a single program TOS me for it. That includes adult and mainstream (including CJ and CB sponsors). There is no other use for twitter. I don't make a lot spamming twitter but it's certainly worth firing up that old PC for 12 hours or so every day.

Web marketer ordered to pay Facebook $711M damages
Thu Oct 29, 2009 11:50PM EDT

LOS ANGELES -

Facebook said Thursday a California court has awarded the social networking Web site $711 million in damages in an anti-spam case against Internet marketer Sanford Wallace.

Facebook sued Wallace for accessing users' accounts without their permission and sending phony posts and messages. The company said on its blog that in addition to the damage award, the San Jose, Calif., court referred Wallace to the U.S. Attorney's office for prosecution for criminal contempt of court ? meaning he could face jail time.

Wallace earned the monikers "Spam King" and "Spamford" as head of a company that sent as many as 30 million junk e-mails a day in the 1990s.

In May 2008, the online hangout MySpace won a $230 million judgment over junk messages sent to its members when a federal judge in Los Angeles ruled against Wallace and his partner, Walter Rines, in another case brought under the federal anti-spam law known as CAN-SPAM. In 2006, Wallace was fined $4 million after the Federal Trade Commission accused him of running an operation that infected computers with software that caused flurries of pop-up ads, known as "spyware."

"While we don't expect to receive the vast majority of the award, we hope that this will act as a continued deterrent against these criminals," said Sam O'Rourke, associate general counsel for Facebook, in a blog posting Thursday. "This is another important victory in our fight against spam."

There was no phone number listed for Wallace in Las Vegas, where he is believed to be living, according to the ruling.

The company said the judgment marks the second-largest anti-spam award ever. In November 2008, Facebook won an $873 million judgment against Adam Guerbuez and his business, Atlantis Blue Capital, who bombarded users with sexually explicit spam messages.

monetizing twitter is all about automation and shady tactic. there's money there, you just have to go pretty far into the dark side to make it happen for the most part. it canbe used quite well in conjunction with an existing community of users. keeping them socially active as a part of your site's community.

saying theres no money on twitter is like saying there's no money on criagslist or youtube.
