You're an idiot, the point is exposing adult companies using them to steal from us.

Now now, no need for name calling.

Expose companies using adware, yes!

Constantly say the "Z" word and you have more and more people signing up, checking them out and stealing more money.

ummm..........

2 parts to zango. 1. pays people to do installs (zangocash). 2. sells traffic to people (metrics direct).

I post here to educate people about zango, all aspects. When people are educated how zango works then they would have to be morons to promote them to make .40 install only to fuck themselves on all the other sponsors they are advertising on their own site. Some people were promoting zango and stopped because of this, some people reached out to sites that was promoting zango and go them to stop. I DOUBT anyone here started promoting zango installs after finding out how bad they were and other than idiots like dorkjedi and fake sig whores just looking for attention, i haven't heard of anyone. It would make no sense. Installs are by far the thing that causes us the most damage.

The more pcs infected = the more traffic stolen from me.
The more assholes buying traffic from zango DOES NOT = more traffic stolen from me.

The second part is the people who buy traffic. Zango was selling traffic for all the popular urls and keywords long before i started posting about it. They sell traffic by the popup, and people bid on the urls. By posting about Zango the only bad that has come out of all of this is that the cost per click has gone up because more people bidding on their services. (AFF perfect example.) SO some asshole pays .04 a popup for my sponsor's url (my traffic) where as before he was buying it for .01. The amount of popups the infected user is seeing is the SAME. Zango caps how many is allowed to happen over a period of time so more people buying traffic doesn't mean more popups, just means zango makes more per pop up. My traffic is still being stolen regardless. The other part is the assholes who read this and want to use zango, let them. They expose themselves and I am sure a lot of people will stop doing business with them or skip over them in the future.

GOOD from my posting here: Make all affiliates aware how zango works so they never promote them. Some people were promoting them and stopped because they had no idea how it worked. Some webmasters have made scripts that notify the surfer their pc is infected. The sponsors who use stolen traffic have been exposed.

Bad: zango makes more per click from assholes who want to buy traffic from them.

While I don't want Zango to make more money, them making more money hasn't hurt me or anyone else here. If more sponsors stop using them, we keep working on people doing the installs , and the FTC stays on their ass, then we have a shot.

I think the good outweighs the bad.

yeah if i see AFF posted one more time I don't think I am going to be able to stop myself from signing up :1orglaugh :upsidedow :1orglaugh :upsidedow :warning :1orglaugh

I had a response typed out... then I thought better of it and will post this instead:

Sorry lil fella, you're right i'm wrong. :(

thanks man appreciate that. There is a lot more to it than meets the eye. I have really looked at this from all angles and spent a lot of time on it. The last thing I would want to do is waste my time and make things worst.


big of you to say that.

I still dont get why people here dont see the REAL 800 pound gorrila in the room. Zango is one - ONE - adware company. Most fly under the radar and make serious money, controlling serious traffic. And kicking your bankroll in the the balls.... very hard.

That said, this simple minded sole focus on only Zango misses the larger issue.

EDUCATING SURFERS.

Why the fuck are you all linking to net nanny and all that other bullshit on your warning pages whey you could easily ALSO link to Spybot, AdAware, etc.

Come on people, think. Zango sucks, but they are but one fish in an ocean of sharks. Why not tackle the large issue?

I thought gorillas lived in the jungle highlands, not near the ocean :helpme

Educating surfers is very important and while this site does have a lot of surfers on it, this is an adult message board and more of the place to discuss which adult companies support this type of traffic and which don't. Also, a lot of scripts were made and posted here to block zango infected users and send them to page letting them know they have it on their pc and how to remove it.
