datinggold links has popups now??
 

Just clicked on my link and I got a console popup of reviewdollars site. What is up? This is definitely not acceptable :Oh crap

Stealing traffic

this could be earth shattering if true

old news. Was a Thread about this 6 months ago.
the answer from them was that if you don't like to give away your traffic for free, they can disable the pop up on request.

:error

I don't promote them so the best I can do...

imaginary links pulled :thumbsup

First Sandy and now this?!?

Ouch!! didnt notice that one :Oh crap

Wow they admit it

for a while now

If you are still making more money with them than with the others just ask for pops to be disabled.

This is unbelievable.... :(

popup's traffic is useless now days anyways

This one is not as useless as usual popups, this one is pretty nasty for affiliates:
when surfer clicks on submit form to enter his details/zip code etc then instead of entering it he gets that popup/console.
I bet that crap discourages number of people from signing up. I mean imagine you (or better average dating site surfer) go to some dating site and when you try to enter your details you get this crap instead, you would think - this site might be crappy site, real dating sites does not give me this crap and move on.
This is SERIOUS SHIT :Oh crap

Could you give me a link to that thread?

:Oh crap

It's the new model. Many programs aren't running classic affiliate programs. They are running get rich quick schemes and scams. You the affiliate send them traffic for free (due to various sponsor tricks) and they in turn send the traffic elsewhere to make money from your traffic without having to pay you anything for it. They are playing on your ignorance, gullibility, and apathy. Just like a classic "make money fast" scam. You're the sucker.

As I said before - If you are still making more money from DG than other progs whats the problem?

Don't worry about what they are doing to make money, keep a close eye on your own bank balance and then make a decision.

On the surface that approach seems to work. But what happens when your other sponsors start doing it as well because they think they can get away with it? And this is exactly what happens too.

Then experience shows that once someone starts to cheat you it will only get worse as time goes on. It's true nearly 100% of the time in this industry.

Easy enough to fix...few clicks and...buh bye DG. :321GFY

So what does affiliate gets from popup ?

nothing... it is their way of doing business.
Funny to say, when I seen their program when opened, I knew it was just a expensive looking door to other programs, you know, hand in hand with other programs on the affiliate their expenses. I had a few conversations with them on ICQ, and they where never able to have me put up 1 link of them.


Welcome to the affiliate business model where the big bird shits on the smaller ones.

+1, giving away free traffic or promoting shit with traffic leaks blows ass :2 cents:

So we will steal your traffic unless you let us know and we will stop stealing.

This isn't that abnormal, guys. Dating Gold isn't the only company doing this.

so name them here then.

where the fuck have you guys been... get over yourselves

You can't pay out $5 a lead and not get it somewhere

The shadiest issue is not merely doing so, but:
1. doing so without notifying webmasters (we all remember consoled and console free tours from sponsors that you could choose - and you knew that)
2. its not some regular popup, this one pops up whenever surfer is trying to SIGN UP for the lead, meaning this thing sabotages the lead (surfer may and will change his mind after he sees that crap once he tried to input his info)

This is wrong and shady on many levels!

They are not the only ones who do things like that.

>>>>>>>>>>

What are honest alternatives for per lead dating?

I dropped most of my promotion to them a long time ago when I'd have problems with their API and Jayvis kept blowing me off about it.

Visit www.xlovecam.com (with a top country IP) and you will have a popup opened with scoopers.com

how can I get in touch with them? I added all the icq contacts from their site and nobody answers :)

Not my department, but hit me up on Skype (DG_Tofu) or shoot me an email, directly:
tofu at datinggold etc..

I'll take care of you.

I see, however the topic is dating programs doing that.

Thanks GFY my real guideline to ask about everything...

Pulling links is easier than contacting them and hoping they won't do it again.
