Calling Out All Affiliate Networks: When Will You Give Up Personal Info?

[Sohan]

Great thread. That covers azoogle, firelead, maxbounty (sorta), ads4dough, copeac, Motive Interactive, convert2media, roishare and advaliant if I'm counting correctly and they all seem pretty well in agreement with mike's policy.

And I can probably answer for Clickbooth:
1) Anyone who talks trash about us on a forum

Haha lol, I still want to see CX and Hydra chime in.

Good to see networks making an effort to post in here

As I just found out, there's more to worry about having a domain registrar give out your information (or freeze your domain and leave you in suspense as to whether or not your information was released or not) than an affiliate network. I'm pretty sure in my case, the advertiser nor network were even notified.

An internet marketing forum seems like a great place to ask for a job

That's true. In the future, depending on the domains importance to you and its level of shadiness, you could always register the domain with fake info.

Which registrar?

Which registrar?

GoDaddy - The domain is registered with fake info, but the billing still traces back to me. Apparently the lawyers who got the domain frozen were "supposed to contact me" (and the email address on the whois was valid), but nothing ever happened.

hopefully just an empty threat.

Let's just say that there's a lawsuit that's been filed already, and my domain is mentioned in the lawsuit, though the filing claims some other guy (who is the real guy they're going after) owns/controls the site and some other sites, though he clearly is only behind one of them.

It's a domain I haven't actually used for a campaign in a while, and I only found out it was frozen by stumbling across the lawsuit, and then trying to check something with the domain in my account.
