Who's making money with toolbars? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly_RJ · 07-02-2004, 11:25 AM

I'd like to know who's stealing my sign-ups.

All for a lousy 15 cents. Pitiful... try looking at the BIG picture for once.

i used to do about 300/500 toolbar signups daily.

NickB. · 07-02-2004, 11:27 AM

I totally agree, It's bad for all webmasters sending traffic

MattO · 07-02-2004, 11:28 AM

I don't anymore. I'd like to know which program is responsible for this shit, or who's behind it.

You should have been be able to make more out of that 404 traffic! Next to that... we should all work on "faith of surfers" and not push them into some traps

detoxed · 07-02-2004, 11:31 AM

Some toolbars steal signups, some paysites shave affiliates, cant blame all toolbars for something only some do

I've checked but I don't think so. I think I'll start adding links to Spy Sweeper from my sites anyway. Spyware has destroyed 2 of my computers and now even I am leery about making purchases and doing banking online. It's ridiculous.

I'm glad you stopped.

Actually, Webroot, (makers of SpySweeper), does have an affiliate program. If I remember, is a bit hard to find from their pages however.
