Hey, i dont mind that you want affiliates to trick the surfer in to clicking ads, its all good, i just dont see how doing that is going to make surfers feel at ease with surfing porn sites.

It would seem like over the past few years we actually seem to be seeing more confidence with surfers accessing adult websites because consoles and endless loops of pop-ups have pretty much gone the way of the dodo, yet over the past 6-12 months, companies and individuals are starting to ramp up their efforts to trick the surfer into getting to our sites again.... Mostly spurred on by P2P network marketers who are already taking advantage of stolen content to generate their sales anyway.

This is only going to take us back to the days where porn sites were considered pariahs by many because they used deceptive marketing tactics with no thought to the greater damage they were doing to the industry as a whole.

If sites arent selling as well as they used to, there is a reason, and deceptive marketing techniques isnt the solution, imho.

I dont see why using the same techniques that those profiting from illegal P2P and torrent sites use puts the companies using those same deceptive marketing techniques in any different boat to those profiting from illegal, stolen content.

There is a reason P2P marketers use these marketing techniques and it isnt because they are 'innovators' its because they are no good at selling a product honestly.
