Wow!
Let me tell ya, folks… it gives me warm goose bumps to see so much support! It is VERY much appreciated, and I hope you all know I’m a big believer in affiliates strength in numbers… I would be there for you guys in a heartbeat. :colgate:
I am still unsure of Tradals true intentions. I mean, I’ve been sued before and there was no warning. I always thought that if you were going to get sued the paper work just showed up and BAM! You’re served!
Tradal seems to threaten a bit much, so I feel it’s a bluff. Yossi must NOT be a good poker player, because if he was he’d know that when you do bluff, be prepared to get called…
It also seems they are almost begging me to tell them I want money. Yossi asked me twice what I thought they “owed” me. And my old account rep wrote to me after I told Yossi to leave me alone. Guess what he was asking about!
Dear J. Todd,
I am very sorry that we came to this point, this is not the way Tradal works!
to be honest with you, I really don’t remember what was the issue back there and why and how we both got to this place in which we are about to start a leagal fight.If Tradal was not a professional and honest company we couldn’t have cared less beeing in your black list. but as we are not, then we both have a last chance here to get this issue to a closure.
It is possible for me to make mistakes as I work with hundreds affiliates and sites but in your case, to be honest, I don’t know what makes you so angry with us….
I will appreciate if you could tell me what is bothering you and if you still owe you money please let me know what exactly was it for.
Thanks

Shai,
I should not respond to you. My attorney told me not to answer any more emails from Tradal.
However, for your information, Tradal is on my list of programs to avoid for several reasons that I experienced FIRST HAND:
1) Stats that do not track properly.
2) Slow payments.
3) Non-responsiveness to serious affiliate concerns in emails.
4) Abrupt and rude dealings with affiliates in person.This is not slanderous or libelous, it is first hand experience.
Tradal could have given a damn less about me or my little website (in the past). Tradal ignored me and blew me off like I was scum.
Now, my webmaster page gets good traffic and Tradal is suddenly very interested in talking… Tradal is suddenly interested in my site… Tradal is suddenly concerned about the way they treat people…
BUT, you don’t inquire about my content… no, Yossi just gives me orders… then he threatens… and you guys expect me to just roll over and do what you say? How incredibly arrogant and self-involved.
I am sick and tired of having to put up with programs who act like Tradal. Then, they turn around and want me to kiss their butts. It angers me.
I am not some insignificant webmaster anymore. Tradal will treat me with respect or I will not deal with them at all.
There has been no reply to that.
