Disclaimer: I'm not accusing Xpromote of doing this on purpose or being cheaters. I'm only using them as an example. I posted about the apparent problem I noticed with them a week ago:
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=985066 and do not believe they even know of it.
They are by no means the only ones doing this.
1. Sign up at
http://www.xpromote.com
2. Sign up to promote "Bushy Females"
3. The link code you get will be like:
Code:
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=29524:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(you must change XXXXXXXXXX to your verotel code)
---
If you'd rather not sign up and want to see it in action perhaps use the link from Rabbit's Reviews:
http://www.rabbitsreviews.com/bushyfemales-5923.html
Then click "Join BushyFemales" from that page and proceed below.
4. Now once the surfer clicks that code it directs them to Verotel, which then directs them to:
http://bushyfemales.com/tour.html
5. Click "JOIN NOW". Then Click "INSTANT ACCESS".
6. Note that it's Verotel.
7. Now go to
http://bushyfemales.com (type it in manually)
8. Click "ENTER HERE". (Notice you are at
http://bushyfemales.com/main.html and NOT
http://bushyfemales.com/tour.html as was default with your affiliate code). Now click "JOIN NOW" and then "INSTANT ACCESS"
9. Notice you are likely at a CCBILL Join form.
Ponder whether you get credit for a customer doing this. It's my understanding that you don't. In this case if they bookmarked the page "http://bushyfemales.com/tour.html" you might still get credit, but not if they say type-in "http://bushyfemales.com/".
This is correct to the best of my understanding. There is a possibility that I am incorrect about something. Form your own conclusions.
