ARS is obviously here for the long haul. Where was minusonebrain a couple of years ago? No one even heard of him back then. How many times does this little shitsqueak have to shoot himself in the foot before he learns how to aim?

Its because their cost per sale is LOWER than if they did it all themselves.

So you admit that you steal traffic from your affiliates?

And yeah, I am going to knock every dirty program out there. There are plenty of them, so I am sure I'll be quite busy.

But not every program steals traffic from its affiliates.

It says this in your article:

"There are also other links that take users to areas like the Terms of Service or the 2257 compliance statement and have no clickable path back to the tour without use of the browser?s back button."

Did you even click those links? They all open in a new window for me. You don't even need to use the back button because your tour is still open.:disgust

Another fine investigation.

(1:23:19 AM) Keith: You have traffic leaks on several of your tours.
(1:23:37 AM) Keith: What is this suspended account notice I have here?
(1:23:41 AM) ARS - Bryan: you said trafflic leaks on several of our FHGs
(1:23:49 AM) ARS - Bryan: traffic*
(1:23:50 AM) Keith: FHGs.
(1:23:57 AM) Keith: Yes, on the FHGs.
(1:24:01 AM) ARS - Bryan: dude you're an asshole. everyone knows it
(1:24:12 AM) ARS - Bryan: there are no traffic leaks on our FHGs. sorry
(1:24:22 AM) Keith: http://www.adultrevenueservice.com/r...1&b=PSC&c=free
(1:24:31 AM) Keith: Its at the bottom of the page.
(1:24:38 AM) Keith: Several links.
(1:24:51 AM) Keith: That is one of your sites, isnt it?
(1:27:23 AM) Keith: Asshole I might be, because I don't tolerate people's bullshit. I didn't take it out of John and I wont take it out of anyone else.
(1:29:49 AM) ARS - Bryan: what bullshit?
(1:29:59 AM) ARS - Bryan: you really are on medication, aren't you?
(1:30:03 AM) Keith: Traffic leaks are bullshit.
(1:30:19 AM) Keith: TMM's security breach was also bullshit.
(1:30:22 AM) ARS - Bryan: lol, if you had a problem with any of our pages you could have contacted us first
(1:30:38 AM) ARS - Bryan: ARS is one of the oldest adult affiliate programs out there. Better get your mind right, buddy. We don't shave
(1:31:06 AM) Keith: No, I said you have traffic leaks.
(1:31:11 AM) Keith: Not that you shaved.
(1:31:18 AM) Keith: Similar to shaving, but not exactly the same.
(1:31:22 AM) ARS - Bryan: our customer service page that is on all of our tours is a traffic leak?
(1:31:28 AM) ARS - Bryan: makes sense!
(1:31:42 AM) ARS - Bryan: and now our FHGs have traffic leaks? a 2257 page is a traffic leak?
(1:31:46 AM) ARS - Bryan: hmm, ok man
(1:32:05 AM) Keith: Yeah, it is. Because if a surfer clicks there and finds your "Our Sites" page, its another way for them to join whereby the affiliate is not getting credited.
(1:32:43 AM) Keith: That is the definition of a traffic leak. Its a textbook example.
(1:33:03 AM) ARS - Bryan: it'll be taken care of in the morning. i'll either remove the "our sites" from our CUSTOMER SERVICE area or i'll pass the ref code
(1:33:11 AM) ARS - Bryan: now where are the traffic leaks on our FHGs?
(1:33:16 AM) ARS - Bryan: you won't find any
(1:33:33 AM) ARS - Bryan: was it really worth starting a bullshit thread on GFY, making yourself look worse?
(1:34:04 AM) ARS - Bryan: I tried to give you a chance and helped you out the best I could. But you had to go and act like a jerk instead of going straight to ARS and asking us to fix the problem
(1:34:55 AM) Keith: After you fix the issue, there wont be one. Right now, there is one. And there was at the time I started the thread and at the time I put the report up on KAT.
(1:35:28 AM) ARS - Bryan: lol
(1:35:34 AM) ARS - Bryan: you have some nerve, man
(1:35:43 AM) Keith: And the other links are still leaks, but less severe ones.
(1:35:53 AM) ARS - Bryan: WHAT LINKS?
(1:35:58 AM) ARS - Bryan: our FHGs have NO so called "leaks"
(1:36:05 AM) Keith: Privacy Policy, 2257, etc.
(1:36:07 AM) ARS - Bryan: you're crazy. there are NO leaks on our FHGs
(1:36:16 AM) ARS - Bryan: FHGs have no leaks and thats what your post was all about
(1:36:17 AM) ARS - Bryan: you lied
(1:36:18 AM) Keith: http://www.adultrevenueservice.com/r...1&b=PSC&c=free
(1:36:22 AM) Keith: Is that your site?
(1:36:29 AM) ARS - Bryan: no man, here you go, dodging the issue!!!!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
(1:36:30 AM) Keith: Is that one of your FHGs?
(1:36:44 AM) ARS - Bryan: uhhhhhhh
(1:36:49 AM) ARS - Bryan: that's called a BYOT
(1:37:21 AM) Keith: Its pretty much the same damn thing as an FHG, isnt it?
(1:37:25 AM) ARS - Bryan: actually no, that looks like a gallery for a BYOT
(1:37:28 AM) ARS - Bryan: which is webmaster-made
(1:37:54 AM) Keith: Webmaster made? I didn't make that.
(1:37:57 AM) ARS - Bryan: dude, you have no case here. you made an ass of yourself
(1:38:05 AM) ARS - Bryan: no one said you made that, moron
(1:38:21 AM) Keith: Well, I am the webmaster, you said its webmaster made.
(1:38:28 AM) ARS - Bryan: uh
(1:38:37 AM) ARS - Bryan: man, i can see it no use even trying to talk to you
(1:38:39 AM) Keith: I'm also the affiliate, too.
(1:40:21 AM) Keith: So, are you going to remove the suspension from my account, since you admit there is an issue, or are you going to take the position that I am this, that and the other?
(1:41:34 AM) Keith: Because let me tell you something, I am tired of blogging stuff and then having to pull it down because the sponsor is a dick about one or more things. Takes a while to crop all of the images, lay out the posts, etc. Its a waste of time if I just pull it down a couple of days later.
(1:41:38 AM) ARS - Bryan: I'd actually like to see a public apology on the board from you first, then I will do the same. I want you to also take down the offending article on your site and then I will remove your suspension
(1:42:12 AM) ARS - Bryan: I understand that blogging is hard work and I don't want you to have to remove everything and start all over. I want you to come out and apologize and I will do the same and then everything will be okay
(1:42:38 AM) ARS - Bryan: however I'd like you to take care of this in the morning as it's not 2:43am my time and I need to get to bed
(1:44:26 AM) Keith: Well, that I will not be doing. First off, I have nothing to apologize for. The issue did exist, even if I called it an FHG instead of a BYOT site. Because its factual, the post is not coming down, either. I will apologize for the error in calling it a FHG instead of a BYOT though.
(1:44:51 AM) Keith: We can chat about it in the morning, if needed.
(1:46:40 AM) ARS - Bryan: ok, then I guess we can squash the beef
(1:46:54 AM) ARS - Bryan: you NEED to apologize on the boards
(1:47:30 AM) ARS - Bryan: you posted a ridiculous thread and tried to start bullshit with a good, honest, reputable sponsor who's been around for a very, very long time
(1:47:54 AM) ARS - Bryan: why bite the hand the feeds you? I guess no good deed goes unpunished
(1:49:22 AM) Keith: I offered to correct the incorrect statement.
(1:49:39 AM) ARS - Bryan: I guess we'll just have to talk in the morning
(1:49:46 AM) Keith: OK, very well.
(2:07:33 AM) Keith: Hey, are you still on? Someone sent me something I'd like to hear your take on. You mentioned shaving, it looks like you all do that, too.
