Its a commercial guys. A well written one, but at the same time…. come on.

No offense intended to Pace or the original author of this….. commercial, but really? Your going to sit here and bash affiliates, as well as networks, as a network CEO?

Posting as a pure affiliate, not an internet marketer, affiliate manager, or super affiliate, I’ve gotta call BS on this entire article.

I’ve worked in several niches, most of the readers here know that I primarily work in Forex/Stocks. One of the great things about the Forex niche, is that we don’t backstab and cheat eachother as much as the CPA world does.

Why?

Because we need eachother to survive.

You’ll figure it out sooner or later. But as for the masked attempt at a commercial – Here’s some transparency for you, no matter how much polish you use, if you polish a turd, it’s still a turd.

The real value of honesty?

Dollars.

I saw this on the web that went a long with your comment and found this to be pretty interesting. Whats even funnier is I went to the forum he is talking about and Steve Howe is a member there (he started his network mainly on blackhatworld which is where he got most of his affiliates to begin with) and one of his AM’s for convert2media is also on MMD looking for affiliates to push craigslist traffic. All of these forums are the same regardless of the content. Your going to have bad people everywhere. I’m not really sure what he proved other than he writes like a 5 year old.

Although this http://www.viewdocsonline.com/document/m7oz8x actually provides some factual info and tends to be more on target. Its funny I read in the group where this was posted and C2M says they faked the info/screenshots but we all know if they did then they would easily win in a defamation case, I don’t think these guys are that stupid. It looks like C2M has a lot of explaining to do. I also hear they owe a lot of people money. Just the word on the street. Be careful……

value of honesty? even google and apple have their own dirty little secrets. It’s the 21st century when capitalism is the king. I think as long as it’s legal, corporates would just do everything to make money.

We have a very simple approach when working with affiliates and publishers: “Good traffic gets rewarded. Bad traffic gets punished.” You can tell me how great, clean, targeted, valuable, vetted, etc. your traffic is. You may actually believe it too. But when you send me “non incent” traffic from loan consolidation sites or display ads on “get a job” sites, I will know it and that traffic will get punished.

Thats the funniest thing I´ve ever read.
Paste:
How does the China afliate know so much aboutExperian and US and UK Credit Report offers?

Well – you don´t have to be American to promote USA offers, right? We all know that americans are not the smartest people in the world – 80% of them never visited any other country.

I am European and I promote USA offers- is there anything wrong with this? Do I commit fraud, just coz I am not USA citizen ( which I don´t want to be)

Jeez, and the person wrote this can´t even spell domain:

Paste again:
HE’S AMERICAN and the domin is still..
I might be blond Bulgarian -but in our country we type domain.., and don´t pretend we are on top of the world

Haters, will be haters- there are not many USA people to promote your offers. Most of them eat popcorn and watch soaps

Good read. Only a few will remain at the top once this industry effectively consolidates. I think it will work out for the better in the long term. These networks that claim to pay but never do will eventually wither-out. That is true for every other industry, including Affiliate Marketing.
