Affiliates are bad Mo'fos!

Slignin berriez that has no link to weight loss whatsoever and then claiming it made Jenny/Pamela/Jessia lose 40 pounds in 2 weeks by following the 2 step combo on her blog, which then goes to offers where the whole business model is based off people forgetting to cancel their $149 trial, is a scam. Period.

It's one thing to have model based on customer lack of responsibilities but offers a genuine product (such as gyms, weight loss programs, genuine biz opps), and another to have that model but also offering a shit product.

No one would give a damn if they got rebilled $79 or $149 if the product worked.

It's obvious people who fall for jennifersweightlossblog.com or alexsrippedblog.com are the kind of people who will blame shit on others since they believed they could look good with out even getting their ass off the couch. But that's not the point. It was a scam. No matter who buys it's still a scam.

I agree. Affiliates did what they did and told themselves what they had to for a goodnight's sleep...I'd be too wrapped up worrying about all the credit issues and other horrendous problems my "deception" caused.

Not judging anyone, just sayin' I couldn't have done it.
 
Great post. Thanks for the heads-up

seriously? do you even know what board you're on? if i had a dollar for every affiliate marketer i've sold backlinks to on WF that was SEOing their fake blog, i wouldn't have to sell backlinks anymore.

you're not here to save the manatees, you're here to make money. as long as you're covering your ass with disclaimers, then it technically doesn't matter if you're whole story on the flog is made up or not. and it's the merchant's job to make sure the customer knows there's a rebill. so stop trying to make affiliates look bad and go work on your own flog... or just STFU!

see, to me affiliate marketing is not something i want to be known for anyway. it's something i do to make money, and that's it. i'm not interested in how the public sees me for my marketing, i care about my public image for my music or for my web design business or for my volunteer work. it's the merchant who should care about their image and if the affiliates who are pushing their product are making them look bad, then the merchant should pull out of the network.
 
all you have to do is ignore bloggers and journalists and your life will be great success and happiness
 
From the Boondocks.
Tom: But what about the victim!!!
Riley: Oh yes, the victim! At what point does personal responsibility become a factor in this equation? I see piss comin', i move. She saw piss comin', she stayed

Personal responisbility is to read the disclaimers, research before you buy. just about every product is called a scam by one person or another. If more customers hold themselves accountable for their actions we wouldn't have these issues.. So Ima keep slangin'

So true - everyone is real quick to point the finger while personal responsibility is completely irrelevant to most people. If someone wants to go around blaming everyone else for everything wrong in their life they sure as hell can, but at the end of the day everything is still wrong in their life and they're not making progress to fix it because they're too busy bitching about how everything is someone else's fault. Good luck with that method, general public. Ya kinda pushed a button for me there.

The problem is those same people have a right to vote, and they continually vote for people that promise to take things (freedom, money) away from me and give it to them, or worse taking those things away from all of us because they're too ignorant to see the real problem is them, not everyone else. Essentially they vote to make their problems my problems.

I think the internet has all the "regulation" it needs. It's actually self-regulating. Scams and rogue companies can only perpetuate so long now that people are getting savvier and doing some due diligence before buying.

Correct! if there's anything the internet doesn't need, it's government regulations. Government regulations only benefit the big players by wiping out the competition and preventing the little ones from growing.

If people don't trust what you are selling, it's up to you to convince them they'll be safe. No one is stopping you from informing people about the different ways to protect themselves, about what you are doing to protect them, about how to recognize scammers, about... No one is stopping you from starting a company that reviews webshops and offers a seal of approval if the webshop adheres to your security guidelines. No one is stopping you from starting a "myths about online shopping" blog. No one is topping you from publishing a "how to use the internet" book and explain a thing or 2 about safe online shopping. No one is stopping you from being creative....

The only one that can stop you from being creative is the government.

When people start regulating google and not just letting them do whatever they want without any explanation to their customers then maybe we can start talking about regulations helping the internet. Fuck google

If you don't like the way Google acts, just don't use them. It's their company, their product, their TOS. If you don't agree with their TOS, don't use them. Vote with your dollars.
