For those of you who get banned you need to get a federal tax id number and reopen an account under that number. You will also have to open a bank account under Federal Tax ID number in the USA to deposit your checks or electronic deposits. It's pretty easy to get back in biz if you go that route I got caught by Cj.com and they closed my account and banned me for life recently.

It will soon include image tag stuffing, percentage drop settings and a host of other features. For now, using a well-written review post, a text link to an affiliate network and a stuffed cookie (using the plugin) you can make a good few extra dollars from those visitors who do hit the back button after reading your product review or comparison, but reluctant to click on your link. The plugin upgrades will be free to existing owners but it'll probably mean an increase in price once all the enhancements are in place.

The point was the affiliate network did nothing - hence the point of this post. Legal action is worthwhile, which is what class action lawsuits are for - and what ebay is currently undergoing with the DP network. I think it would be foolish to dismiss blackhats as some internet beggers/thieves - as some major "brand name" websites found their feet with rather "dubious" techniques - from an individual point of view, the blackhats I know are still making more money on average (that's a mean average - not median!) than their whitehat chums, but they're not in it for the long-term game. Right on for the Atheist blog btw (: Hi Michael,

You seem to be confused, so let’s clear up some definitions:

affiliate = the person doing the work and earning commission

affiliate network = the middle man network doing the bean counting and managing relations

merchant = the end payer of commissions and seller

As I clearly highlighed in this post, he was caught by the affiliate network – not sure what you mean by “host” – web host??

The point was the affiliate network did nothing – hence the point of this post.

Legal action is worthwhile, which is what class action lawsuits are for – and what ebay is currently undergoing with the DP network.

I assure you that had his affiliate caught wind of it, he'd have had his account with them suspended. At that scale, it probably wouldn't have been cost effective for them to file suit against him for return of the funds, but that doesn't mean they don't care, that's money out of their pockets without any help from him, and thus it was unearned. As far as the ethics involved, it's hard to shed a tear for major corporations when they make more money in a day than a lowly blackhat will steal in his career, so more power to the guy, I'd do the same if I had the traffic to pull it off without raising some eyebrows. your friend didn’t get his account suspended because he was found out by his host, not his affiliate.
