How to Steal Other Affiliates Commission with Adware - Affiliates are Selling this Crap - I’m LIVID!
Checkout the screenshot below of a new ebook that teaches affiliates how to literally STEAL other affiliates’ commissions with the most notorious cookie stealing adware out there. (Pros know who I’m talking about - n00bs aren’t going to learn the name from me!) Scroll down to see how many affiliates are selling this crap!
I’m livid! Absolutely LIVID!!! I’ve called out rogue affiliates and fought with them on forums that were promoting this adware - trying to recruit other affiliates on their 2nd tier, to help them spread the “scourge of the net”.
In a nutshell I tell affiliates that even though they could make a dime off Z downloads, it could come back to bite them in the pocketbook by stealing their commission from other programs they are promoting PLUS it hurts the industry as a whole and EVERYONE’s income by causing more consumers to install anti-spyware programs that block affiliate links. Some quote “affiliates” I’ve fought with on the forums have told me “I could care less how it affects other affiliates or the industry as long as it puts money in MY pocket!” I can’t even hardly write this - it just makes my blood boil!
Affiliates recruiting other affiliates to spread adware is bad enough, the purpose of my blog post today is to rant about a new ebook that TEACHES affiliates how to unleash the power of Z to STEAL commission from other affiliates. Obviously I’m not going to give the name of the ebook or link to it. I grabbed a screen shot of the sales page that gives you the jist of what it does.

Want to hear the scariest part??? It’s being sold with private label rights, so tons of affiliates are out there trying to sell it to others. When I Google “crappy ebook name” in quotes I get 1,500 results! How sad is that???
Many of the affiliates selling this thing, have no idea what damage they could do. Many of the newbie’s that buy the book will think they’ve hit on an ethical goldmine - an underground secret that will give them the “edge!”
This just makes me sick! < /end rant >

this is not only illegal but also prosecutable
it is only a matter of time before there is a crackdown as this information is becoming quickly known and those involved will more then likely be spending either jail time, paying fines or both.
Warning to any affiliate contemplating practicing these unethical and illegal ventures. You more then likely will be prosecuted for this. Do not join in these practices

I agree. Hope this kind of marketing practice just gets wiped out!
