I got an email from them saying that currently the only download they offer now is a toolbar for their members. It does not drop any cookies or contain any affiliate links – it is simply a search tool.
What do you guys think? Thanks |

Hello! I have an affiliate that applied to our program, with this url: The webpage looks like a parked domain, but the first link and ad is:
MyPoints™ - Earn Rewards Earn Rewards for Shopping Online. Join MyPoints™ Free Today. MyPoints.com Do you think that this particular affiliate is masking his affiliation with MyPoints?

If it is a parked domain, the site owner may not have control over what ads show up on the parked site.
Is this the only URL they have provided? If so, you may want to contact them to see what their plans are for the site, reinforce the newly established anti-Parasite policy, etc. You can keep them pending while you clarify what their plans are and how the plan to promote your company. Plus, it opens up a line of communication that may be worthwhile long term. Hope that helps... Paul

MyPoints is still a parasite imo. Their parent company is currently under federal investigation and MyPoints is named for using bad business practices.
The web hosting arm of the parent company is netzero, I dare you to try and find a phone number to talk to someone on that site, impossible UNLESS YOU PAY BY THE MINUTE. gtfo... |
