DRAMA! bank18 (8teenies) revshare has exit consoles and uncredited links
 

If you load up http://8teenies.com/ccbill/, then close it you'll see this exit console: http://www.8teenies.com/exit01.html?

Okay, bad enough that a revshare program has an exit console with a bunch of uncredited external links, but if you look more closely you'll see that they also link to sites WITHIN their program, and overwrite your affiliate cookie with their own.

856155 isn't my affiliate ID... they're blatantly stealing traffic referred from their affiliates and converting it to "internal." :mad:

Their program site http://www.bank18.com/ has no obvious contact info.

Nice... not. Thanks for sharing.

That fucking sucks

oh cool i just signed up for this program a few days ago. hope they could fix this asap. thanks rowan :)

it either doesn't work in firefox or they removed the popup

hmm.....

Firefox blocks it, but the pop-up is still there - take a look at the HTML source and you can see "pop.js", which contains the location of the exit window.

that's shady business

all links pulled from them, thanks for the info

they've altered the pop-up so that it only links to other sites in their program and doesn't re-write the cookie.

Yeah, nice of them to stop cheating after they were caught...... :disgust

That's VERY fucked up!!

Just checked and I've converted at an appalling 1:11,706 for the year of 2006. I would have dropped them anyway had I noticed this earlier. :2 cents:

Thanks I'm pulling my links too....fuckers

Better late than never? :)

damn cheaters

err dont wanna be the bad messenger, but those sites are within the 8teenies network arent they? I just checked and I went from 8teenies to nastya for example and my code was there... maybe I misunderstood?

this is what I see did they change it?

just another idiot whining about stupid shit.

at what point does the surfer you sent to a program, become thier surfer? or should we just start paying google directly for all traffic as most of it is coming from there anyways? or should we also pay the person who sent the surfer to your site, because it once was thier surfer too.

Yes, the page originally had about 15 thumbs on it, most with links to external sites. The internal sites were sent via refer.ccbill.com with another PA. See the original post for the URLs.

Ratios suck anyways...thanks for reminding me to axe that program

that sux! :(

Are you standing behind the shady business practice of 8teenies ? Tell me that't not for true please.

really pissed i missed this thread when it was posted

:321GFY

8teenies please remove the console and give full credit

thank you :)

*SHAVING*

there really should be a forum dedicated to stuff like this

My ratios with 8Teenies is awesome...

One of the few CCBILL programs I do well with.

I pulled their links a long time ago. Ratios sucked.

starting the pulling process now

thanks for the info, fuck that shit

I don't have to worry about this since i don't push content that caters to the "To catch a predator" crowd.

thanks.
another program on my blacklist.

their site sucks, i wouldnt have promoted it any way.

there's cheaters in every business, best you can do is just get the word out and hopefully enough people stop promoting them and they learn their lesson.

Interesting choice of nicks...

You tell 'em :thumbsup!

damn that sucks

Sorry to hear that man...
that really suckzzz.. :(

Wonder if they put the code-stealing consoles back up by now. :)

Or at least some basic contact info on their program site........

Don't you think that would make too much sense? :)
