I really have no idea of what is going on with this 12clicks guy, or what his business practices are. I don't know him or his company as I just don't hang out at the zoo. I had a look at his affiliate program and I just saw very generic sites with the same content that everyone else seems to be using.

But, if he is involved in cross-sales and that whole scam, I would never do business with him and would shun him, his company, and his employees. I've worked quite hard these past 15 years building up a fairly reputable company that has always cared about its customers. I absolutely HATE anyone who feels they can make a quick or easy buck by purposely scamming customers as those may be my customers also. When you take advantage, no matter what justification you use, you are also hurting me and mine! The bottom line is when you screw with people who may also be my customers, you also screw with me and my livelihood. There really is no excuse, no justification, and no reason to do so if you understood business and customer relations.

So, if 12clicks isn't scamming people, there there is no reason to also attack 12ClicksMichele. But, if he is using all that scammer crap, then his employees are as guilty as he is.

I really wish people would grow some balls and make a stand against all the sleazy scammers we have in our industry. I always see people paying lip service to it, but that's it. The problem is if we don't fight it, and fight those that employee such tactics, we are really no better than them. We always check any affiliates we are going to use, and only use those that aren't using scummy tactics to screw their customers.

Okay, rant mode off
