Who's making money with toolbars?
 

I'd like to know who's stealing my sign-ups.

All for a lousy 15 cents. Pitiful... try looking at the BIG picture for once.

i used to do about 300/500 toolbar signups daily.

I totally agree, It's bad for all webmasters sending traffic

You wasted your traffic

I don't anymore. I'd like to know which program is responsible for this shit, or who's behind it.

It;s not one program, there are a couple of them out there

So you made $50? Congratulations, you're now balling while fucking up business and surfing experiences for thousands of people. You must be proud!

7k of shitty 404 traffic

for ~$60 daily

is that bad?

What's wrong with toolbars like the one from Gamma?

For the traffic quality i was proud yes.

i sale short tool bar remover along with an antispam program that converts great with mailer traffic.

That's the one i used.

No way..I refuse to put my bookmarkers/surfers through that auto install shit..

You should have been be able to make more out of that 404 traffic! Next to that... we should all work on "faith of surfers" and not push them into some traps

Some toolbars steal signups, some paysites shave affiliates, cant blame all toolbars for something only some do

That's what i'm working on now.

I dont use it anymore.

:2 cents:

Are there any toolbar/spyware removal programs with an affiliate prog?

That would be a good market :2 cents:

I've checked but I don't think so. I think I'll start adding links to Spy Sweeper from my sites anyway. Spyware has destroyed 2 of my computers and now even I am leery about making purchases and doing banking online. It's ridiculous.

I'm glad you stopped.

I stopped but thousands of webmasters still doing it.

So it doesnt matter really..

Actually, Webroot, (makers of SpySweeper), does have an affiliate program. If I remember, is a bit hard to find from their pages however.

I know a couple of big tgp that have the auto-install toolbar...and it's suck's :(

Found it
