The thing that's I find most bewildering about this entire debacle is that the power is in YOUR HANDS as an affiliate to do as you wish.
Let me highlight:
OK, so you're promoting bangbus, but it's watermarked as bangbros.com.
You've got three options here.
#1 - You decide to drop the program
OK, that's your choice. It's probably not the smartest thing to do, if they convert, but this is a choice you have. Noone is forcing you to promote them.
#2 - Promote the site in a fashion ALA CCBill
Get a redirect link setup, where the cookie is set before, on their domain, so if someone types-in, your cookie is there.
Yes, this may skew your stats, but that's why you have campaigns. More data: more results.
#3 - You embed an image in your page that sets a cookie for bangbros.com
That way, if the surfer types in bangbros.com - your cookie is magically there.
There's no secret to this - I *always* did this when promoting galleries to prevent leaks
So in a simple situation, you've got multiple options, and multiple ways to solve the problem.
Summary:
- Sometimes, you have to look to yourself for answers.
- You're in the game to make money via promoting sites.
- Sites are in the game to make money via promoting their brand
Be proactive. Speak to your sponsor, fix the problem, and chuckle at the next person who complains about the issue on the board, because you know you have the edge over them in business because you overcame the similar problem yourself..
Don't be a douche and spew crap over a board.
