The 888 thing cost me, I am still targeted by the spammers from 888 and they are still stealing money from me and trying to destroy my rankings.
If I am going to blacklist Cpays I want some real solid goals set before hand.
If you want to set a goal of getting the Cpays management replaced, well then I’m all with you. But if all you want is just to have them stop the SEO contests... I don’t know if it is worth my time and effort, because the Cpays management will just think of some other slimy thing to do in a week or two and we will right back in the same place.
I don’t blame the dumbass wanna be blackhat webmasters, in my opinion the direct responsibility for this crap is Cpays Management, they need to be replaced or removed, they are the problem.
Every time I have looked into an affiliate program that was allowing or promoting spamming and theft by some affiliates from other affiliates, I have seen the same programs rip-off customers, every time.
Low life scum are low life scum, if they will steal from one person, they will steal from you, you
can lay odds on it. |
I don't necessarily want CPays to stop the contest, I want them to include the google guidelines as qualifying terms. That way the contest would be non spamming and in compliance with google's rules, which pretty clearly encourage ethical marketing and quality information.
Yes, being targeted by black hatters is not fun, I know all about that.
Getting management replaced is probably not going to happen, I try to set reasonable goals that can be met and will reduce spam.
So I think here the goals are to conduct a legitimate contest (and avoid another 500,000 spam entries), to clean up when there are founded complaints, and to proactively remove spam.
I think this can be obtained and will improve the image of this industry.
Ultimately it is google who will have to help here, and I just hope that some day they will allow me to help them. I am willing to do so in every way I can.
