Robbie you need to slow down and actually read what has been posted.

What is wrong with the title of this thread, it is 100% correct isn't it. If it is not then DH is lieing.

I think the biggest problem here is DH's arrogance and his statements that he will do anything "legal" to make money even if that is installs. He tries to laugh it off and has the " go fuckyourself " attitude. Now when asked which installers he uses, he will not name any. hmmm so no wonder people are thinking here.

You should be more worried about what he is saying not what I am saying... :2 cents: and then you may find the root of the problem.

EDIT:

I forgot.. and " fuck the haters!"

will76, there's nothing shady about not disclosing the names of your private clients. In fact, it's common practice in business.

ok so google is good. Do you sell traffic to google for installs ? doubt. ok so which installers do you sell traffic to ? why the secrecy ?

Will, I'm sorry. I'm tired and I'm going to bed.

But we just don't disclose our customer list. It's a matter of privacy, not of secrecy. We represent some very large customers both in adult and non-adult.

Right now (10:19pm Thursday e.s.t.), none of our customers are using our network to push traffic directly to any software program.

Let's say I have my own cash program. What is preventing me from having an installer change an entire signup link to my cash program's signup page?

For instance:

If my cash program is www.agentcash.com"

What is preventing me from having the installer change
http://signups.nastydollars.com/?revcode=ffmovies

to:
http://signups.agentcash.com/?revcode=agent

... thereby robbing nastydollars of a signup?

as I posted in my other threads:
http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=662460
http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=661879

It is a big circle jerk, someone using the same spyware such as zango could have someone bid on the keyword " nastydollars.com" and make it display a agentcash page and someone else can bid on the keyword agentcash.com and have a nastydollars page displayed.

The only people that do not lose is the spyware and the people paying them for traffic. The affiliates of both of those companies lose to the affiliates paying the spyware to set their cookies and take the traffic / sale away from the real FUCKING person who sent the surfer to those sites and paid for the FUCKING traffic. The sponsors lose because they lose the sales that they should have made 100% on like type in traffic, now they have to pay some fucking spyware "advertiser" the commission because he hijacked even their own sales. I doubt any one company really gains from this, they take some from here, lose some to there.etc...

Oh, this most be from your retard imaginary friend. how many spyware friends do you have that are all too chicken shit to post here. Seems to be a pattern here, spyware guys = chicken shit.

So if sponsors stopped spyware why would they have to lower payouts... please explain this one i can't wait to hear this explanation.

is it perhaps because some sponsors are using spyware with their own affiliate code as a way to shave their affiliates ?

please educate us sig whores how sponsors using spyware allows them to pay us more referral money...

PPS programs generate additional income via installs, cross sales, exit consoles, upsells, etc. Such "extras" allow then to pay out higher amounts. If they reduced their income, they'd likely reduce their payouts as well.

DH's anonymous friend is commenting on the fact that a lot of webmasters bitch about sponsors using such things, yet they'd also bitch if sponsors were to stop using such things and pay out less as a consequence.

DH's "friend" is retarded. If a sponsor makes $5000 / month extra from installs but ends up paying $6000 in extra commissions from type ins that got redirected through an affiliate code from the same or similar crapware he will gain money by killing it all together and can raise payouts. :upsidedow

It's a fucking moronic statement. That's like saying "if you aren't selling crack, you're just small time". Some people prefer to keep their business legal and not play around with that stuff. Some people also have moral and ethical standards.

To say someone is small time nobody because they choose not to install malware is absolutely ridiculous. I'm not going to lay into people for doing it, it's their business, but to say that unless you are doing it, you aren't "big time" is just a joke.

Umm... if a program is paying $6000 in extra commissions, then they're making even more money. An affiliate program only pays out when a sale is made. And if sales are being made, then the program is making a profit. So $6000 in extra commissions means over $6000 in extra gross profit.

You're also working with the assumption that the theoretical installs the theoretical program is pushing are malicious.

btw, is that an admission of guilt that you have been doing this for 3 years ? :1orglaugh

Missie 10-05-2006 07:45 PM

I think we're all wasting our time here. I'm sure DH is not nearly as dumb as he tries to come across. He keeps posting ICQ messages from his "adware friends". Who is he selling his traffic to? He knows exactly what he's doing it, what THEY are doing.

Sounds to me like he's been trained by the Spin team of 180solutions because he sounds just like them.

You tell me it's legal, there's no law against it (yet), I know it's unethical, I know it may or may not be an illegal install, I know it can help steal commissions, but there's still nothing that says it's illegal. However, if you ever get caught, I will play the victim, deny everything and claim and scream at the top of my lungs I didn't know about it.

Total waste of time.

It's not acceptable. It's a horrible business practice.... and won't be tolerated.

But no such file has been presented as of yet. So therefore we have nothing to go on except "imagine if."

I would personally be in the office kicking Mark's ass if he allowed such practices to go on because anyone who knows me, knows that I will have absolutely nothing to do with it. I will not condone that kind of activity no matter what. Infact, my resignation wouldn't be far behind the ass kicking (actually, he's been to the gym more than me, I'd likely get my own ass kicked).

Is that a press release for P2PADS?

The only thing I've been asking in this thread is that people open their list of possibilities to the notion that perhaps not every site has a popup, that not ever file has a spyware embedded, that not everything in a p2p network is harmful.. and that not everyone who says "hit me up" is instantly trying to cheat everyone he does business with. Think about it. Selling traffic to a cheater or to a reputable business... it's sold at the same price. Except there's risk with one and not the other. Why take that risk?


Look go back and start from the beginning, like i said I just posted what has already been posted by him and asked 1 main simple question, if you are sooo sure that you do not advertise spyware then why can't you tell us the name of the installers you sell traffic to ? Whats the big deal in that.

A. They already said they don't sell traffic to any installers at the moment.
B. It's bad business practice to release the names of your clients without their consent.

If I called my local Best Buy and asked them for a list of the last fifty people to have bought a DVD burner, they'd hang up on me. If I called Verizon and asked them to name me some of their DSL subscribers, they'd hang up on me.

Hell, if I asked you to list me off affiliates (without their prior consent) who you've referred to Clickcash and assist with your Team Clickcash project, would you?

Sort of how his donkey "friend" assumed we don't understand how affiliate programs work and that they for sure aren't losing money by offering installs? The post was written that way to point out how idiotic the logic was.

Also, you can be 100% sure any installer friend isn't doing a clean install of anything. If some idiots surfer wants to download a toolbar that gives him popups of relevant ads nobody really cares. They would just come here and post how their shit works instead of sending insults for DH to post. The people this thread was targetting are the same ones taking offense to being called shady and winging insults about TGP submitting in basements. We know full well that program owners kiss their ass because they have all this amazing traffic but the program owners don't look into it enough to see the negative side of it. If the program owners ever wake up every installing moron out there will be out of business and might have to revert back to making galleries in mommas basement themselves.

Stuart, stop playing the dumbass because you proved with just ONE post that you could be an intelligent human being when you give yourself a chance. You don't approve of it but you sure defend it as hard as you can. So I know that you know exactly what "it" is and what I refer to.

You're right, this is a total waste of my time.

he has made the comment, he will do it as long as it is legal. If you don't want to name the ones that you send your own traffic to or that you sell traffic to, can you just name 5 "adware" programs out there. Not google and shit, the ones that one of us could " possibly" buy traffic for.

Yes, I do know what "it" is. It's an assumption. An "imagine if."


As for what I defend... I defend a notion that perhaps something can be something other than what you assume it is without any facts what so ever.

Don't ask why I defend something, ask why you attack it so adamently.

KrisKross 10-05-2006 08:02 PM

I may be completely wrong here, but based on my understanding of how P2PAds works as well as what I've gleaned from the posts here, the companies running the installs pay P2PAds to distribute the installs themselves through P2P networks. I don't think Joe Webmaster is using P2PAds to send traffic to a page pushing the install.

Martin 10-05-2006 08:10 PM

Hey Mark, drop the shitty attitude bro. Seriously. The "Go build another ND gallery" comment you found so funny isn't something you should find that funny. Did you forget where you got your start? I remember. BTW this install crap. You can do better.

Dollarmansteve 10-05-2006 08:12 PM

This thread is hilarious.

All the people making noise in this thread are the same people who think any email sent on the internet is SPAM - and they are making money from neither legit mail or installs.

Everyone else is too busy with their JOB of MAKING MONEY.

And, as I've said before - everyone's ethics/morals are on a sliding scale - directly propotional to how much they are banking from the product.

I know you are coming in on the tail end of this but this is where we disagree.

Sure they make .40 or whatever on an exit page install, but once that pc is infected with that "adware" and if it acts anything like zango ads they will lose more money then they are making from the .40 per install.

If anyone on the infected computer EVER clicks on one of the sponsors adwords, paid advertising, type in traffic, etc.... the sponsor will not make 100% of the sale like they were suppose to do. The person who is bidding on that keyword and using a program like zango will get credit for the sale at the sponsor's expense. The sponsor still makes the sale, but they have to pay out on it. Figure that out vs. .40 an install and at best I think they are just chasing their tail.

Now, here are some side affects. The more computers these sponsors help infect they more they are helping to cheat their good affiliates out of sales, which the sales are being directed to the affiliates who are paying the spyware company to hijack cookies. The more the good affiliates lose in income and the worse their conversions get, the more they will lose these good affiliates because they "aren't making what they use to". A phase that is becoming more and more popular... I wonder why :warning

Here is another side affect, knowing all of this (as many people are finding out about now) more and more affiliates will start dropping sponsors who support (and especially advertise) something that is directly affecting their income. So would it be more wise for them to stick with cross sales, and exit pages to other companies then worrying about making a couple cents an install... I think soo. and i fail to see how this makes them more money, if anything they would come out ahead if they didn't do it.. :2 cents:

Hey Will76, why don't you tell me your sponsors, how much money you're making, where you live, where your office is located (if not out of your mom's basement LOL). I'm also going to need your last 3 years tax returns, your GF or BF's home address and your social insurance number.

Hmmm don't feel like giving me that stuff? Well I don't really feel like giving up my client list. It's not fair to them and it's not how business is conducted...

Obviously you're just some silly ass webmaster who never got into the world of real business or you would'nt even have to ask.

P.S. You're also a pussy for not replying to me icqing you.

We have NEVER done any installs on an affiliate basis, only pre-paid deals for legal adware companies.

Not that is much of your business but anyways.
