Business Question.. Is harvesting e mails on a tour a traffic leak? - GoFuckYourself.com

Do you consider it a traffic leak if a paysite has a "join our mailing list" box on the page?

Yes or no?

Please be honest

sandman! · 04-17-2008, 01:39 PM

not really not a huge issue

BradM · 04-17-2008, 01:40 PM

100% yes. Only if you don't tack the affiliate ID on to any mailings you do.

If you do, then it's an upsell or a SAVE.

Depends on what happens after the user presses the submit button.

And to answer they pay rev share not PPS

YES. Using any traffic sent by the affiliate without giving the affiliate credit is THEFT. Plain and simple.

Pretty much sums it up.

When I see these, I check the for my aff. ID in the form coding. If I don't see it, they don't get traffic.

What really bothers me is when sponsors add the boxes AFTER the fact - after I start sending traffic (footers on hosted galleries seem to be a popular place to add them when they see fit).

Once you hit submit it says:

The rest is a blank white page

Exactly. If my ID disappears after they hit submit, I am done with the sponsor.

I wonder, are there any sponsors who credit joins from emails I sent them?

Thats some shitty marketing

Depends on what they do with the e mail addy. Do they include your ref code with all mailings? If they don't then YES it's a traffic leak and is stealing.
