last couple of days I have been examining some sponsors closely & examining the linking codes, the tours & join links, etc, as well as the exits, leaks etc & some programs I can say I was not too happy with what I found.
One particular program with standard ccbill linking code, upon clicking a FHG, yes that's right, a FHG, & the fucking FHG has a popup on ENTRY to a webcam page that does NOT have the refers ccbill id in it???? & that popup ends up in FRONT of the FHG.
I have also clicked through tours & see my ccbill id in the linking code throughout the tour UNTIL I arrive at the join form & now all of a sudden there is a DIFFERENT ccbill id.
I have also come across several where upon clicking ccbill linking code I arrive at tour & the ccbill link is no longer visible anywhere at all throughout the tour. Not in the browser window, no where at all.
Quite a few of these also have exits with plenty of xsells to AFF, Weg, CE & plenty of other programs. Personally, I'm going to eliminate promoting any program that does this. I don't care if they upsell in members area, but that's pretty shady to do it on the tour. I'd prefer that they xsell their own sites & give me some sort of credit for the traffic I sent.
I am also going to eliminate using any program that has their url on the content used to promote them.
I am also going to eliminate using any program that uses the sites domain as the domain for hosted promo material like FHG. Why would surfer click the link in FHG that is at
http://www.somepaysite.com/promo/fhg...01/gal_63.html when all he has to do is go to browser window & remove the promo/fhg/model_01/gal_63.html from the string & go straight to
www.somepaysite.com?
Bet your friggen arse that more than 2/3 of surfers do this!!! You can also count on the fact that the url on content generates several type ins. particularly on movies & videos. The surfers are typing in the url, not clicking the fucking links. wake the fuck up people.
I've even been to sponsor sites that use ccbill, but instead of the ccbill linking structure I am given some link code that is NOT ccbill, but instead something of the programs creation. Now, how do I know that this code is tracking properly? Chances are that it is not.
