Effects of Zango on my Sales - GoFuckYourself.com

fuzzylogic · 06-24-2006, 01:20 PM

i have been paying my bills with clickcash.
i put up zango videos to increase my revenue. every vistor got zango 1st. if they kept going through my site(s) they ended up at ifriends. it's a tiered buisness model -- funnel the serious traffic through. zango made me $$ i got 1:6 average install ratio. great!

but then i noticed my clichcash signups dropped -- big time. wooops.. what did i do?

fearing that zango overwrote clickcash cookies i installed it. then i opened IE and visited my site. clickcash tracked me. thats good! but my site text was overwritten with hyperlinks. the word "free" led to a christian site about how to be come spiritually free. going back was disabled.

so my awesome text such as ".. check out my free webcam" with MY link below fundimenatally changed. with zango the word "free" became a new hyperlink. . . and so on with other key words.

guess what . . . the moment i removed zango i got a sale lol . . . and then i started this thread.

be careful where you use zango. it makes a webmaster money. . . but a what expense?

pornguy · 06-24-2006, 01:22 PM

I have never heard of zango, but I dont think that I would be using it.

what is zango ?

WiredGuy · 06-24-2006, 01:25 PM

Wow, that's a serious allegation, can you take a screenshot of the overwriting of links that Zango does or did you uninstall it already? I do quite a few zango installs myself but I wouldn't promote this if its taking over my links.

Zango and 180solutions install spyware and then steal the referral for programs.

MaddCaz · 06-24-2006, 01:38 PM

Zango is new to me too...

ridikuloz · 06-24-2006, 01:38 PM

yes zango cash is evil but I don't mind making money from it.

fuzzylogic · 06-24-2006, 01:42 PM

i uninstalled zango.
zango put a icon near my clock which is gone. however, it is still rewritting text on my site.

when i closed mediaplazza a new fullsized popup for some other referal program was displayed. this occured in IE

here is a screenshot of the rewritten text such as the word free, check and dating. after clicking one of those links a landing page is displayed. it is possible to go back from here, but not the next page if a surfer clicks through.

fuzzylogic · 06-24-2006, 01:44 PM

clicking the rewriter link "free" takes me here. it is possible to go back.

fuzzylogic · 06-24-2006, 01:45 PM

when i click through the landing page i am taken here. it is now not possible to go back.

fuzzylogic · 06-24-2006, 01:46 PM

when i go back i get this message.

fuzzylogic · 06-24-2006, 01:47 PM

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME ON IE. TO VERIFY/PROVE THIS MORE PPL WILL NEED TO DO TEST INSTALLS.

Love Sex · 06-24-2006, 02:09 PM

fuck a test install, its known already what they do... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=180+solutions

180 solution owns zango if your wondering.

I don't promote it, actually had it installed on my pc by some ASSHOLE who forced it on me. I noticed it made text into its own links, i've seen shit like that before.

I wouldn't promote that crap it is hurting all of us, especially you since you traffic will be affected directly. Once everyone has tool bars and spy ware like this on their PCs it will start putting a big dent in sales.

MaleGigolo · 06-24-2006, 11:40 PM

u need to contact alll the affilates they pushin. get them blacklisted. maybe those cunts will stop then.

UtahSaints · 06-24-2006, 11:47 PM

180 solutions, eh??? I ttook me 2 fucking days to get rid of that shit .... they had an exe file that would rename itself every so often... burn in hell motherfuckers.

I use their video program where surfers are prompted to install their software via DRM embedded within the videos. They know right up front about it. I didn't know about toolbar taking over links though, that's something I definitely oppose.

The majority of surfers use IE. But you should know this, unless you're a surfer yourself.

180 solutions has cost me way more time fixing relatives pc's than they could afford to pay me for. They're dicks.

Zango is evil, and there are several resources that prove it.

If you are promoting them you are slicing your own throat.
