Stupid, most of the spam domains previously reported by cyclone are owned by a casino affiliate program itself so no surprises why no action is taken.
The right thing to do is to NOT PROMOTE THEM. (As already done by big / bright webmasters anyway) and to bulk REPORT THEM to search engines. :shooter:
1. This casino affiliate program have no moral and are DESPERATE for players since NO SERIOUS BIG WEBMASTER trusts them or promotes them outside their own bullshit blog spam sites.
2. I have NEVER seen ONE advertiser promoting them in the past in Google Adwords or Overture … There is absolutly no reason why an affiliate would promote them at the top of all his sites (each time by creating custom Ids for each domains)
3. The only place I tried their affiliate program is on Overture France cause casinos are very rare in french.. Their conversion is Pittyfull compared to CasinoBlasters or Tradal or Even JackPot City French or RoxyPalace. Players retension is also very poor.
4. They STEAL approx 2 PAGES of first positions on yahoo for top keywords with their ‘spammed network’ giving us and their affiliates the RESTS.
5. They harrass their affiliates as if they were in a sect and there is NO confidence to have in their stats either.
6. They carry over negative balances and according to what they told me it’d not be profitable for them not to do so. (if true it shows what kind of patehtic homebased company it is) And they even told me that if programs like casinoblasters and referback dont carry over negatives it’s because they shave … that i shouldnt trust them and i’d be better off using their program instead… yeah right, like I have started in the biz yesterday !
7. Getting paid with them is a pain, i DIDNT received my TIER 2 commission for many months. I was in percentage mode I had a strangely not performing period so by hasard they offered me a CPA mode :terms: under the SAME account i had… in order to NOT PAY my old players % and to restart from ZERO with the CPA, it’s exactly what they did !
I have leaft their affiliate program :flush: by simply removing their banners and even not expecting to get paid… It wasnt that easy though, I started to receive phone calls from them barely EVERY BUSINESS DAY and some emails… I have changed my phone number for a confidential one and I do sleep very well now.
I would not post this message if I’d not knew other SILENT webmasters who also had bad experience with them…
oh and both http://www.socoplan.org/ and http://www.gold-online-casinos.com/ have the same design… now thats cheap … the funny thing is a guy i know have been offering that template by that casino affiliate program cause he was starting in casino business and needed a portal.
We see nothing in Canadian law that forbids someone to complain about foreign / US companies over the net, what a good country eh! I have NO contract or obligation… But sorry if it scares some auto-censuring members of CAP. I suggest you to keep talking about weather and it’ll pass..
If you run a profitable/honest casino affiliate program there is no reason/interest to spam like desperates or to even allow it in the first place… Honnest affiliate programs are LONG TERM because of their spotless reputations and credibility and they don’t beg top affiliates to promote their casinos.
Note: don’t spam me your Valium referals I dont need it… I always had very good experiences with all other casino affiliate programs : Referback has been some kind of :santa2: Santaclauss to me while Casinoblasters a streaker elf in tutu… and others are my 2005’s resolutions ! :cheers:
