Do you actually have any integrity and honour? From my small dealings with the MVC site then I would have to say I don't think so. So here is the latest trick:

Carrentals.co.uk UK Voucher Codes Carrentals.co.uk Discount Codes Carrentals.co.uk Discount Vouchers Carrentals.co.uk Promotional Codes - My Voucher Codes UK

Click a link

I believe that putting adsense on a shunt page may be against googles t's and c's...anyone know??

Also is this not against Yahoo's guidelines, encouraging clicks with the words GO:

Cheap Computers & Software Cheap ISP & Hosting Cheap Broadband at My Voucher Codes Shopping

Again can anyone confirm?

I am actually shocked of this new "IAB compliance" of this website and how networks tolerate his behavior.

Any attempt to select voucher code and/or copy it to the clipboard results in immediate opening of affiliate link in a new window.

How this is not a forced click?!

This is not just impudent and unscrupulous, but against all networks TOS.

C'mon, networks, you are destroying your own business and businesses of your merchants by tolerating this.. How long this greed can prevail?

Not from this particular individual but from affiliate networks earning from cookie stuffing.

Wake up!

The guidelines allow click to reveal when a valid code is available, so aslong as they have at least 1 valid code for each merchant they can get away with click to reveal.

i Won't link to them, but if you notice on dougs car rental page (and others without codes) the wording is different....

Also Doug, i'm pretty certain the Adsense example isn't allowed for 'normal' publishers, if he has the volume as a premium publisher this may be allowed....

Strictly speaking its not allowed but Its borderline IMHO......

What I think has occured is it looks like it is not an affiliate link to carrentals so they have put a page in betwqeen to generate a little more revenue. As not affiliate link is present they cannot be breaking rules. But I might be wrong.

My point is simply if Mark is given an inch he takes a mile. Mark do you sleep with your friends gf's and wives......legally nothing wrong with it mate....go on give it a go....ethics/integrity who cares eh?

MVC makes hundreads of thousands for the networks, of cause they are not going to do anything when he is one of their biggest affiliates.

LOL.

Wild west my friend. :tup

[dougs]

Maybe my ethics extend too far and I try not to F**K everyone I come into contact with....what you give out comes back to you.

Mark - if you ever came to sell MVC (MyVoucherCodes) and someone did their due dilligence and found the threads on this forum. What do you reckon they would do? If this does happen I wonder who they would contact.

I'm not surprised to be honest. He's a clever bloke to be fair constantly looking for loopholes etc

[dougs]

So he can't even claim he was stupid and it was an accident.

*MODERATED* then in my eyes and quite a few others they just don't want to say it in public as they work for PLC's.

No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant.

Mark looks like you are becoming officially a [moderated expletive] then in my eyes and quite a few others they just don't want to say it in public as they work for PLC's.

Doug

Don't beat about the bush, just say what you feel

[dougs]

Mark is simply a guy out to get what he can get and stuff everyone else in the process.

He made some cash from being smart in an area with no rules, well done nothing wrong with that as long as it does not hurt others.

Lots of people on this forum have gone out of their way to tried to clean up this industry, by spending lots of time/effort/money, talking to networks, merchants redoing their sites....etc etc etc. Mark does not comment, does not come to meetings and then looks for loopholes. So yes he is a *MODERATED* in my eyes

So you can sit here and whine about outing him, but ultimately he is stuffing everyone of your business's because wether you like it or not you get tarred with the same brush in the eyes of the merchants....scummy affiliate
