Man, I love this. <\/p>\n

John Reese (Traffic Secrets) just sent his affiliates an email with the subject line “WARNING: Some TS Affiliates Are About To Be Terminated” which starts off by saying that “there's a really good chance that this email will not apply to you. It's only aimed at a small number of people<\/em>“. The message then goes on to say in part…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It's completely against the TOS for our Affiliate Program to use *misleading* advertising of any kind.<\/p>\n

Well, there are several of our affiliates currently using misleading advertising — especially with Google AdWords.<\/p>\n

Anyone that's using ‘controversial' and\/or misleading headlines or ads will be immediately terminated from the affiliate program if they don't stop running these ads right away.<\/p>\n

Stuff like, “John Reese Ripped Me Off” or “Traffic Secrets Lies” etc. etc. Then of course the ad simply redirects to someone's affiliate link or a review page with their affiliate link.<\/p>\n

Are you running misleading, negative ads like this? If you are, you have only a matter of hours to kill all of these ads or you will be terminated from the affiliate program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We are working very hard to maintain the INTEGRITY of our business and we're not about to condone this type of misleading marketing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WAY TO GO, JOHN!!! <\/p>\n

In all the years that I've been an affiliate marketer, and for all the rubbish, b.s. and bogus advertising that I've seen – particularly within the Internet marketing niche – I've never seen a manager or product merchant come down so hard or so quick to curb those affiliates who use these misleading tactics.<\/p>\n

Now, I bet you can guess who is going to change her own affiliate agreement<\/a> post-haste. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
