I just got a call from neverblue, cx digital and copeac to stop all rebill traffic.

I executed my 24 hour out cluases on my big buys and hopefully it will be done on new years day but might not since it is all holiday.

fuck this sucks man, gg affiliate marketing. back to mcdonalds, maybe nick thorlson will hire me.
 
Kevin Hoeffer single handedly killed affiliate marketing by opening his big mouth.

Don't forget to cancel your hotel reservations for ASW.
 
My informer at the fbi told me to lay low at asw, apparently a raid might be happening.
 
A little clarification. For the past two weeks Visa and M/C have been reviewing this space, looking for those who were hiding terms, forcing upsells and not responding to consumers, they have a close eye on this spcae

What you are seeing from today and yesterday is one bank pulling out of this industry. Its not Visa or M/C and the idiot at CB who told you that should be beat to death. Wells Fargo pulled out of the entire industry, the complaints were to much and the expense of dealing with irate consumers outweighed the money they made. This trend will continue if the industry as a whole doesnt clean up its act. More banks will follow suit.

Offers which hide the terms, force upsells on consumers, and dont respond to customer service calls will eventually be shut down.

I am sure there are a few pubs/networks/advertisers who are shitting their pants, once they shut accounts they usually get frozen for 6 months or more. Its going to be a long time before some people get paid. Itll probably weed out some of the smaller players in the space as they wont be able to survive with little to no cash flow

To that Copeac is accepting all of your traffic. We have compliant offers that convert pretty good. We booted most of the garbage out last week

Dont let one moron who is misinformed scare you away. Be responsible and promote merchants that are not hiding their terms.

Over the next few weeks dont be surprised if you see more guidelines from Us or others in this space.

Mike is right. The guys who are uncompliant (don't ask me what the standards are. they keep getting changed) are getting booted. Some have gotten booted but don't know it yet. We are just seeing the beginning of this.

EAdvertising is accepting traffic to the group of offers we have that are compliant as well.

My guess we will see less converting offers and/or reduced payouts, but media costs should lower as well.

Good luck to you all and hopefully you all get paid.
 
From what i heard from Advertisers i work with its all about compliance....Run an un compliant page=visa/MC comming after you by linking SS numbers on Accounts so you get a nice big fine and everything is shut down...Run a compliant page=Visa/MC leave you alone and keep billing

No article or news to quote just from what i have gathered from Clients

A perfect example of the tragedy of the commons, I wouldn't expect the industry as a whole to change, for each affiliate that views this as a business that needs to be operated in over the long term, there is an affiliate that views each rebill campaign as a quick score.
 
the diet vertical is under the microscope. notably, berriez and the like, are one of the hardest things to cancel. this will probably lead to reduced payouts because of the risk to the producer. more people will be allowed to cancel, as set and determined by a new set of playing rules that I am sure we will see surface soon. of course this is speculation.
