Depends the case - it's not always the same - not all of those companies work the same way.

The software will actually convert your 'text' into linkable 'text'
Others will leave your text intact - but when anchor text to your sponsor says something like 'HOT TEENS' and that link is clicked - it sparks a pop-over. So if your sponsor's tour came up they pop-over with one of their client's sites. **Your sponsor disappeared under the window so basically, you don't get 'A' sale**
The other scenario is when they have a 'client' that actually bids on that same sponsor - they basically bump you out of the sale by sending to the other affiliate's code.

Can sponsors tell whether or not a sale has come from a zango/180 solutions affiliate?

I'm starting to get REALLY worried about this as my sales are at a lower level than when I first started making freesites back in March.
I'm aware that it's very easy to get sucked into blaming lack of sales the first suspicious thing you can think of, but the way my sales have plummeted is very worrying, especially since I'm sending more & more unique visitors to sponsors every day, but getting less and less sales.
This month, apart from some good bought webcam traffic, I've had three signups. Count 'em - three!
I was expecting to be at just over one sale per day by now, and my figures from the last six months showed me I was there, but things have just dropped off. in the last couple of weeks.
Sorry to moan, but it's scary to think my little sale-per-day could be being stolen.

I tried to click a couple of smaller sponsor links on my site (non-cam non-dating) and nothing happened. I saw no popups, so I guess we are just having a bad month and sales will pick up soon. It should get back to normal as long as you got traffic and clicks. And of course pray that people won´t start stealing more paysite clicks.

Do you have an infected computer? If not, your clicking is 'normal'. You have to have it installed on a computer in order to see the effects of it.

**Also, some folks are reporting that it's 'calmed' down now and not hijacking links with all the heat they are getting across a lot of boards - same pattern as earlier in the year.**

I installed it to try my links. I just hope it doesn´t get worse now.

Considering the sneaky practices they've already proven themselves capable of doing, it must be difficult not to succumb to using absolute power. |shocking|

Oddly enough...sales have picked up slightly in the past 48 hours or so too. Things that make ya go hmmm...

They'll wait for the dust to settle a bit, but the technology is out there. I'd suspect they won't stop for long
