- most affiliates don't seem to be losing signups to zango
I may be wrong but that's what i've witnessed so far. My feeling is that zango has the power to be a huge issue but as of right now is not a major problem for tgps and paysites. My guess is when it comes to spyware there are some other nasty programs (maybe midsize) that are doing so much more damage and are flying under the radar and not being discovered.

you are looking at the issue backwards.
go to zango
create an account to buy clicks
for keywords - enter the URL's of all of your sites
THEN.... once they are approved, you will see how many people are bidding on your site URL's ... which means everytime someone visits YOURSITE.COM on a computer with zango installed, it pops windows over your sites.
thats ONE way you are getting screwed.
that doesn't take into account bidding on keywords like "twistys" or whatever and how ads are triggered on other pages of people TRYING to send you traffic because those keywords are shown on the page, in links, text etc.
thinking it doesn't affect you or TGP's or paysites is silly. Read Marc's post to get an idea of how much traffic you are losing everyday.
