Scumbag Affiliates

[Casinomeister]

Thanks to Lojo (who's on a break right now), I'm aware of a scumbag affiliate who is ripping off the Casinomeister brand.

http:casinmeister.com

It even states "Casinomeister"

What an a-hole, and he knows what he is doing; this is totally intentional.

Domain name: casinmeister.com

I'm contacting 888com, European Partners, and Casino Blasters to make sure this guy's affiliate accounts are shut down.

CAP and the GPWA are in the loop as well. If he's a member of these two organizations, he ought to be booted and banned. Just my PAB for the day

It would be more appropriate for him to rip off the CRAPMEISTER brand
There is no proper content, all the menu topics do is present the banners in a different order.

Either he has no idea that "Casinomeister" brand is already taken, or it is a ploy for the search engines.

How are YOU able to get scumbag affiliate accounts shut down so easily, yet casinos seem incapable of shutting down the accounts of the more common and annoying spamming affiliates?

It looks to me like the domain is just parked on Fabulous. All of the links on it are PPC type adds that people buy like Google Adsense. The guy that owns the site is a scumbag but the affiliate links could belong to innocent Fabulous advertisers. I'm not completely up on that system but that is my take.

IMO if it was simply parked, it wouldn't show "casinomeister" at the top....

Yeah, those are affiliate links. And their "content" pages are all crap too. I just can't frigging imagine that sites like this actually make money, and if they do, then I guess I need to overhaul my site.

You don't think he can put a title/header on a parked PPC page? I know on some you can but I don't know about Fabulous at all. The only places I see it on that site are the title and header.

The bogus whois info is enough to go to ICANN and their registrar about.

What a jerk! No worries Bryan, the real gamers will catch on and this will catch up to him

Pretty bad, the guy even put casinomeister right up top, not sure if it will be to his advantage though. Heres another freindly foe, atleast he didn't use your name on the page. http: casinosmeister.com

LOL - did you see the copyright slug at the bottom of that page - "Honest Casinos"

I guess riding on the back of the original and only Casinomeister is a backhanded compliment, but it must be infuriating to see a brand that you have built up over years of hard work abused like this.

You bet this was done intentionally. Check the way back for the domain casinmeister.com pay particular attention to the May 23, 2006 entry. Run a whois on the domain listed in the top header.

Just mere speculation but I think this may yield better results.

Perhaps?
