How hard is "if the surfer comes from a mailout, we will close your account"?

This also shuts down those "second hand" mailers... hiring someone else to spam and redirect to your TGP / sites / blog / whatever won't work either.

How much fun is this?

If that happens, what will be the impact on programs' payout levels?

Again im not trying to bash you , just curious, its a pretty big step.

It just seems a bit strange that you would allow YOUR program to be displayed on sites that email but you wont allow the exact same thing to your affiliates.

So you promote your program thru email ( directly or indrectly ) , but dont allow other to promote your sites the same exact way .

Trust me nobody hates spam emails more than me , and its a programs choice how they want to be promoted, and you should be applauded for taking some steps at least , i just wonder if you have gone overkill.

Do you mean as an attack against the TGP / sites / blog owner?

Payouts go up? As mailer traffic retains like ASS :pimp

Hypothetical.

no i think he just means people that spam mail and use their own tgp as a banner advertiser , then filter the spam thru a few sites first.

Spam generates complaints.

You can try to disguise your promotion a million ways.

If we get a complaint and it's valid, you know the rest.

Just so I don't come off as sounding harsh.

You will be notified if your account has been flagged.

You will be given the chance to tell your side of the story.

:pimp

I think your missing my point , i'm not planning on spamming anything , i dont mail period.

Owning a forum isnt "spamming" its owning a forum . If you have a newsletter informing users of new items its not "spamming" its the same thing gfy does. If i click a thread posted in a gfy newsletter , i will likely at some point find your banner at the top of my page.

Infact in my example above i posted an even toned down version of what gfy does.

The banners wouldnt even be displayed..

I just thought it was sort of strange that you would choose to promote your own program in a way that you wouldnt allow your advertisers to.

I am not missing your point and I know exactly what you are saying.

It's simply a business decision.

If you like it or don't like it, that's fine.

50...........

why the need for approval to send members area traffic to pimproll?

Anybody that is US based needs to watch your ass and PimpRoll is just making a smart business decision.

this is great for affiliate competitors...they just mail your sites to a shitty email list with a competitor ID and...one out of the way. :)

Ok i wasn't sure .

Wtf?

From my understanding you couldnt use banners inside a members area , as members of ANY site are emailed newsletter about the site , this would go against the no-email policy i would think.

Excellent. You'll get my traffic then :)

Because anything could be going on in that password protected area.

Simply contact us and issue us a user pass for the area.

Good luck to you.

Ok that makes sense. I thought maybe members area traffic wasn't rebilling well for you or something

Not the case, www.downloadpass.com/index.html makes an excellent upsell :)

"Nastydollars accepts no email promotion OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER.
Any traffic from email will result in immediate account cancellation and forfeiture of all monies. "

Nice Work, I suppose writing a couple original sentences is difficult.

Quite possibly the dumbest thing I've read all day, and that's saying alot.

We're not selling you anything, rather informing you so you can make more $$.

I will add to the other thumbs ups. Good work Pimps.

Oh, just a thought.

If I had a forum that emails my membe...oh wait, I have better things to do. :pimp

dont be an ass, Im not doing this

Where to begin... you post something extremely stupid that is beneath even the worst cheating WM and then claim someone else is an ass for wishing you luck with your dumbass scheme? :1orglaugh

And you represent an affiliate program? Good god.

Chalk one up for NDC.

I was talking about an option, everyone who knows me, know what I think about scam, Im sorry, if you didnt get it...

It's the dumbest option ever. I got it alright -- And you "came up with it".

no, it isnt, I was scamed several times with methods I never dreamed about...

... that sponsor's name wouldn't happen to start with a capital "C" by any chance ??

Dress it up anyway you please. You underestimate PimpRoll. You can dress up a tranny all you want, it's still a tranny.

PimpRoll has a reputation when it comes to webmaster support. While Dave's announcement was direct and to the point, we always listen to our webmasters and resolve any conflicts of information. We'll always listen to a webmasters side of the story and take it from there.

You made a dumb post, now admit it.

You underestimate me, think whatever you want, its your life.

I think some people will actually try what you posted.

But I know it is not your intention.

lol... i hope they remember the url with my ref code in it :1orglaugh
