10 good reasons NOT to use mediatickets

No offense Dre, but that's the UGLIEST banner ever!

Bump

That's enough to put you on my shitlist. What about my privacy asshole. It becomes harder every day to remove all spyware from my system.

Fuck you MediaTickets

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.

So you do install spyware right?

Can you answer my question MediaTickets?

edit... nm, yes he did.

Bump

Bump

Yes. Yes they do

Bump

Fuck Media Tickets. I get popped with multiple yes/no comment boxes. I've also had the damn thing autoinstall when I was on the submission page of a TGP. Besides this shady practice, You asshole "staff" spammed me everyday for 2 weeks via ICQ despite my countless requests to remove me from their list.

pepperjac (06:57 PM) :

pepperjac (07:00 PM) :
you can choose to throw it to users on exit traffic,doesn't even show up on your site
Sherms Shack (07:00 PM) :
it's alright. thanks though
pepperjac (07:00 PM) :
try it out for a few hours, we have realtime stats for you, and if you don't like, don't use it....but once you see how much money you will make, you won't stop.

Sherms Shack (07:01 PM) :

pepperjac (07:01 PM) :

Sherms Shack (07:02 PM) :

hey Doctor dre this one's for you

I've read the info on your site as well as the terms. From what I can tell, I can put up a link that says "Download Paris Hilton Getting Ass Fucked!!! Click "YES" When Asked!!!" and that would be acceptable. The software would install and just "sit" there.. Doing what, we don't know.. and based on the info from your site, you can do anything that strikes your fantasy. It pretty much says that in the terms. That's just one of the reasons why so many people "hate" your program.
You can go over in the WM Q&A section to read some of the "spam" posts. There's been claims of $0.50 a download The "0.15" a page view one I remember seeing and responded to a week or so ago.
I don't know if any of the claims are true or not. But your terms say that you "could' do those types of things.

What kind of information is being sold by Media Tickets? It must be valuable information if you can afford to pay affilates that much per surfer and still turn a profit from selling information.

I have no idea about selling or buying information.

Who buys this information? What kind of information is it?

What does Micket Tickets do for the surfer?

What makes the surfer want to have it installed?

I dont remember who but they started calling out somebody after he said he didnt wanna use them . They were like : You aiint got no traffic ...

Great post once again sherm.

The mediatickets autoinstaller infects your computer with spyware, including their company's PurityScan popup trojan which along with other bullshit it installs completely makes your surfing experience hell.

Bump

The mediatickets autoinstaller infects your computer with spyware!

Bump..

Nasty ass spyware

I like how they put it so nice on their website.

5) How can MediaTickets pay out so much money?

"The majority of money we have received from major investors is going as payouts to website owners. Upon establishing MediaTickets on the web, the companies that made these investments plan to use the MediaTickets technology to give web surfers the option of downloading user friendly services. For example, in the future a user could have the ability to receive an e-mail spam stopper or a game when they click "Yes" on their MediaTickets. Like most great business models MediaTickets creates a relationship between multiple parties with positives for everyone involved. Both website owners and their traffic are better off with MediaTickets than they would be without it. That simple reason is why MediaTickets is rapidly spreading on Internet sites across the world. It makes website owners money without charging their surfers anything, and leaves their surfers happier than they would be without MediaTickets. "

the google toolbar (with PR feature enabled) is spyware

Bump

We still need direct evidence of the affilate code hijacking.

We all know there is spyware that does that. But I have yet to see it directly linked to any one program/company.

In the near future I plan on running test by infecting a computer with spywares. I really want to see affilate URL hijacking for myself.

Bump

where is some proof? screen shots?

Bump

It is no doubt spyware or a trogan that aids spyware companies.

I dont condone hijacking any computer. In fact I hate it with a passion. I just dont see the link between affilate code hijacking and media tickets.

But you KNOW whats getting installed on your computer ... its not getting auto installed with another software or a misleading link

Bump

Both website owners and their traffic are better off with MediaTickets than they would be without it.

Surfers love us. Don't just take our word for it.

"Everytime I go online I have a exciting new toolbar waiting for me" -Surfer

"My old homepage was so boring.. thanks to media tickets I no longer have to worry about that" -surfer

"My bookmarkers can't get enough of the Active X popups"
-Webmaster

"Surfing the web use to be so lame. Now that I have media tickets surfing has became a unpredictable adventure!"
-Surfer

"The ladies are so impressed with the amount of popups I get.. thank you Media Tickets!"
-Surfer

I feel the same way - i just dont there is any link between MT and link hijacking - sure the spyware claims are correct but thats about it.

Bump

So he runs this gig?

Or is it just some lowlife spammer who wants to be big?
