Ok guys whats the fix? What do we do? Form a massive boycott of 888 by affiliates who aren’t promoting them anyway? Threaten them with exposure in the London newspapers? Drop them as certified partners. Pummel them daily for weeks on end at the message board here?
888.con are smart people, with top internet skills on tap.
Their business is the internet and search engines.
THey could end this scraper plague tomorrow.
ohh … you know I can’t tell you that … or I can but it won’t be popular and I understand that there are significant business impacts …
But since you asked …
End the certification.
State that as they are unwilling to suspend black hat scrapers and plagiarists that it is pointless in ethical affiliates trying to compete and promote 888.con
So certification is withdrawn.
With a suitable press release.

How can they be CAP certified?
What does the CAP certification stand for?
It can hardly be a CAP recommendation of an affiliate program that represents fair-play and responsiveness to affiliate concerns … so what does it now mean?
