Sure it is, just like SleazyDream is a common name for mental midgets. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/wink.gif

The underlying theme here is that this is a problem for advertisers and not paysites.
It's pretty clear that some think advertisers are not worth shit here and the only people to worry about are paysites..

The worry is that cc companies and paysites won't really care all that much about it because it doesn't really effect them financially as much since it doesn't change their bottom line one bit, it only really financially effects the advertisers and those paysites that actually GIVE A SHIT about their advertisers. It's been pretty much shown that in this thread that those people who only care about their own bottom line sick out here like a soar thumb.

Soar thumb? I rest my case.

who's stalking who?

Well, that's evident.

Fortunately what You said is bullshit.
A partnership program, ESPECIALLY a mainstream one relies heavy on newbies.

If newbies are fucked - all is fucked.

why do you think so many go under? duuuuu

It seems like a social engineering problem, not a 'defect' of the code but a feature. So you are exploiting a perceived benefit that is actually a weakness.

So the only way that any processor would know is if they were suspicious about a large amount of traffic from a specific affiliate, and decided to investigate. That would be like shooting themselves in the foot financially though.


Am I right? Damn, Fly, that's two I have to thank you for. I need to get back into programming.

Just kidding. Maybe.

According to the ibill documentation snippet posted about 70 posts or so back, it looks like you could set up the following scenario:-

[On a gallery page]
Have a link to "Gallery 2" that goes to http://www.gallerysite.com/gallery2.html

gallery2.html is a 0 second meta-refresh redirect page that sends the surfer through an ibill-formatted link where the landing page is http://www.gallerysite.com/gallery2b.html

The surfer then sees the pictures at gallery2b.html and their browser contains a cookie for whatever sponsor program you just piped them via.

Make a visitor view 10 galleries, and you've just sent them on their way with 10 cookies that will live for the next 24 hours...

At least, the above is what I understood *could* be possible from ibill's own documentation!

But I could be wrong (I'm sure you'll tell me in a heartbeat!)

Guys it's not so simplistic or so easy. Once again, I can't speak for IBill but I'd bet they have safeguards in place to cover just this type of situation http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/smile.gif
