For the record, here are some corrections:
Wired: He also said CyberQuest will likely attempt to reclaim any profits the affiliate gained from the use of the blogging strategy
Fact: I told the reporter after I investigate the matter further and speak with the affiliate, we might consider witholding funds if the webmaster shows no cooperation or was in serious violation of our terms and conditions. I have spoken to the affiliate and a full payment has been issued for all his earnings.
Wired: I wouldn't allow it," Saab said. "This kind of thing isn't helpful to our business. It makes us look bad.
Fact: I told the reporter I was not too familiar with blogs and I would not allow if it was overdone or was being done illegally, easily accessible to minors, violating our terms and conditions, ect and since Blogs were fairly new I needed to look into them more before we updated our terms and conditions. I also told him that we would not allow methods of marketing that would make us look bad, blogs or not.
Wired: Those terms of service say that Blogspot members must agree not to post content that, among other things, is "obscene." And Google also maintains in the terms of service that it has the right to shut down a member's account at any time and for any reason
Fact: According to the reporter, many people are using blogs to promote adult sites but not on such a widespread basis and alot more 'low key'. The bottom line is that this affiliate simply went overboard with his usage of blogs and was shut down BY GOOGLE/BLOGSPOT because of that.
