Get traffic from review sites?

[spazlabz]

Hi Pam I am pretty sure your one of the review sites I submitted our sites to, but since you didn't require a recip I wouolnd't have sent you the e mail. I don't know about every US Based biller, but the one I am speaking about most definitely required the removal of those recips for the reason specified.

I was told that this is coming down from VISA US and that it will start to take effect across the board. I can only speculate about the accurracy of that or the time frame

If that's true it's about as big a bombshell as 2257/4472.

I agree Hammer and I have to admit when it was told to me over the phone I was a bit stunned. I checked on a couple more occassions with everyone from my account rep to 3 different people in their compliance dept and was pretty surprised when the question was consistantly answered the same way 'no linking directly to a site that links directly to a piss site' i will try and have a rep from the company post here to answer questions, but i thought it was a big deal and surprised that it hadn't been mentioned on other boards.

Today it's piss, tomorrow it's anal, and who knows where it goes eventually. If Visa says they won't process for sites that link to sites that have content they don't like and they decide that piss isn't the only thing they don't like, this could get ugly.

The thing that's disturbing about your case is that you aren't even linking to a site that has piss content. You are linking to a review site that links to a site with piss content. How the hell far do they plan to follow links looking for stuff they don't like?

I still want to ask them about linking to Google because you can find links to anything you want on Google.

I know they stopped processing for blood sites but to not process for sites that merely link? That's going too far with things, IMHO.

Guess I need to pull any links from my paysites to my review site?

Sounds that way, but then again we don't know who this processor is and if it's not CCBill, I wouldn't really get too worried yet.
