Mojo is a great great friend and business partner. Without him, I'd have never gotten involved with the internet so all of you 12clicks haters can blame him for my existance. He's extremely smart (there are very few times when he's not the smartest one in the room), sees the big picture, always sees several steps down the road, great business sense, calm demeanor, or to put it another way, the exact opposite of myself.
However, since opposites attract, we've done well together and in our almost 10 yr association, we have never had an argument. He's the one saying, "calm down, it means nothing" when I come into his office saying,"lets kill this mother fucker" He is the ying to my yang, the alligator shoes to my striped shirt, the frilly panties to my short skirt, the.........well, you get the idea.
But one thing that seems to have gripped the minds of the trolls I'd like to refute one more time. I'm not his employee:winkwink:
how could I be with a desk full of his naked pics?

I'll take this question out of turn since a hater was brave enough to post in this thread.:winkwink:

Why do cheaters always refer to themselves as "affiliates"
sending fraudulent traffic or traffic that is not allowed does not make you an affiliate, it makes you a cheater.
In the days when we were kings of adult pay per click, we were light years ahead of other programs when it came to fraud. Mojo actually flew to goto.com (now overture.com for you young ones) offices and gave them a talk on how we detected fraud. It was an eye opener for them and one of the reasons we were able to do big business with them.
Anyway, you'd have these guys beating programs left and right and along we came with our good looks and higher payouts. ALL the cheaters came over for the high payouts. We identified them and pointed their traffic at an identical looking page but with only PPS sponsors so as not to hurt our buyers. We then just let them run the counter up imagining they were getting paid. We saw it as our duty to clean up the industry since we had the ability.
Well, imagine the squealing that went on when these guys were outed as thieves. Here many of them were, pillars of their little online communities, outed for what they really were.

I made many many enemies for that and some of them you still see today (all under new names and swearing they never knew me before last week but badmouthing me all the same):winkwink:

Then you have people like frank who wanted to collect the highest rates in the industry but didn't want to follow the rules. His argument today is that we changed our rules all the time to create cheaters out of honest webmasters. Its a simple matter to disprove this lie by looking up the programs in the wayback machine and seeing that in the long life of these programs the terms changed maybe, one, twice tops.
We never gave less than a month's notice and the notice was always via email AND on the stats page.

but you know, the franks of the world are always right. There's so much money to be made chasing honest webmasters out of the system.:1orglaugh

Hah, good to see my question got your attention and you answered it before all the other ones (almost).

And it's Franck, not Frank.

oh sure.

I'd take over and say the following,"ok, I just fixed the problem for you" right after I killed their account.

Then there was the memorable confrontation with Shap back when we were both younger and a little quicker to anger. He was in one of our programs, maybe blindlinks and making good money. He starts just hammering me on the boards maybe for arguing with one of his friends, I honestly don't remember. Anyway, he's just relentless and I'm like, "WTF? I'm your meal ticket" I told my people to go over his account and make sure he wasn't breaking any rules. Sure enough, he was opening us in a new window. (strictly forbidden) So now I come back with some "fuck yous" of my own, post his page and post our terms and cancelled his account. It was ugly and I'm sure we both look back and wished we hadn't done it. We both went on to bigger and better things so no biggie.

That's how I got scammed for the first and only time in this business. I had just started and after a couple of months I had reached the minimum payout. Two months after that, I still hadn't received my check so I wrote an e-mail and got a bs reply saying that my address looked suspicious so they didn't e-mail me the check, but promissed to do it. A month after that I still hadn't received my check. So I e-mailed them again and 12clicks pretty much told me to stop sending traffic because I was "not worth the trouble", and that he was going to send me a check with the total I ever made with Mojo Search.

2 months after I talked to the scammer I still didn't have my checks and I posted on a couple major boards (including this one). 12clicks started some bs threads saying that I didn't knew my address and that the checks were returned to them or something.

I hope the newbies around here are reading this and NEVER send any traffic to this scammer. I've seen quite a lot of people complaining about not breaking any rules and never getting paid.

The worst part is that the minimum payout was around $25 or something, so he's a small time thief, nothing else.

He doesn't even deny it.

That looks small time but with the amount of people he did this to its not really small time anymore.

You think I don't know that?

The first time I posted on GFY about not getting paid by these scammers I got at least 15 people saying the exact same thing.

You and Mojo bent over backwards to help me out when I started, I"ll never forget that.

Ron is a pioneer, and I am glad to see him get his due.

Knee in the nuts from me later this year.
