I would think that merchants would be fairly ticked off as well (I know I am).
Merchant direct sales paying commissions on what would normally be direct sales (i.e. no affiliate) and their affiliates getting the result of their hard work ripped off as well. This kind of activity would be very difficult for a merchant of any size to stop outside of dropping the network altogether. I wonder how many "cloak" sites are operated by the parasite company in order to hide themselves from merchants? I know I've said this one before, but, just keeping this kind of poaching out of a merchant's affiliate lists is time and money consuming. The only real way is to load every parasite program (some of them weekly) and testing to see which affiliate id's come up. Then can the "hidden affiliate". Oh, I'm sure there are plenty that are direct and in the open. But how come I've got this sneaking suspicion that this is exactly the kind of thing a parasite group would do to keep plenty of merchant commissions in their pipelines? |

Even pepperjam gets overwritten. Like I said, no rubber stamps.

Yeah I thought they weren't supposed to do anything if we have the afsrc on our links?
We have known Linkshare loves parasites for a long time, they are the network of choice of Shop At Home Select.

If you can show a merchant that they're popping on their PPC campaigns it would be more effective as they'll see for one sale, they're paying Google (or Yahoo, MSN), plus Linkshare the affiliate, and plus the Linkshare the network. (plus monthly LS account fees)
If their cost per sale is 25% (about average) on PPC, and they are paying 10% comm, plus the %3 network fee on the same transaction they'd see that the sale that's supposedly referred by OneCause is actually costing them more than 38% of the order amount! Your bottom-line, scraped by Linkshare! |

Michael, yes that is correct. Messer specifically said because he would bind cos to be compliant via their contract so he and Abe Hsuan made the grandaddy of all contracts ... the same contract they they themselves are in violation of - as evidenced by the videos and the contract as posted above.
But, even you add afsrc=1 to your overstock and other LS links ...for protection ... http://www.amazing-bargains.com/j/ov...0.html?afsrc=1

To promote parasites in their network was already bad but to become a parasite and to steal directly our commissions is an other story.
I wonder if Hiroshi Mikitani is aware of what is going on with LinkShare USA. I'm waiting for the excuses of these two thieves Jonathan Levine and Yaz Iida. |

I've been (rightfully) calling Snare a bunch of crooks since about the year 2000! This is just more proof.
Glad I ripped their links down years ago.
