Can you stop promoting you crappy search engine here. It returns junk results and looks like Godzilla's poop.

How do I leave a comment on his blog? WTF is up with people disabling commenting... if you don't want any feedback then I don't care to hear what you got to say.

I tried DuckDuckGo and was instantly turned off their website due to the terrible results they display. Not to mention that site looks like it was made by a programmer, not a designer i.e. unreadable.

Person doing the advising was obviously clueless. What happened should have raised a red flag right away.

It's called cookie stuffing. Your company should have done your research before doing affiliate marketing and taken steps to prevent this kind of fraud.

I hate blogs that don't have comments enabled. What's the point?

Amen. I knew of affiliate managers and their employers (CEOs of companies) who knowingly allowed certain types of activities for high-rollers and openly condemned it for the rest. Affiliate marketing is a shady industry where the only person who benefits is the scumbag who started his own program and succeeded at attracting a few large blackhatters to promote some offers. I've been on both sides of that fence as a publisher and an advertiser. ( I guess I should mention that advertising pays quite well and takes far less work once everything is set up ie. coreg)

I have the exact same experience. Coasted on FB viral apps for a while, some days making 10K+ then the crash. Felt shitty when I had to find a job again and do the 9-5.
