Yes I Know...ANOTHER QUESTION!:disgust :1orglaugh But if I don't ask, I can't learn:thumbsup

The search function at the top is your friend...

Oh GOD..Oh GOODDD!! Why did you bring that up?

Zango is that magic word that EXPLODES a thread's views.

LOL just ask Will

ok after a nice bongload and some searching here is what I found




Zango was a software brand name for 180Solutions but following 180Solution's merger with Hotbar, the company has been called Zango. Zango manufactures adware typically downloaded in the form of games, DRM-protected videos and software for download such as Zango Messenger. Zango's consumer website asserts that the company is "committed to creating a content economy." Warner Bros and other notable content manufacturers have been known to provide content. This content ranges from Internet soap operas to video shorts like Medical Island. Zango is listed as a "Potentially Unwanted Product" by McAfee, and can be removed by most leading anti-virus and anti-spyware software.

Controversy



Hotbar is an example of adware due to its banner advertising and use of popup windows, and also an example of spyware as it monitors the webpages the user visits. Hotbar does disclose these aspects of its behavior in its Terms of Use. The user's browsing habits are sent to the Hotbar servers (adopt.hotbar.com, tooltips.hotbar.com and dynamic.hotbar.com) with a unique user ID which allows a user's browsing habits to be tracked over an extended period of time.

Hotbar can be detected and removed by several anti-spyware and anti-virus programs, including Windows Defender, Spybot - Search & Destroy, and Norton AntiVirus. However, some utilities do not remove Hotbar completely and leave keys behind in the Windows Registry.


Hotbar (also known as HbTools) is a program which was produced by Hotbar.com, Inc, until 180Solutions merged with Hotbar. It is a plugin for Microsoft programs Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office Outlook and Outlook Express, which adds a toolbar and the option of extra skins. It also allows the user to add emoticons to emails created in Outlook or Outlook Express or check the weather report. Once installed, Hotbar may also show an advertising banner in Microsoft MSN Messenger, offering free emoticons; this banner redirects to the Hotbar main page. In addition, a weather forecast application is installed.

Zango Cash is their profitable affiliate program. It pays per install.

Some webmasters feel that Zango overwrities their affiliate codes, thus costing them money. Please correct me if that is incorrect.

Zango is evil. "Please correct me if that is incorrect." :1orglaugh

Zango = Spyware

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zango

a company will76 owns stock in :2 cents:

I hate Zango!

Zango = Spyware.
Using Zango = unethical.
Doing business with Zango = unethical, stealing,...
Companies doing business with Zango: AFF, Cams, Sexsearch,...

push marketing.

It's the new animated movie from DreamWorks starring Elizabeth Berkely as a cute but deadly ebola-virus infected monkey who escapes the lab to discover that home is where most of your skin falls off and rots at.

die zango thread die. It's spyware and if you used the fucking search feature the board offers only about 298374298347298342938 other threads discussing every angle of this crap would come up.

So new thing for you to learn. The search. It's amazing.

porn industry talking about unethical?

Its spyware that baits users into installing it, by offering them free videos or games as people mentioned above. Its always been a nightmare to uninstall, very misleading, and they have brought to court more than once with class action lawsuits.

Then it monitors browsing habits etc and serves ads to those who were tricked into having it installed. If you've ever had a problem where you left your computer running but closed out all the windows... and come back later to find popups on your desktop, that could be zango.

Webmasters have a problem with it, because a surfer with zango can get served popups for programs they promote, say.. when the surfer is on a gallery page. The popup will contain zango refcodes (or refcodes of the purchaser of the zango traffic), and not the webmasters.

Generally it will display ads that are contextual to the webpage the surfer is viewing at the time.

After just another question, start realise how important they have become

:disgust :disgust :disgust :disgust

So because I promote porn sites I can't object to unethical things? Ok, Stealing, killing people, rape,... all al OK, cuz I promote porn! *sigh*

god you are a moron. AFF / CAMS who you blow, probably spends millions in advertising with zango a year and i own stock LOL.

what does zango mean ? It means if you promote AFF or cams that you are getting fucked out of sales. Companies like AFF and Cams and SexSearch are using zango to take sales and traffic from you and their own affiliates. Really doesn't matter who you promote, they target most of the big affiliate companies.

Some people think it is a joke, I would bet some top affiliate have been paid off and others just prefer to make jokes about it or ignore it because they know there can't do much to stop it.

Actually Cams.com has worked with Zango so that there will be no more popups over affiliate's sites when they send us traffic.

Don't you mean affiliate links on your site? You still pop over the affiliate site itself before they even send you traffic.

do you ever not spam your fucking affil codes in every thread?

Yeah I know how it goes. When you have zango on your computer and you go to cams.com it pops up aff.com, when you go to aff.com it pops up cams.com

Who are you trying to fool here. They are still advertised all over zango and still taking everyone's traffic and sales . Like Lars it would be best at this point if you didn't talk about it.

I knew I was giving too much credit to them. I need to read between the lines more. I thought maybe they had stopped even that..

what about non affiliates who you taking sales from ? fuck'em ?

Here is an idea, stop doing it.

don't let their weak attempts at spin and trying to word things in a way to make it sound like they are doing something good.

They are the worst company out there when it comes to make money at all cost no matter who you fuck even their own affiliates. they use "adware" which often gets installed as spyway, they takes sales from us, they advertise on password sites, they always seem to have stolen content on their sites, etc...

same thing as bango,tango, mango
