Everyone, including some BHW members have been a buzz about 1on40.com.

I told everyone not to waste their time as it was just a massive (but really brilliant) lead generation scam.

They now claim millions of signed up clients, and I don't imagine any of them will be getting that top ten rank on google.

I signed up as an affiliate, waited, and sure enough, this email came today:

Our back office site stats
We have over 24,000,000 internal page impressions (pages viewed)

Frigging genius, I bet they'll make a killing selling ad space, sending affiliate emails, and selling their lists to other advertisers and all thanks to thousands of affiliates building their list absolutely free.

What exactly was the scam? Getting a ton of people to become affiliates and promote this site and then just profiting from the affiliates' work without giving anything in return?

They are hosting on PowWeb, which uses FreeBSD and they are using nginx http server.
 
My question is, did any of the affiliates who drove all these thousands of sign ups a day ever make any money :)

I doubt it

......but I'm sure 1on40 is really greatful for the thousands of dollars a day they are making pimping that list.
