For those mentioning "spirit of the law" versus "letter of the law", that isn't relevant here; this is not an affiliate arguing he didn't see in the terms that having Filipinos commit credit card fraud all day was against the program's conditions. This is an affiliate using a popular marketing tactic that many programs DO allow, not having any reason to doubt he should be paid for it.

As for the discussion of does taking the domain name as a keyword take away type-in or organic sales from the program, my thought would be, it really depends on a lot of factors. Are you using the exact domain name, or just the exact name without the extension? If the first result for the term goes to the site's index and the PPC ad goes to a specific tour page instead and leads to sales, do you know that same person would have bought if they came to your index and not that particular tour? No, you don't. I'm sure you can come up with other situations.

Bottom line, I would allow it, but if, as a program owner, you don't wish to, just put it in your terms.

The fact it is over such a small amount of money, really lends itself this is a matter of ego more than anything else (as far as the program is concerned).

I am still not sure that Dirty D truly understands the difference between PPC campaigns and typeins, and might not realize that my PPC campaigns weren't "taking" any of his sales.

In any case, the facts have been brought to light and it is now a matter of paying something that is owed. I hope he will read peoples responses in this thread and do the right thing.

The Shoehorn method.
This is a great way to siphon off typeins.

Affiliate programs would be wise to check and see if any affiliates are siphoning off the typeins.

You people kill me with this shit and fucked up logic. ANY sales from affiiliates is a good sale (unless it was from spam, trojans, fraud, etc...) He is paying money to advertise YOUR SITE. He could just as easily be targeting the phrase " crack whore confessions" and sending it to another similar type site owned by another company instead of your site. There is no guarantee that you would have gotten those sales even though you seem to be so sure that you would. Bitch when people target your domains and send them to another company, don't bitch when they send them to you.

In these times when most affiliate programs are crying to get sales, you are going to cry because you are getting sales.

unbelievable.

no understanding of PPC, that's what this is.
Some of the bigger mainstream companies have both organic listings and do PPC.
I'd be curious what would happen if an affiliate with great SEO skills got the top 3 organic spots?

Good thing I saw this thread, had a HowIGotRich campaign lined up with $500-day budget that just got erased
The risk is simply not worth it. And any affiliate promoting this program should be on their toes, since who knows what new rule may be made 3 days from now that will cost you yours comissions

thanks for the advice. I guess i better start working then because I only work a couple hours a week as it is now, i spend most of the time sitting on my ass doing nothing.

it's not pretty - this is why it's a smart move for any program to invest in internal traffic sources.

problem is hiring a internal "corp" seo guy vs seo based affiliate is like fedor vs silvia

CunningStunt · 12-04-2009, 02:00 AM

Robbie, wtf, lost total respect for you, you're just out to troll and nothing else. Pathetic really.

It's black and white, it was't in the T&C, he should be paid. I fought 8 months with those assholes at william hill (UK betting co) over a 5 figure payout over the exact same thing. End result, I eventually got paid, they updated their terms, I never did business with them again. That was 6 years ago. I can't believe program owners are still so retarded.

It was not in your TOS, you owe Shoehorn money, period. Now you can change everything you want and do not pay for this kind of sales, but as of now, you owe him money, if you do not pay him you are stealing from him.

The Shoehorn method.
This is a great way to siphon off typeins.

Affiliate programs would be wise to check and see if any affiliates are siphoning off the typeins.

I'd like to add my two cents if I may.

A "Typein", is someone opening a browser, and without going to google or anywhere else, just typing in a domain name. "Sex.com" did wonders for us back in the day thanks to type-in traffic. If someone buys a sound-alike or spell-alike domain name similar to yours, you are out of luck unless you want to have a costly legal battle. But if that person sends you that traffic, count your blessings, pay him the commission, and buy him a beer. Offer to buy the domain from him perhaps.

A "PCC" is a pay per click. Shoehorn's work appeared in Google searches, generating more sales for you. Regardless of how it was done, he obviously did something that you had not thought of, and, sent you that traffic anyway. Again, count your blessings, pay him his commish.

Of course you can disallow this practice in your TOS and if it was there when Shoehorn began prooting, then of course you can chose to enforce it. However, had it been anyone else all the traffic it generated could have gone to a competing site instead.

Peace!

selena · 12-04-2009, 07:59 AM

I don't see how this is debatable, personally. If the means of traffic generation wasn't fraudulent...and it is not...and it is not disallowed in the TOS, then the affiliate gets paid.

Change the TOS to avoid it in the future if you want, but he should be paid.

End of story.

amen. some companies want affiliate sales, some want to be anal.

on a side note most mainstream companies pull this shit, where as most adult do not. But the mainstream companies are very upfront about it, and in some cases its because their domains are trademarked. But i still think it is gay, how do you turn down sales.

Would love to see what HowIGotRich had to say if shoehorn kept doing what he was doing but sent the traffic to another similar pay site. Then they would be kicking themselves because they wouldn't be making shit from his traffic.

Tjeezers · 12-04-2009, 08:06 AM

I have no beef with sponsors.
If i would ever spend money for a Paid Campaign, I will for sure talk first with the program itself to make sure I know where my traffic aka investment will end up.

I know D as a person, and as affiliate i have the pleasure to sell his sites for years, and he has a straight way of dealing with people. I am sure he is willing to give affiliates a huge space of dealing about the issue, I have seen him always as a cooperative person. Try to work this out, give each other a phone call or something. This does not have to end bad. Sometimes you learn on the spot, and ya need to give in and swallow. Whomever has to do that here, just do it and get over it.

Maybe we aren't reading the same threads here or something. But I'm seeing people being vitriolic and smart asses and talking about "hard working affiliates"

I AM a hard working affiliate. And I don't buy a fucking ad word. That isn't work. That isn't marketing.

And that is what I was addressing. All the idiots on here running down a man's business with their goddamn ignorance.

Whether or not Dirty D is going to pay ShoeHorn is up to them. I have no opinion on that. I just don't like seeing a person's business being beat up by a bunch of no-nothing people.

If I were ShoeHorn I'd take him up on that $100 PPS for a month offer and work my ass off to bankrupt Dirty D with all the sales I'd send. But again, that's between the two of them.

Robbie I love you, but I got a problem with your logic here.

anything that generates traffic is work. Just cause it isn't the work you and I are used to doesn't mean it isn't work. If it makes more or less than we can make, it doesn't mean it isn't work. Buying search terms is work, might not be your kind of work, but it's work.

example - say he buys terms that make him $100/month each. Well he would have to buy and track a LOT of terms to make a living doing that. It's investment of capital buying the terms and it's work and time monitoring them and putting the ad buys in.
Buying ad terms is work, sometimes they get lucky, sometimes they don't, just like us building galleries and banners and such. What you are saying is like saying that a garbage man doesn't work cause it's not as glamorous or take as much intelligence as a stock broker.

Next - the 100PPS isn't per sale, it was for 5 sales or $20PPS each reduced from $30PPS- Shoehorn wasn't clear about it - it fucked me up at the beginning of this thread too. Reread the beginning 2 pages.

I agree DirtyD has a right to restrict specific terms in his TOS. But if he didn't have it in there, pay it and change all deals from that point on. And THANK Shoehorn for informing him about it. A deals a deal, capitalism is based on that.

just my

If I typed in "crackwhore confessions", I might be looking for the site itself... but I might also be looking for a random place to find some of the videos. Which would be accomplished by simply scrolling down and going for rapidlibrary or filestube.

Since the crackwhoreconfessions.com listing looks like shit, it actually wouldn't be as enticing as the listings below it. Since some of those listings don't go to pages promoting the site at all, that's a problem.

Adwords offers a solution to that. It allows you to create a prettier listing that confers a message rather than containing some keywords. A message like "Watch hundreds of crackwhores get their holes used right now for just $29.99!" among the listings might just make the surfer think "Hey! That's pretty cheap for getting off right now!" and prevent him from ever scrolling down and discovering the free alternatives.

Hell, we could just look at one of your sites, ClaudiaMarie.com. The second listing is "Claudia Marie Picture and Movies at FreeOnes" - which contains more than enough free galleries to get most surfers off.

An Adwords listing for Claudia Marie which mentions the price and points immediately to a custom join page could well result in a few additional signups each month, from people who would be satisfied by free galleries otherwise

I would hate to be in D's position. Needing $350 so bad he ruins his reputation over false logic.
Now is not the time to "take a stand" on principals. I mean let's face it... you run crackwhore confessionals.

lagcam · 12-04-2009, 10:01 AM

This thread should have been over pages ago as it is a pretty open and shut case that the guy should be paid out and the sponsor should change his TOS if he doesn't want this kind of traffic.

I can understand the sponsor "taking a stand on principle" if he feels that the affiliate did something inappropriate, but in this case the affiliate just realised that the sponsor had left an opportunity open, and by continuing to deny that the payment is due, the sponsor is only going to hurt his own business as he is likely to lose more than just the sales from this one affiliate.

The truest statement in this thread is probably Will76 saying, "better he sent the sale to you than to a competitor" (which if I was him I would probably do now)

and that is not the way it works... " hi sponsor I am about to spend money to send you traffic today, everything ok? " Sponsors wouldn't want this either as it would be a lot of wasted time for them to. That is why they list what is ok and what is not in their TOS and on their site.

He runs a site that has an affiliate program, there is an assumption that.... affiliates will actually spend money to send him traffic. Every affiliate shouldn't have to ok every traffic buy they do every day for every damn sponsor, since it sounds like you are bro bro with dirty D, you trying to put the blame back on the affiliate in this case, when you don't know what you are talking about.

pay the man, i guarantee you will lose A LOT more than $350 or whatever because of this thread.. heck personally i push a lot of volume and ill never consider you just because you are coming off as a slimy scumbag.

anyway, in mainstream, companies put the terms you cant bid on in their TOS, if they dont have it, and i bid on it, then they will 100% pay...

youve had at least 100 people tell you to pay him here, yet you are acting like a thick headed dumb fuck.. i hate when im owed for no fucking good reason, so ill make sure this stays on top so this dude can get paid.. asshole

lagcam Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 2,892	This thread should have been over pages ago as it is a pretty open and shut case that the guy should be paid out and the sponsor should change his TOS if he doesn't want this kind of traffic. I can understand the sponsor "taking a stand on principle" if he feels that the affiliate did something inappropriate, but in this case the affiliate just realised that the sponsor had left an opportunity open, and by continuing to deny that the payment is due, the sponsor is only going to hurt his own business as he is likely to lose more than just the sales from this one affiliate. The truest statement in this thread is probably Will76 saying, "better he sent the sale to you than to a competitor" (which if I was him I would probably do now) __________________ Working Cam site for sale - NOT affiliate.
