My Reply to Zango's mass email about me.

This letter is legit. I received a similar email and voice mail from Zango a couple days ago. I have no desire to speak to them personally so they can try to explain to me how I am wrong and their software doesn't affect my traffic in anyway. I have been waiting for my attorney to look into this and I am going to let him speak with them, if they feel the need to talk to me again in the future.

First of all, I have shifted away from Zango and I am focusing instead on the sponsors in our industry who are using "adware" to generate sales. We all know how it works. The "Adware" pops up over the ads on our sites and our traffic is diverted to the "adware's advertisers". In some cases the "adware's advertiser" is an affiliate for the same company as you and he hijacks your sales. So my agenda is with the companies using the "adware". I can't change the world, but I will make as much noise in our industry as I can.

I have two agenda's here. To educate everyone who wants to promote "adware" on how it works, and how it affects us as affiliates. Also, to seperate the good sponsors from the bad who accept "adware" sales.

My response to the inaccuracies distributed around the web about me by ZangoCash:
This is 100% incorrect. I do not promote AFF. I did record a video of my ClickCash Cookie being overwritten by a zango advertiser's cookie. So apparently this was happening to AFF affiliates as well.

" Potential Conflict" lol. So it is a potential conflict for AFF to overwrite cookies of their affiliates ? But this happening, and still happening is " much ado about very little ", I guess for the people collecting the money, but that is not how the people having cookies overwritten feel anyway.


The more the "advertiser" makes buying traffic from the "traffic company", the more they can charge for said traffic. In this case, the more the "advertisers" make the more they will bid on those keywords. Regardless if Zangocash was making a CPA on the traffic or not, they had an incentive to enable their "advertisers" to make as much money as possible, which in turn would make them more in advertising rates going up. They absolutly benefited from this, even if it was not directly.

It is also my understanding from reading this part, they Zango just said AFF was the one running the campaign in which case AFF's cookies were overwritting their own affiliate's cookie. (we can touch more on this later).


Just a few articles on the internet referring to Zango as spyware:
http://www.governmentsecurity.org/fo...hp/t22516.html
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Spyware/?p=847 "These are Zango porn videos ? you watch them but get Zango spyware installed on your system."
http://www.castlecops.com/p672607-18..._ZoneLabs.html It seems more antivirus software detects Zango as spyware and Zango is sueing some of them because of this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zango this page use to call it spyware, but it looks like they have changed it recently... interesting.You can google "zango and spyware" and read all of the results for yourself.
Anyone is welcome to also google Myspace and Zango, I thought i read that they were sueing them, not sure if I said that or not, but I have made several referrences to how zango is being distributed on myspace. I also made referrences to how Warner Bros dropped zango because it's search assistant which was bundled with kid's games which were poping up porn sites to kids.
I have never said this " we can do anything we want on a user?s computer " please provide proof where I have ?

Nice spin there. My biggest assertion was that zango was allowing it's "advertisers" to overwrite other affiliates cookies. This was PROVEN as being true by Zango's own admission that it asked AFF to stop doing this.

Don't worry Zango, I won't be saying your name any more. Like I said I am mainly worried with the adult companies who are accepting traffic from "adware" which steals revenue and traffic from all of us here. If you wish to engage me then you will force me to give you a 110% of my full attention. It's your choice were we go from here.

Back to adult friend finder.

So for those of you who could not put 2 and 2 together. According to Zango, Adultfriendfinder was buying their own keywords and setting cookies over their affiliates, which i can't describe anyother way then stealling sales.

It can't be any more clear as day as that. How does this make you feel ?
