Calvinguy · 05-15-2005, 02:51 PM

I don't get any https

samsam · 05-15-2005, 02:59 PM

time for AFF reps to answer this one

Yahook · 05-15-2005, 03:02 PM

Sorry but I don't see any secure connections on their first page

samsam · 05-15-2005, 03:59 PM

you are saying you dont get the window message:

"You are about to view pages over a secure connection.

Any information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed by anyone else on the Web"

???????

Xenophage · 05-15-2005, 04:09 PM

Nope we dont get that. You prolly have a virus/spyware. What country are you browsing from ?

Pipecrew · 05-15-2005, 04:11 PM

I get a quick tiny popup in the bottom right of my screen then it disapears and i wonder "what the fuck" and kinda get nervous.. If i was a surfer, I would not be giving my credit card to this site.

I get that small popup also.

Xenophage · 05-15-2005, 04:24 PM

ohh no a pop up on a paysite say it aint so..

Anyway when your an affiliate you can disable pop ups if you like.

I took my popup blocker off. The average surfer is getting kind of scared of everything. The last thing they want to do is bring their infected computer to the neighborhood repair shop and porn is on their computer. The average surfer thinks that a popup is a virus if it disappears. Let it stay up so they know what it is...harmless

swedguy · 05-15-2005, 04:26 PM

No https for me.

With so many variations of pop ups and pop up blockers these days we just code to what will work the best and most often. Anyway Like I said if you dont liek them you dont have to have them

So send your traffic to the best converting and largest adult site on the planet and make fat casholla

tip: geo targeted earch results are off the hook.

I use geo targeted search ads

And AFF is one of my favorite sponsors. BTW, I saw the popup closing my browser, not offensive at all.

TheSenator · 05-15-2005, 04:43 PM

Hmmm.... I am cutting it close with pusing two sponsors....I like AFF for the consistenct and Sex Search for their weekly payout and easy conversions........Never put all your eggs in one basket.

Wonderful Answer, I would not care if it popped up 3 entrance consoles and two popups, its the fact that it is something very small that disapears in a second, reminds me when my computer gets infected with spyware or something. Fix that and I bet sales will go even higher.

I've sent you something like 40,000 free signups so far this year, Figured it would justify maybee someone looking into.

We like 40,000 free signups, Like I said we have tested and optimized the pops to produce the most revenue, for both us and our affiliates. he little pop up is a bit weird i agree but on the flip side this pop gets by a ton of the pop up blockers. So its a little give a little take.. and I believe this option does make the most money. But i do appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

there are lots of virus/rojans that differnt spyware stuff does not pick up. however i will pass on this info to the tech department to look at. As you can see otehrs are not seeing this so i am suspecting it has to do with your machine not our setup.

Makingcoin · 05-15-2005, 06:34 PM

No secure connection for me!

My google toolbar stop that popup!

Penthouse Tony · 05-15-2005, 06:35 PM

FYI everyone by default there is no pop on any affiliate link. If you choose to you can turn it on and popunder another one of our sites like ALT.com or Passion.com.

And if you do that you get credit on those sales as well

Hopefully soon you will be able to pop cams.com off of your aff sites as well adn get credit for it also

Lars, i dont see it on any of the other AFF covers, or on any other sites, pay sites, affiliate sites or anything else. i only see it on the AFF default page but not on covers like these:

http://cover5.adultfriendfinder.com

http://cover7.adultfriendfinder.com/

also its the same from my laptop and I dont share any files with my laptop and my main pc so its unlikely to be a virus or trojan. could it be anything to do with that i am connecting via AOL ?

pr0 · 05-16-2005, 05:24 AM

OFF THE HOOK

HOLLA

CASHOLA!
