Zango?

virgohippy · 2006-10-14, 09:59 PM

Reminds me of the way so many people turned a blind eye when some passionate new power monger proposed eliminating the weaker members of society so everyone else could flourish... by the time the rest of the world was ready to cry out in protest, too many had already been killed...

...

Nother thread about Zango, in case anyone missed it:

Yeah, sorry. I should have posted in that thread... didn't think about it. This shit's got me worked up like nothing else

Everything about this crap should be kept up on top for everyone to get pissed off about every day IMO.

I started building and submitting sites very recently but I've been planing to get into this for a long time, and I've invested a LOT of time for virtually nothing so far!
But that's fine... I have no problems with working for nothin' as long as I believe that it'll EVENTUALLY pay off... and I suspect that many, if not most,
people who're getting into this feel the same way.

However, If I would have had the slightest idea of what these mother fucking Zango
kind of leaches are doing, I probably wouldn't have bothered with any of it... MY bad!!!

And why the hell would some SPONSORS be on board with this??
That's GOT to be counterproductive in the long run... starving your affiliates like this, no?
But maybe they're not in it for the long run.. huh?

What I can't believe is that it's been going on somewhat since 2004 and it's getting lots of attention just now?.. or is it? How could I have missed it? I've been reading boards for a long time!
There should be riots i every city and village of every nation on our dear globe by now!

Like you said virgohippy:

It's been 2+ years, too many have been killed and it's time to stand up and cry out!!

So for all you vets with greater power and bigger brains, let me know where to sign up for the rally and I'm there... I'll even bring my own pitchfork!

Btw, I found a post by SmokeyTheBear over at gfy.com with an idea of how to beat Zango.
I've been doing some experimenting with it since last night but as I don't have a whole hell of a lot of traffic, I can't really say if it'll make a difference so far..
Did anyone else with some substantial amount of traffic see and try this solution yet?

Am I overreacting?

Interesting idea... but if tactics like this are used wide scale then ultimately it'll just become a pissing match between coders as Zango adapts to webmaster tactics, and webmasters adapt to Zango adaptations... and the surfers still potentially suffer from yet even slower load times, more security holes, and non-loading pages.

Another thing too: as a matter of principle, Zango shouldn't be able to grab one dime the way they do, but it seems like a lot of webmasters who indicated this is the first time they've become fully aware of the issue almost immediately implied Zango is the reason.

Let me go on record saying that I blame my lack of recent productivity on my far too long interlude from the fresh freesite crafting game.

And no, I don't think you're overreacting. You're venting your frustration on a public forum... that's healthy. If you bought a gun and a plane ticket then I'd say you might be overracting.

My sales problems are probably due to a combination of things, not least promoting new sponsors and new niches and spreading those hits out etc etc.
I doubt that Zango affiliates have stolen any of my sales, but it's hard not to point the finger when your numbers look so bad compared to previous months.
The idea that another webmaster can simply muscle in on a sale that I'd generated is enough to make my blood boil, but the first person I'm looking at regarding bad ratios is me.

Interesting reading on GFY, and I see that Legendary Lars has made a statement and has taken some stick about it.
