Sabotaging An Affiliate Business

Kevin, it aint worth it. The spammers will eventually take you down. It always happens, sometimes its weeks, sometimes days. I finally gave up on it and you should too. There are so many other ways to make money. The warrior forum will show you at least 100 ways to make money online. yahoo answers and craigslist are your best bet.

Good Luck

Hi

I just wanted to put this out there with respect to promoting online as an affiliate.

If a bad person ever wanted to sabotage my affiliate business that I have worked so hard to build up, all they would really have to do is head over to the local public library (or any public internet access point), sign up for an anonymous yahoo or hotmail account, and send out a bunch of spam using my unique affiliate url’s.

Then, the organizations I am promoting would receive spam complaints against me, my partnerships would be terminated, and my affiliate business ruined.

Before I engage in spending considerable effort on promoting affiliate programs, I need to know if it would really be this easy for anyone to sabotage my business at any point in time? Or, is there anything that can be done to circumvent this?

Even if I direct traffic to my blog or website and somehow cloak or mask my far end landing pages, the complaints would most likely still ultimately end up with the sponsors, and most sponsors are very trigger happy when it comes to terminations.

Any solution?

Brgds,

kevin

Roundabout, i'm saying if someone wanted to be a prick and delibratey put me out of business, they can just send out a bunch of unsolicited email from a public internet access point using an annonymous email address and put my unique affiliate url's in them. Then, people would complain to my sponsor companies and they would think i am spamming and abruptly terminate my affiliate partnership with them.

These are your first two posts on the forum...? This is your biggest concern??

I don't know your situation, but I only work with a couple of networks and have worked with those networks for a long time. I have good, trusting relationships with my AM's and have met them in real life multiple times. If someone were to sabotage me in some way, I feel comfortable picking up the phone and talking to my AM's about what was going on so that I don't get screwed.

If you're a fly-by-night affiliate doing shady shit where one of your major concerns is some sort of sabotage, you probably need to step back and try and figure out where your business plan went very very wrong.
 
It's clear by your unfounded fears and the amount of time you've spent on this post that you should spend time reading some of the posts here. You'll learn a lot.

Once you've done that, you'll realize that for the most part, the people who would be capable of destroying your affiliate marketing efforts are busy producing their own revenue. Unless you happen to sleep with their wife, then all bets are off ;)
 
Aff marketing sucks not worth getting into it better to stay away from it as much as possible or spammers will try to sabotage your ass.

take care bro
