Are you talking about the Affster Affiliate Network?
Considering whose who are behind it, I will not bet on it.
They did more to promote parasites than LinkShare and CJ all together.
Just my opinion.

“One of the most pressing issues in affiliate marketing is addressing the badware epidemic, and giving this scourge a cyber death sentence. We have created a series of monitoring devices that compose our ParaFite Technology,” according to Michael DePaul, Chief Logistics Officer Watching Nastyware for Affster.

“The core component of AffSter’s ParaFite Technology is the flux capacitor. This technology enables us to travel back in time in the affiliate click path to determine the rightful referrer of a transaction,” continued DePaul.

Just for affiliates, there is the patented Stuffer 2.5 Technology that allows affiliates to generate over one million static pages per hour. This is a companion to the Crawling Redundant Auto-Generated Pages wizard

So, we're safe. I've been scared for a while

ROLMAO if anyone can be serious this will be anything revolutionary like a Safe Haven Network from the Adwhores... http://affiliatetip.com/news/article0058.php

"Affster.com to be Headed by Affiliate Marketing Luminary Jeff Molander

New York - April 1, 2005 -- Affster Corporation (www.affster.com) announced today the launch of the Affster Affiliate Network. The Affster Affiliate Network is result of unprecedented collaboration between affiliate marketing veterans from affiliate, merchant, and network sides of the business.

Affster aims to become the leading affiliate network by the middle of Q4 2006 under the experienced leadership of CEO, Jeff Molander. The Affster network is being billed as the affiliate network created by affiliates for affiliates.

According to Affster CEO, Jeff Molander, "Affster represents a new beginning for affiliate marketing. We will be powering three tiers of compensation, wherein CPA networks... affiliates themselves... can facilitate a deep, virtually un-ending business model.”

“This revolutionary compensation structure may appear to be MLM, but in actuality, it is a best-of-breed, end-to-end arbitrage solution. It literally has no limits and is enabled by advertisers who do not wish to be shackled by tasks such as affiliate recruitment."

All of the aspects of the Dynamic User Negotiation Gateway, link structure, tracking via the Pixel Integration Safety Systems, reporting, and the Dynamic Redirect Inclusion Variable Echo Labeling system are the result of brainstorming by a wide range of super affiliates. Affster aims to change the language in affiliate marketing, and they are starting by referring to affiliates as “valued partners” and merchants as “cherished resellers.”


Looks like the Gated Community of Dupers and their enablers decided to launch a network on April Fools Day....ROLMAO. ..."Affster prides themselves on innovative solutions to industry problems. Molander stated that “Affster will be redirecting all affiliate traffic through their Alphabet Soup Domain System, using domains like sdulsd2.com and dzleod.com, in order to circumvent the misguided anti-virus and adware companies.”

The article was attributed to Loof Lirpa. I hope that clears up any remaining confusion.

[Haiko de Poel, Jr.]

Wouldn't it be nice if some of "these people" used thier "powers" for GOOD?

Instead of supporting parasites etc?

[KGP]

haiko it would.....but as the song states.....its a wild world

[loxly]

You all do know it was an april fools joke right?

[suzigeek]

I thought that the joke was that they are a real network trying to pass themselves off as an april fools joke...

[Hawaii5]

i think it was clever the whole point like the funny acryonyms was to call attention to the problems in the industry. its an obvious joke with a lesson imho.

[Dynamoo]

Actually I've had a similar idea of a well dodgy affiliate network to partner up with Slimeware Corporation but just haven't had the time to do it yet
