I read every reply/comment posted to this original thread and am more confused than ever, can't really tell if most you just don't like AFF or or AFF is really shady as indicated.
I have been a affiliate for AFF since probably 2001, never really promoting them that much other than having a link out there here and there, that I really have forgot about until I get a check every once in awhile for a link I posted somewhere I can't even remember.
But in the last two weeks a AFF rep personally contacted me and informed me of how much similar site(s) like mine(similar traffic etc) were were earning $100's of dollars per week and she skillfully convinced me to give the AFF some good real estate on my site so she can watch how it does, so I did.
(No I was born at night, but not last knight, know what I mean) so know I don't believe everything just because some one says so..I'mma ole school brother been round da block a few times
I also see big name sites in my niche, that just about all of them now have links to AFF on them so that kinda suggested to me that the program was working for them (and they haven't heard about this shadiness it seems) and I send traffic to them anyway so why not get 1st shot at any AFF business myself..but now the comments here have me confused because I do not really see any real proof being offered to take to the bank per say..and to feel sillier I have no clue what you guys are talking about "Zango"..or AFF promoting CP...is AFF US based, and I don't see any major US based company escaping the Feds if they are related to CP in anyway?
My other question, is AFF only being slammed in adult webmaster forums or is there even more fuel for the fire to legitimize any of these complaints or facts on their operation etc..
I also promote Penthouse and can't see them taking such a chance with their reps id AFF is really this bad a deal to aline with..and that's the wrong word for me "aline" cause if any programs don't make me any money I drop them anyway
Most of you sound like you have pay or membership required sites, which is not how I have generated any success(haven't made as much money as mosyy of you though probably too..LOL) but I'm still out there.
My site always been free and will be unless something changes in the near future and I think after almost 9 years I got a pretty good feel on running a free site..

Just trying to get a line on what is truth or what is just irritation?
