I am sending traffic to everyone of your interracial sites, and with all the fresh new content and new designs I could not understand why there were no sales, and lo and behold I post a thread and find out that many others with identical concerns.

THEN I SEE ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT JOIN PAGES BEING HIJACKED FROM romainian hackers who corrupt spyware that steals joins and traffic, and that really makes one nervous
about whats really going on in this business.

I called ccbill and asked if someone could explain in laymans terms how join pages were actually hijacked and I was told that the weekend guys were aware of that problem but could not elaborate on it.

They suggested I call back on monday and speak to someone in the management department. So I will continue my quest to find out if there is a relationship between the hijacking of join pages and lack of sales when promoting other programs. and update you guys with what is relayed to me.

That's great... on the spyware tip, please do. I knew it was out there, but I didn't realize it was as prevalent as affecting 5% of the typical affiliate's sales until reading it the other day myself... it was one of those things that I hoped to get into and dissect with the new week. I'm curious to learn anything you might find on the subject, myself.

As far as our own program goes, it's no secret that we've had a rough patch here, but so far, it's only a handful of affiliates that have come to me expressing any issue. Of everyone complaining in this thread, the only person that I know to have spoken to on the matter away from these boards (and thus, actually able to now track, etc) is Oracle Porn.

If you're just looking to get validation or post or whatever, then maybe coming here is the right path.... but if you're actually looking to fix the problem, you have to remember that GFY is not our support forum... hit me up direct, and we'll begin to get things figured out for you.

Throughout the last week we've given the site new tours, more in line with our old ones, to hopefully remedy the thing... but if that, for some reason, doesn't work, we'll keep at it until we figure out what the problem may be. We have some very smart straight-shooters that work for us, and I don't think anyone that's taken the time to communicate to us would say anything different.

So if you're set on moving your traffic elsewhere, that's your call, certainly, but for one, I have great faith in the content producted by the company I work for... content that can still convert and rebill like no other... I know it's just a matter of getting the rough edges filed down now.

So hit me up, and let's get the problem figured out.
