Since these thiefs bring no new traffic to the sponsor:
It would only take one thief buying out a sponsors links, to cause a massive decline in traffic for the sponsor, as affiliates move to greener pastures.

"Bruzzese claims Zango does not in any way overwrite cookies that are tagged with affiliate ID codes."

But there's no cookie to overwrite because the surfer never went through my link because you read my page and sent the surfer to my sponsor first but with your id instead of mine...

Bruzzese, was this response supposed to reassure me, as an affiliate, that you're not stealing from me? Because all I see is that you've confirmed exactly how you go about doing it.

After seeing this and reading the article I see that we need a three pronged approach
First - naming any sponsor that supports this or benefits in any way from this activity - and I believe we should start a thread right here to do it.
Second - and I will take the lead on this one - delete any sponsor that is confirmed to support this from all sites
Third - and again I will try to take the lead here on this - work with a programmer to defeat this the same way we did with the MSN problem that did the same thing - if anyone wants to work with me on this one I will try to make sure there is some sort of compensation involved

- I am 100% with Linkster on this one... and will also kill any sponsor confirmed on the list.

In my opinion we should also "out" the sponsors that support SE spammers and the webmasters that use install/codec program like VideosCash

.. but Zango is a good place to start...

/QUOTE]

My knowledge of programming is limited to say the most, but I will definitely dump any sponsors using this crap, and will post on my submit page saying that I will not allow submissions for sites promoting sponsors who use this crap.
But where can I find a list of sponsors using Zango or similar?

if zango keeps growing users, eventually there will no longer be a need for the webmaster or any webmaster boards...

I bust my ass trying to hit the right SEO on my LL, and the spammers and scammers walk there way right through google and knock all my listing out, and it dont take a genius to see they are flat out robbing us...

And its certain sponsors who knowingly take there traffic, even after they been reported, if they would close there accounts down, a lot less would spam as there's no one to pay them...

I been reading other boards about zango and from what I read a whole shit load of site owners are ready to fight, tgp LL owners and so on...

when this list is shown and confirmed any sites with sponsor content on them, I hope I can leave them and never ever promote them again and delete all links on my LL's and drop all trades to other LL's When they know that program is a zango cheater...

also I would never post on any boards that advertise any zango sponsors or click on any ads or sign up to any other programs on there board....

I am barely scrapping by and to hear what zango and some sponsors do is mind boggling, a lot I talk to mostly say how bad sales are and click throughs are to for them...

I am not no king producing traffic god but put a few 1000s of webmasters who think like me and others and the message may get accross

Don't miss this page there either:
http://www.benedelman.org/cookiestuf...ch-110404.html

Code:
<IMG border='0' width='1' height='1' src='http://www.qksrv.net/click-1515738-8066398'>
Looks like you can stuff cookies across domains by burying the link in a 1x1 pixel.

Count me in. I'll gladly state on my submission pages that sites with sponsor xyz will not be accepted if it's proved they support this zango fiasco, and will yank any links down of my own, and swap freesites including content if necessary.

Agreed also - I recently had a bunch of shit from a large sponsor when I pointed out an affiliate was scraping my sites to rank for phrases (including my domainname.tld) and redirecting straight to them, and was given the usual BS we'll warn the affiliate yadda yadda yadda. Unsurprisingly after a few days new domains cropped up from the same aff, same technique, same BS answer. Anyway, geting off track slightly so I'll shut up, but again, count me in to do whatever is necessary :thumb

I'm thrilled to see that you big beards (or experienced small stubs) are doing something about this
I'm just a peeon pissing my pants of excitement to see that the zango daemon might, by the power of ALL, be brought to his crusefiction... and that in the span of MY porno lifetime

I've got 'bout 10-20 sponsors (a bunch on the same CCBill account so I'm not sure if those counts as a separate ones..)
But Linkster, How can I know if the sponsors I promote is on the long and impressive list of zango sponsors?
I've looked everywhere on zangcash's site and I can't find any list what so ever... do I need to sign up with this vermin to be able to access all this info?
Is there any chance that I could somehow get this list anyway?
I'd HATE to be building sites for dirty ass sponsors without knowing!

Thanks!

I'm in also!

My traffic is up but clicks are way, way down to sponsors and signups, well, in 8 years this is the worst period I have ever had saleswise.

As far as I can tell my sites are now clean of any direct links to AFF/LL. FWIW I've never promoted sexsearch.

I'll gladly remove links to any other sponsors as and when they are implicated in the zango bid-fest.

I have a very loyal base of surfers and I will not knowingly betray their trust.

Jim, that movie won't play for me but I poked around the 1source4.info site and found this page talking about Netflix and BestBuy...

http://www.1source4.info/0504-hb2-netflix/netflix.html

--
(edit: ... which I now realize was already posted in this thread but since I can't delete this post I'll just make it longer.)
--

Maybe the .wmv file shows something else, but the html page talks about how both BestBuy and Netflix are both being stolen from in their example.

Great thread, where do I get an install to test if this company is stealing any traffic from my sites.

I have heard stuff about a dozen spy ware companies stealing traffic,
I always never believed it until I saw that link.

http://www.teamclickcash.com/tmp/jayxxxlinks.html

Now I need to start serious investigations Monday morning.

Sure has been a lot of strange marketing coming out of this industry as of late. Lawsuits...defamatory web pages... it often makes me wonder what sponsors go around saying about each other.

I guess we have a good example with this Melissa Midwest lawsuit from those guys.

Poor marketing...almost as poor as the "leaked" Jordan Capri Honeymoon video.
