Good job Linkster! :thumbsup

Perhaps instead of you having to do all of the grunt work, you could post a tutorial explaining how site owners can check out their sites themselves (set-up, what to look for, test procedures, etc).

Then everyone could post their results.

Your efforts to help the community are appreciated...

ADG - I dont really mind as it gives me a nice distraction from rendering, updates etc - and Im afraid that the more I put out in the open about testing the harder the "targets" will encode their stuff to resist testing - this really started based on my own review of my raw logs that I do and an incredible drop over the last year in affiliate sales that I cant attribute to anything else (as long as Ive been doing this its easy to see when something is out of place as you know)

Had to take a little time off this morning to go pick out my new ride - finally decided to upgrade form my wrangler unlimited to one of the new wrangler unlimited saharas - what a neat little toy thats gonna be Monday :1orglaugh

OK - Tonights results so far:

Ive been checking over the sites within NSCash (the base sites so far) and havent found anything popping or replacing so far

Checked the TastyDollars sites for Ray - out of 8 sites I checked I got no pops or problems :thumbsup

Checked DawsonMiller and also nothing from zango

Rico - checked your three programs - heres what I saw:
On your PanchoDog program - on the affiliate main page before login - I got a popup from casfinancialgroup dot com
On the actual paysites I got nothing at all

On the WeConvert program I saw nothing unusual unless the popups for unitedpimps arent yours

On the SheDevilDollars - the only thing I saw - but again I figure its yours - was a pop for shedevilfilms on the felonyangel site

I went back and cleared cookies again and then started checking some free sites (TGPs and LLs)

I started at Worldsex after last nights test - clicked a banner that OkiDoki has on the first page leading to AFF just to see what would happen - since I had received the AFF pop on the links page last night - got an immediate popup for millionairemate with a different ref ID (P45417) - I dont believe that is Pierres' aff ID
then received a Fling popup over AFF with a ref ID of nyceguy

Did some other checking on the top 20 pornstar TGPs out there and didnt see anything

I have a few more programs to check and then Im swapping over to the next spyware program


One thing I did notice on a few paysites out there - a nice big "fuck spyware" and links to help the surfers out - Ive always been of the opinion that the more we can help the surfers out like this the better "loyalty" you build - and they tend to remember the paysites or freesites that helped them out - so congrats to the guys and gals taking this stance :thumbsup

thanks man for checking my domain out.

I'm going to jump in here and add one or a few if that's ok.

somethingsexyplanet.com targets just about every sextoy store, in this case they are targeting PECash with the keyword 'shop*sex+.sex-superstore.com'

NastyDollars - so far havent found anything added by Zango - still checking sites though

I showed Nastydollars an affilate ID where they were hijacking link codes.

Nastydollars tested the spyware themselves and terminated the account.

I can't remember the exact name of the spyware it was like a year ago.

Anyway out of all the sponsors I reported this too, nastydollars impressed me with how they handled it.

Looks like they are back at it again. They are using zango to take their OWN affiliate's traffic and direct it from one of their sites (AFF) and send it to another one of their sites (Millionairemate).

WOW, stealing from their own affiliates.

This makes what CJ.com is being sued over look like nothing. In that case CJ.com affiliates is sueing CJ for allowing some of their affiliates to use zango which is hurting the rest of their affiliates. In this case AFF, the company is using zango to target their own sites and affiliates, to circumvent having to pay these affiliates. Slam dunk case. wow.

and no matter what you say or do, there are still idiotic affiliates that will continue to promote those scum fucks.

its pathetic how ignorant most affiliates are. they deserve to get fucked over like this if they are going to ignore these facts

idiot case in point. SleazyDream.


Scotty not only keeps sending them traffic but he blows his buddy Lars.


IDIOT! IDIOT!


I feel like I should start sending them traffic just so I can sue them. All those people that said they pulled links to AFF, i don't know why they don't contact
http://www.cjclassaction.com/ and start one against AFF. It would be a SLAM DUNK case. I think the lawfirm does it for portion of the winnings too, so doesn't look like any out of pocket cost (not 100% sure).

A good thing
 
At least texasdreams is gone so this hunt for those sponsors stealing from their own affiliates can continue. Texasdreams banned at least one here for accusing AFF for theft by Zango. No proof he said! And supported by his buddy SleazyDream.
