MarkCo - here to annoy?

[shyguy0507]

thankfully my site is so small it doesn't register as competition.

Greavsie - I would also be interested, could you pm me some more information please

LTFP is being recreated (again lol)

Andy, it may be wise to create a new thread to promote your code tracking system.

Mark - You have removed one of mine, however another is still there so please remove it. Infact to be safe and not piss people off, just remove them all!

Bud - It would be great if merchants and networks took this stance, however as long as networks and merchants make money they really aren't bothered about ethics as far as I have seen so far (exc POR and Webgains).

I recall a post earlier about when my Truffle Shuffle codes were 'borrowed'. The network (Affilate Window) said they had such and such in place to stop this and to reward the correct affiliate.... since then zip, nada, zilch, sweet fa.... Too busy polishing their A4U Award I suspect, and here's me voting for them

Chris - Merchants would like nothing better than to see the law upheld and ethics applied across the board - Merchants, Networks, Affiliates.

Merchants expect this in the rest of their marketing activity from all of their partners!

However, there's not much chance of the law or ethics being upheld where a VERY small minority (only ONE that I've experienced so far) of affiliates use a brand to drive traffic to its competitors & generate themselves income, slate brands off on its competitor pages etc etc... and then complain when other affiliates use "dirty tricks" on them.

Maybe we should all be subject to public humiliation when found guilty of such transgressions - IAB officials licenced to spank bare bottoms which would be streamed on video through A4U. Maybe a bit much, but that sort of thing stopped the kids misbehaving when I was at school!

Yeah can see it on all those results and on your domain too.

Oh well, not much that can be done about it really I spose.

Bit of a bummer though.

I appreciate that you're annoyed by him Barry, but you shouldn't go calling him a bummer!

I see Mark is up to his usual tricks he has just copied and pasted one of my pages word for word, and put it as a forum post on his MVC site.

I am very upset as I am small fry site, so why if he has made millions this year does he need to lift all my copy.

I am posting this not to upset anyone but just to point out that copying and pasting blocks of content will help no one, duplicate content and all that.

[Mogga]

It'll be one of his minions who he's not trained properly. Again.

Make some print screen images and email the networks with it. do a DMCA thing with google too.


It isn't on.

[befuddle]

Hope Google doesn't punish your own page for duplicate content as a result.

Surely he has a team of copywriters now and does not need to stoop down to these levels.

Maybe you've made a comment that he didn't like?

And having a team of copywriters is pointless if you are bereft of any original thought process. There's only so many ways you can write 'discount' and 'click here' after all?

Fair comment, I have no problem with the site involved but thought but cheeky to copy and paste word for word about 500 words, I have no issue with the site and did not think i had a made a comment to warrant my site to be copied and pasted.

[Barry]

Sorry to hear it purple.

I don't think any 'comment' would warrant it ok to copy or have someone copy your site.
