aren’t those guys as bad as the old 180 solutions? Surely merchants will give them a wide birth, or am I missing the point?
Yes Zanox play as hard as they can with scumware, though they would try and make the term scumware subjective.
Basically it works like this: Zanox will work with anyone that bring them money in. When confronted they will come up with 100’s of reasons to legitimise the business (or lack of) that they bring in.
To offset any particular comment about scumware they will try and distance themselves from this type of accusation by presenting themselves as merely a platform provider. Comments like: Affiliates are required to declare themselves as “adware” vendors etc and that it is the responsibility for merchants to vet their own affiliates.
Where there is money, there is mud :-)
