it ain't me whining to anyone outside of this thread fyi. and the moral of the story is that YES - the same will happen to stiffycash too so take down your links before you lose too many sales!

Well - I have to commend Mikey for taking some action against PerfectGonzo. PerfectGonzo.com is not coming up....nor is AssTraffic.com - the link that was in the spam that I received. Mikey told me hat they would be disconnected immediately and that's exactly what has happened. He says that PG are migrating to another hosting co even as I'm typing this. Now that's what I call stepping up to the plate & taking care of fucking business :thumbsup

I only wish more companies had balls to do these kinds of things. It takes balls doesn't it? I mean....with these sponsor programs waving cash in your face and asking you to turn the other way while they spam the shit out of their programs.....it's gotta be a tough decision for some of these little mom-pop hosting companies. Good job Mikey :thumbsup

what about all the honest webmasters you just fucked tho? its not our fault perfectgonzo was sending spam but now all my links go nowhere.

Cool your heels cowboy - they'll be back in a few days :1orglaugh

Plus....don't thank me - thank your friends at PerfectGonzo. If they would have taken some action against the spammer when I forwarded the spam to them......you'd still be making some sales tonight :thumbsup

that is your own fault for not using a secure sponsor. cry to pg in panama. btw when their servers get lifted one day all of your data will be mixed right in with the spammers and spoofers.

I kinda agree, taking them down immediately sucks for those promoting them. At least give them a deadline... fucked up.

Dude, PerfectGonzo should take responsibility for your links going nowhere. They dropped the ball when I complained about spam. It's not my fault - it's theirs. All they had to do was reply and tell me that it was taken care of - I heard nothing and continued to get spam. Don't worry though - they'll be back in a day or two and you'll be back in business. :thumbsup

btw i will take the biz card webair gave me at ad-tech out of the garbage now in case we ever need more mirrors down the road. we are a mini-akamai :winkwink:

yeah the 62 yr old judge in washington or virginia will understand that LOL

yeah i know its ultimately their own fault but still, now i got 100's of links going nowhere losing sales by the minute. it just blows. all that complaints are gonna do anyhow is push these companies offshore where you can't do anything. they were fucking idiots for letting anyone mail anything other than adult targeted optin lists tho.

Taking them down immediately is the only way to do it! They fucked up - end of story!

can-spam compliance is not even an issue here because cowboys are not even caring and those that would maintain compliance are too easy a target.

on top of that issue is that the state laws are NOT gone due to can-spam and the state laws have trickyness regarding requirements that an individual request mail even though can-spam does not.

I goto say...

Today was a damn good day.

as pg and stiffycash jump from host to host their bandwidth will continue to decay btw...

when is odie going to flash us and say she is ready for your mailers ?

the solution is simple. consolidate your links to secure sponsors.

anytime you see a subtle "icq me i can take that traffic" from a sponsor rep just run the other way...

Evan, when is Nicole Lenz site gonna launch? I met her in person a few years back when she first got into Playboy. I couldn't hardly even look at her she was so beautiful http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/li...smiley-011.gif

when it is ready and deep enough. she is very particular about which pics we can use from the dozen shoots we have so far so we are only at about 600 pics so far. we should be at an acceptable depth soon. all the billing and design are squared away. i will batch you some retouching as well in the near future in bulk.

Sounds good - I can take care of any video editing needs that you may have with her site as well. I've got some vid editing samples (nice Playboy'ish type stuff) whenever your ready to check them out just let me know.

nah, let' see if it's gonna happen

i think alien is going to do the hd video so we are set. also we want to get redezra involved on some more shoots. the batch work is for all the fashion photographer friends of nicole's works primarily.

Still waitin for that to happen I am ready when you are:)

Hey - if any of you guys talk to those pussies at PerfectGonzo, be sure to tell'm to hit me up on ICQ. I'd like to have a few words with them :1orglaugh

They had a deadline...according to my records they were warned 2 weeks prior as well. Yesterdays complaints just added to the issue.

what for...I bet you got thousands of complains mails by now regarding PG spamming..

you make it sound like if you never heard about this, or its something new...ahh spammers :1orglaugh

What are you talking about? Perfectgonzo is up and converts like mad.

Do telemarkers phone you up and try to sell you porn? Do they phone kids and try to sell them porn at well? :helpme

How much of that spam comes to your house with girls sucking big black cock :1orglaugh

They were down for a couple of hours yesterday :thumbsup

Fuck stiffycash.
They redirect UK traffic to pages with spyware.
