Use Mancheck AVS? They are stealing YOUR traffic and sales

Check this out:

http://www.ingayporn.com/whos-checking-mancheck.html

Seems that Mancheck sneaked a link on every avs entrance script to their own site, and of course it doesn't include you ref code.

They are aware of this issue.

I believe someone (Gleem?) posted about how misspelled words will draw clicks? I wonder how many free sales they get from this.

So with Mancheck, YOUR traffic, can join YOUR SITE and you wont get credited for it.

From InGayPorn,

Controversy stirs in the gay adult webmaster community over the recent revelation Mancheck has pulled a fast one with webmaster traffic. At an undetermined point in the past, Mancheck added a text link in the lower right hand corner of the script participating webmasters use to generate sign ups.

The link, reading ?Naked men and Gay pron Center?, is void of the participating webmaster?s referral ID, and delivers surfers to the Mancheck home page. It is blatantly obvious Mancheck?s intent with this link is to make sales without having to compensate the webmasters.

Assuming it does not violate Mancheck?s Terms of Service, any webmaster wishing to remove the link will have to modify the script on every one of their participating Mancheck web sites. For many webmasters, this represents days, even weeks, of work.

The controversy does not end with the realization Mancheck is siphoning off participating webmaster traffic. By adding this link to their script, Mancheck is using webmasters to bump up their Google page rank, and its working! Moreover, the language used in the link has raised some eyebrows.

The key word ?pron? is often used to circumvent filtering software and services attempting to block or monitor access to on-line ?porn? content. It is reasonable to assume that when someone does a search on Google for ?gay pron? the intent is, in most cases, to get around some form of filtered access to the Internet. It is open to everyone?s interpretation as to why Mancheck decided to use ?pron? in the text link. Whatever their goal, Mancheck used unsuspecting webmaster?s properties to achieve it.

As of this writing, Mancheck enjoys the number one spot on Google for key word searches ?gay pron?, ?gay pron bears ?, ?gay pron men?, ?free gay pron?, ?free gay pron videos?, ?free gay pron movies?, to name a few. And they hover in the top 5 for many other variations, such as free gay pron bears?.

THEY KNOW IT'S THERE - NOW WHY DON'T THEY FIX IT!!!

Looks like I will send you my uncut traffic instead of Mancheck...

Lots of other webmasters are switching sites to another AEN...

Mancheck is either the victim of their own greed or a declining AEN market imho.

It's a shame.

They did this deliberately and are now making mad cash from great rankings. Even if they did "fix" it why would you EVER deal with ANY sponsor that blatantly steals from you.

is there no ManCheck reps here? I am surprised this is going unaddressed.
