Dunno if anyone here is using this company (didn't show on a search), but they seem to already have a bad reputation. So I thot I'd pass this along, see below...
Affiliates Beware of Nerd Pass!
Nov. 5, 2009
Posted By: Ryan Rayzer
Nerdpass runs an affiliate program that I would seriously think twice about before wanting to do business with them. Want to know why? Well the first time we heard of them was a lawsuit.
Of course the company themselves sent out the press release, proud that someone was suing their asses for doing something stupid. Now comes news via Twitter that one of their peeps is in jail and rumor has it, this isn?t the first time.
It seems that on Tuesday someone named "Ugly" from Nerdpass was arrested in Miami-Dade County for grand theft of a vehicle in a 3rd degree, drug possession, and a charge of intent to purchase cannabis. There is another collection of charges that include theft, an invalid drivers license (aka using a fake ID), and an attempt to scam a pawnbroker.
So webmasters before, next time you think about signing up for an affiliate program just keep in mind the type of person who works for this one. Is this really someone you want to trust with your money and your traffic?
