Why are They Allowed?

    Anyone know this? Why is it that RingRingMobile.com is the only Azoogle affiliate that is allowed to use the word "free" in their ads and their content?

    Do you think that is fair? Just because I am sure they make so many conversions...

    I don't think anyone is ALLOWED to use the word free. Anyone is able to break the rules...

    Two things...

    - It's believed Azoogle is testing out the "free" thing with some high-volume affiliates.

    - RingRingMobile gets tons of traffic. Let's break it down.

    3m uniques a month. If 1:100 convert, that's 30,000 conversions a month, or around $500,000 a month. Azoogle isn't going to screw around with that.

    Quantcast is a good starting place, though not very reliable. Alexa works too depending on how high-volume a site is.

    They use the word free, but it's along with $9.99

    Here's wording from one of their ads:
    "10,000+ Ringtones! Get Free Ringtones With 9.99/m Subscription"

    I know. I wish I could do that though. I think even though they have $9.99, it is still more effective because they can use the word "free".
