STOP Accepting Scumbag Advertisers
I seriously just need to output my anger right now. This is one of my BIGGEST annoyances as an affiliate, it just flat out pisses me off. This would only apply to paid search affiliates.

Why the hell do networks accept asshat fricken advertisers who use popups and exit pops? Holy shit. Look at it in our standpoint for crying out loud: 99% of the legitimate ad networks DON’T ACCEPT POPUPS, POPUNDERS, EXIT POPS OR OTHER SCUMBAG TACTICS.
All you’re FRIGGIN doing by accepting these ignorant advertisers or trying to monetize exit traffic yourselves is frustrating the affiliates, creating more problems and restricting them to where they can advertise.
On top of all that, DO WE EVEN GET PAID if someone happens to convert on one of these popups? I’m sure it’s all shaved clean anyway, so WTF?

Please, do us all a favor.
