agree that affiliate programs should take an active role in combating copyright theft, content scraping and page hijacking. If your SEO scheme is based upon damaging the hard work of others then this is clearly unacceptable and often criminal behavior

Could we please speak about this?

What can be done about this? Nothing but the techinques above? Just them?

As I already mentioned site approval can do nothign to help this.
How can the guy that handle approval know that the site under aproval is using stollen content or cloaked pages?

On the other hand if the T&C would be clear and once reported all his profits forfaited that can help.

If you’ve got good quality original copyrighted content that someone copies then talk to your lawyer – simple as that.

Of course, we should try to persuade casinos not to affiliate with criminals and if they don’t then the only course of action is to remove yourself from their affiliate ranks (anything less would be consorting with criminals). But at the end of the day it’s your content and you have to deal with the problem.

That’s what we are doing, no?

As already mentioned we can follow up on instances of copyright theft aggressively. If someone steals your content or is intentionally trying to damage your business legal recourse is available. Additionally you as an individual can:

* Report the offenders to the search engines they are targeting
* Report the offender to their webhost and advise them you want the person to cease and desist immediately
* Report the person to the affiliate program(s) you see them promoting
* Publically embarrass the shit out of the offenders on every forum that will allow you to do so
* Take whatever technical counter measures you have access to

Collectively we are urging our partners to NOT reward these bad affiliates and to instead cut off their incentive to do these tricks by forfeiting their commissions.

Those seem to be the main ones that are both illegal and offensive.

Just them?

Just is a broad term, what other ones did you have in mind? As I stated I am against ANY techniques that steal content, copy pages or attempt to negatively impact other sites ALA Google Bowling. I hoped that encompassed a variety of techniques that acheive those vile ends.

Thanks.

The just them? was referring to the question “can we please speak about nothing but the tings above”. It wasn’t meant to be it’s own question.

That is a good list of actions.

This is all very confusing. Can’t everyone here just go and do Travel affiliations instead and leave me to do the casino side? Then Black Hat and Copyright theft becomes irrelevant :woo-hoo:

Anyway, regarding CAP/GPWA – i think Blackhawk’s ideas of working together are good and i take on board the Prof’s statements. But if you guys could get a documented procedure – well a rough-guide to affiliate acceptance – as part of accreditation that casinos effectively adopt, we’ll all have a clear path and understand what’s good/bad and expected.
