First off Tempest, thank you for providing productive arguments. I understand your concerns and why you may not want to work with a program like ours. I will try my best to respond. However the claims in most of these threads are ridiculous.
a. In order to make that $2000 a day, I bet a lot of your affiliates are tricking the surfer into installing, or even just installing without the surfer getting a chance to say YES or NO.
Answer: In order to get an install without a yes or no we would have to give out an exe. We don?t'; provide this to affiliates. Overall we are extremely aggressive with policing our affiliates and have a full time support staff that deals with any problems affiliates have, or complaints we have from websites. We warn affiliates once and ban them if they repeat an offense.
b. Either you, your company, or your affiliates spam boards like these and post misleading information. One said it was 0.15 a page view and not an install.
Answer: We haven?t even seen a post claiming that people got 15 cents per page view. I don't see how that would be productive for the person saying it, cause it could be proved wrong so easily.
c. Your product is violating the surfer?s right to privacy. i.e. see a above.
Answer: We don?t violate privacy of users anymore than Google tool bar or monster.com. We don?t sell emails etc.
d. the Mediatickets name is already mud and you've made the choice to NOT say what the revenue model is. You get to reap the results. i.e. saying "you can rest assured you don't steal" just won't happen.
Answer: I understand that we have been torn down in these posts. But it should be apparent that people just blurt out these random things with no evidence. Showing that we switch homepages or that we have a toolbar are very basic things that would be easy to prove. That?s what makes some of these claims so ridiculous.
Bottom line, the product itself is what has brought all this about. The product itself is what brings out all the scamming, lying, shady and cheating affiliates. You can say you can't control your affiliate?s blah blah blah... It's the product.
Answer: We won't pull a ?We can?t control the affiliates argument.? But I don't believe we have to. We haven?t even heard a complaint about us switching homepages, or stealing traffic..or stealing sign ups or auto installing etc That is what is so ridiculous about the accusations. I have no idea what these guys are talking about. Toolbars?? stealing traffic and sign ups?? These people are angry about spam the most. I guess this is a form of revenge. The claims are clearly false and anybody who is on GFY should really be offended that people would lie about these things and try to tear down a business. Seriously going out of your way and completely lying is pretty ridiculous.
