Sponsors really need to pull their shit together
 

...and block Zango.

Sure, you're making money with them, but you're fucking over every single other hard working affiliate that is promoting your content.

:(

Search "zango"

they wont do it--- know why?
the webmasters are producing the galleries, submitting and designing, and the spyware make sure the webmaster don't get his share of cash = more for the sponsor... it wont change before the sponsors get sued

That's exactly what needs to change.

There are more out there than just Zango...

Totally inaccurate
you don't have a clue... why don't you actually read the threads, so you know what you are talking about.

In a nutshell...
The sponsors still pays out the sale, just not to the person that earned it and to top it off in many cases will be paying out sales commissions that they never would have had to in the 1st place so the sponsor is actually LOSING money!

if you want all the details read Will76's threads

Belive what you want... But I know for a fact that some affiliate programs buy CHEAP "volume sales" from people who generate them by stealing the affiliate ID with Malware. If that don't mean the program makes more cash, you must have failed math.

Before you call people clueless, you should check who you are talking to.

actualy the math isnt that simple ebus , theres a few other factors involved..

If a sponsor buys traffic from malware that has ripped off a webmaster , the webmaster will make less money , if he makes less money he is likely to go to a sponsor that isnt ripping him off, eventually the malware has nobody to rip off because nobody is promoting the program.

The quick math says sponsor makes more money , the longer math says they are shooting themselves in the foot and making much less money..

i have no doubt some sponsors cant see very far into the future and fall for this type of thing just like the yahoo ppc scam.

New webmasters and free porn are things the world will never run out of :thumbsup

Smokey, can you elaborate on the Yahoo PPC thing?

An affiliate wouldn't necessarily have to promote a certain sponsor.. Once the ware is installed on a surfer's computer, it's all about keywords.. The affiliate could be promoting a different sponsor, but the ware could still pop up the sponsor that the affiliate dropped..

And if it contains the sponsor's own aff code, it's 100% to them..
