NASTYDOLLARS and TOPBUCKS link theft - AFFILIATES MUST READ
 

ok because these are shifty we likely wont get all of them , but i think we can shut these guys down the easy way..

First we need to find someone who still has the spyware loaded thats changes the link codes for nastydollars and topbucks.

http://www.cumfiesta.com/main.htm?id=gfy&p=clean

Open that link and see if the affiliate id code "gfy" changes.

If it does , come back and confirm this, and i will make several examples of link codes , and we will find one that doesnt get changed, then i will post the code here..

Im sure the MAJORITY of nd traffic comes from users who frequent gfy at one time or another.


If nobody bites , i'll infect a test machine later this week and do it myself. someone drop a link to the spyware that does this.

Nice misleading title... Maybe you should of included "spyware" in it?

Didn't change for me.

code never changed for me

I know alot of people give you shit, but I really think your intentions are good on this one.

Good job

Yup, his intentions are getting as much attention as possible...like always hes doing a great job.

Doesnt change here, but the guys who have been doing this need to be shut down with all funds forfeited

Well in this case maybe attention to the matter would be a good thing

Who's spyware is doing this?

Sure.

code doesn't change for me

Stayed the same for me logging in from the UK with both Mozilla and IE

:thumbsup

Most of us keep our machines cleaner then porn site surfers..



We really need to figure out a better way to catch these guys and put a end to this.

Everything is just fine. :)

Fine for me, I hope these assholes go down..

What a busy Bear.

we're looking into it. we do not allow promotion of this type.

Great :thumbsup

btw If you use IE upgrade too sp2 and you are protect against lot of them...for ex..xxxtoolbar :2 cents:

:thumbsup

We're combing through our data and log files looking for evidence of this sort of practice as well, and of course we will terminate any account found to be hijacking traffic by any means.

If you ever see a specific TopBucks ID being 'swapped in' in such a fashion, please send the info to [email protected] so we can look into it more closely.

Thanks!
- Q.

like we care , we dont buy porn we sell it. the point of the thread is a solution. patching every adult webmasters computers is pointless , they dont buy porn.

This may be thread of the year, who knows?...

Are you looking into a way to get the ref code to credit the rightfull owner ??

Its nice that your doing this , and will cutdown on this crud in the future , but it would be nice if you also came up with a simple solution, (i.e. alternate link codes ? )

Cool :thumbsup

if you got a third party domain to route the links , we could all be cutting these guys out right now, as it stands you might cut out the webmasters , but now the sales get no ref code :(

very simple solution at the affiliates end.

Get a new domain www.link-transfer.com

make new temp link codes.

i.e. http://www.link-transfer.com/transfe...;blowref=12345

Its nice to see that both NastyDollars and Topbucks are willing to go out of their way to help insure that honest affilates aren't getting ripped off

whoops i meant at the sponsors end

No change here...

Thanks for letting me know , but we realise that most webmasters aren't going to be infected wih spyware, were looking for someone who has the spyware active.

Absolutely - we defnitely want to do what we can to make sure that the right affiliate gets credit for the sales. I'll be perfectly honest and tell you straight out that I'm not nearly technically savvy enough to speculate as to how exactly we would go about doing this. Fortunately, the folks in our programming and sys admin departments are a lot more tech-inclined that am I, and we've got them on the case. :thumbsup

Ok here

Cool :thumbsup

My ratios have been shit for about 3 weeks... so I have not been sending as much traffic... but I would like to be ND has been good for me in the past.

Here's a cut & paste from what I wrote in biskoppen's thread.

It would be a decent solution until sponsors start implementing a post-back system of some type, then all hits could be verified as getting to the correct linking code.

bump for someone infected to help us change links
