fucking idiots seem to be following me and asking me my take on this in threads not related to it so here's my respond.
1. - AFF did not pay me to make any statement for or against them.
2. - If I felt it necessary I could replace AFF in less than a day.
That being said - here's what I really think.
I do not believe it is right to tell someone else how to run their business. I'm getting annoyed at all the fucking idiots on here that tell me to dump AFF over this - I don't tell you morons how to run your business - why the fuck are you telling me how to run mine?
Am I happy about the zango situation - no - I'd be a fucking idiot if I was. I personally believe zango is an illegial scam operation that will eventually face legal problems for what they are doing and they are HURTING PEOPLE. That is wrong. I personally choose not to do business with zango on that reason.
That does not mean that cause another company I use uses them that it effects my realtionship with that company. My realtionship with AFF is based on how AFF treats me - directly. I really don't give a fuck what they do to others.
Same as friends - I keep a friend based on how they treat me - not other people. Only fucking high school idiots form clicks like that.
Does Zango effect my account - probally.
Is there anything I can do about it - we're looking into codes to stop zango and will support ANYONE that wants to do legal action against them or other things to stop them from stealing from me. And I truly believe they are stealing from me and other webmasters and that is wrong.
I havn't sceen HUGE drops in my sales with AFF over zango, but it's VERY hard to prove exactly what one's losses are in a fliud situation like zango - but that doesn't mean it hasn't been a gradual loss to them and it's very VERY possible I'm loosing thousands of dollars to them every month.
I concern myself with things I can controll. If my sales with AFF fall below a profitable level I'll drop AFF and try someone else - till then my relationship with them is solid and they are profitable for me to date.
I'm not going to tell AFF what to do about zango - it's their business.
A simple business fact is if zango steals too many sales affiliates will drop aff and promote someone else. If zango is taking 10% of AFF sales - well think about it - then it's 10% EASIER for a competator to offer a better deal. If zango is taking 20% - it's 20% easier for a competator to make a better deal - and so on till it's impossible not to use someone else.
I personally fell using zango is a slippery slop - it's alredy cost them reputation. Reality is the real losses will depend on how deep zango digs into webmsters pockets.
Zango is not a method I would use personally for finanical gain - Aff may have a point in trying to regain losses to them, but if they feel they have to use zango cause they are feeling losses - then affilaites are too.
I continue to use AFF mostly cause they are stuck in a bad situation on this circumstance. I know the owners (both of them) PERSONALLY and if KNOW if they could find a way to make this right they would - it's very difficult though and I understand that and I know they are troubled about this and stuck between a rock and a hard place in the whole thing. It does not make sense for them to allow zango to send traffic to their competators. So what are they suppoed to do? Sending to cams.com isn't a perfect solution but it's at least something....suing them takes months to years and all traffic is lost till the lawsuit ends.
a LOT of other companies are using zango and havn't had to endure what AFF has on this board over this- companies many of the people bashing AFF are currently using.
so - now are all you fucking trolls happy knowing what I think? I doubt it - you'll all probally continue to whine at me. uggggg
