yea, for sure there are those who do not like it, and there are those who love it. The idea of the banner and therefore the contest name "third stage," the contest to have it removed is the thrid stage of the marketing concept. (but you dont seem to realize that yet).
1st stage: To maximize my banners awareness in a sea of other banners thus making my advertising much more profitable
2nd stage: To brand my name along with the program and make something that everyone can remember. and you can see by how many quote it, or even say it when walking past me at conventions etc goes to show it really does stick in your head.
3rd stage: purposely to wear out its welcome, become old if you will, and thus having a contest to get the people who SWORE up and down they would never promote me because of it, have the oppurtunity to take matters into their own hands, join DUKE DOLLARS and send traffic to have it removed. (all part of the contest). In keeping my word, and due to the fact that many guys did join up from the contest, I will keep my word and change the banner. It was win win for those who did not like it and ourselves: now we have an open dialouge with these new affiliates, and also found out that alot arent even webmasters, but trolls. Albeit, there were a decent amount who really have traffic. traffic of which now they and we are mutually benefiting from. So if you still think this was a dumb idea you clearly dont know me or the tricks i have up my sleave. NOTHING I do or say isnt thought out 15 moves ahead. So is it possible, just for a second, that you may have overlooked the "big picture" and just got caught up in the infantile fury of a little noise? or maybe i know what im doing...
food for thought-
Duke
You are an idiot. There are at least 50 people who fucking hate it for every one who likes it.

This banner is the reason I won't even take a look at your programs website, much less consider promoting it. (I don't care if you change it, your program is blacklisted with me indefinitely).

And yes, before you chime in with your "we gonna miss your 5 hits/day", the program I'm currently promoting gets 25-30 sales/day from me.

The thread continue to gets bumped to the top, and this is good news for Duke Dollars, masters of forum marketing, but if you stop for a second to read each post, it doesn't look that great does it?

Any chance I could get one of those Ipods? :)

If you think about it, that banner was probably about $40k to have up there for 2 years. Duke Dollars must be banking

Imagine how much more they would've been banking if they hadn't been pissing affiliates off.

I think the reason its been up for so long is because it performs better than any of their other banners.
The only people who wouldnt promote a program because of a banner on gfy are those with no traffic to begin with. If the programs good it will be promoted since its money in your pocket whether there banner is annoying or even if it injects cancer into your nut sack.

Have you ever seen them try with another banner up there? Maybe one without sound?

The point is it bothers a lot of ppl, but fortunately they are taking it down. Nonetheless, it has been the cause of hundreds of threds on gfy over the years, so maybe it did succeed.

I got caught like 5 times tonight while surfing GFY

Duke Dollars guys - take off the damn sound on mouseover, you are doing yourselves 0 favours, potential affiliates will only despise you !!
I have to ask this question because it needs to be asked... What is worse, a banner? or 5 prechecked cross sales below the submit button. It's amazing how fast this industry changes. I took down the banner, but I dont see anyone taking down their shady x sales.
Now, I have to ask, am I loosing affiliates now? I'm seeing a mass exodus of people leaving these programs because they dont want to be apart of the theft and fraud, and yet, you complain about a banner. This industry is often quoted as "shooting itself in the foot." I disagree... It's more like "it goes in for surgery on the foot and cuts off the healthy one." No disprespect, but in hindsite I think there were/are more pressing matters going on than a banner.... a banner for god sakes.
Duke
