Ferma, can't believe I just saw this but bro, this is not only the oldest bh tactic around, it's just classic adult dating shit. I should know, I've made a lot of money using similar (not the same) tactics over the years.
But let me toss this out at you and see if you find the similarities and then tell me of the second example is any different than the first
Example 1: Horny dude looking for sex is stupid enough to browse CL, finds an ad by "a girl". "Girl" tells him to sign her age verification page. Doesn't cost anything at first or maybe just one dollar. The guy doesn't cancel the account he signed up for and gets dinged 3 days later for maybe 30, 40 bucks. The "girl" who is actually someone like me, gets "her" cut. Rinse and repeat and make $$$
Okay, Example 2: This one seems fine to everyone who slams ewhoring or adult dating.
Some girl or woman is searching online for beauty or health items. She lands on someone's site that is for a product like
(sorry don't want to direct link from BHW). So this is a very popular offer on numerous affiliate networks like Maxbounty, Peerfly, etc.
Now, this unsuspecting lady see's that it's a "free" offer!! Only pay $1.95 for shipping! What she almost certainly doesn't see is the fine print that says,
"Please send me the Hydrolyze Intensive to try risk free for 30-days. I will be billed S&P $1.99 today. With the 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, I just have to call within 30 days of receipt and then have 2 weeks to return the products to avoid additional charges. If I keep the products, I will be billed two payments of $69.95, 30 days and 60 days following receipt of my shipment. Then unless I cancel, I will continue to receive a new 60 day supply every 2 months for $69.95 per month plus $6.95 S&P which will be billed to the card I provide today. By clicking "Rush My Trial", I authorize Hydrolyze to charge my card for each shipment as described above."
So do you know how many people don't see this and wind up getting slammed for $69.95 TWICE before they realize what's going on? And even if she does, she has to return the products, pay for the shipping and then wait, and wait, and wait and wait and HOPE they refund her money. But almost nobody returns the products even if they realize what's going on. They just say, "well, I fucked up and got scammed".
Same thing applies to offers for free ipads etc. The advertiser gets the email address (that they will spam from here until the end of time) from the idiot that thinks he's getting a free ipad and the affiliate get's his/her $1.50 for every sign up when in fact, NOBODY is getting a free ipad.
This is what pisses me off about these fucking affiliate sites with their holier than thou attitude. It's fine to jerk people around for skin cream or a weight loss product but sending some horny dude to a dating site isn't.
Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to point out the similarities.
