I dunno... putting out a product that every single big hitter chases YOU to promote sounds pretty smart to me. Compared to relying on other people folding to get traffic, it does anyway ;-)

What are you going to do if Jon happens to payout to everyone... think that traffic you got back will stay for more than a minute when he emails everyone with his next "thing"?

wow opti, i sense some tension in there.

i didnt say i was better than anybody or smarter than anybody, just said thanks for going under.

i could out convert him and outpay him if i was running a scam on unscrubbed merchant accounts too. shit like that hurts the whole industry, and all i was saying was (in a joking manner) that most of my mailer accounts have returned home now that this flash in then pan of paris is gone, at least for now.


sheesh, somebody has a case of the fridays.

.. But I am pretty damn impressed with what they did with the paris niche.. it was a high risk area to promote.. and they hit it 10 times harder and 100 times more professionaly than anyone else... Considering Paris is the biggest thing to hit our biz this century, I have been wondering why so many others dropped the ball.
Okay I gotta chime in here.

#1. The content was stolen from someone else
#2. The customers cards were crammed with $200 in charges

So did they hit it hard? Yes, professional? LMFAO

The "hit and run" marketing is here to stay - only ones who can put a stop to it is the police. Banks, ISPs, Affiliates all wash their hands by saying "we can not be held responsible" - guess what, you can be held responsible!

I do find it interesting, that people will sell something they know is a scam, and keep on saying something like "I know its wrong, but damn the money is good"... Are they really thinking this short term? Or prehaps they think they are "the untouchables".
Whatever it is, then the good thing is that nature have put a thing in place, which makes sure 99.9% of all scammers get caught - its called greed. They do not know, when to stop, and eventually they are either caught by the police or another scammer takes their money.

Karma...

Oh yeah - its friday

I think thats where I am coming from Toolz...

How are we supposed to know that is what is/was happening. I have heard other people say they didnt have the paris content online... someone else posted on GFY that were running some other alternate paris video clip they cooked up themselves.

I agree they appear to have been able to process a lot more joins than other people... but again, at what point should a webmaster start to say.. I wont send to them becasue they must be doing something dodgy with the processing? As far as cramming $200 per surfer... although it wouldnt surprise me if you are right... I havent heard it before and are you suggesting promoting webmasters could have or should have known about that part of adstats business if it is true?

Its all fine to jump on the bandwagon and point fingers and say "haha, thats kharma" but those that are doing that just appear to be the ones without enough balls or sense to have seen the biggest opportunity we have had to market to non-traditional adult site buyers EVER.

No one said you had to cram cards or use illegal contant to use the opportunity... you just had to be SMART in November... not many prizes are still being given out for knowing it all now, in January.
