    They added a HUGE list of all the blockbuster and total-access derivation words to azoogle's offer details page that must be placed under negative keywords. First offense is loss of DAY'S commissions, second offense is loss of WEEK'S commissions, third offense is loss of MONTH'S commissions and banning from future partnerships with blockbuster.

    There goes that campaign.... :-\

    Even with the restrictions, AZ affiliates are still bidding on the trademark ...

    Wow... this news truly SUCKS. Oh well, anyone want to buy my site, www.BlockbusterTotalPass.com for only $5000? I'll throw in all my Blockbuster keywords I used in advertising... and best of all, you won't have ANY competition from any other affiliate marketer :D

    I say everyone quit blockbuster ads until they decide to switch back to the normal prices and keywords.

    Actually, I just looked at the Blockbuster offer on Azoogle myself and it says:

    On Yahoo & Google Blockbuster.com must be in the 1st search position for any keyword that has “blockbuster” in it. The following are examples: blockbuster, blockbuster.com, blockbuster video, www.blockbuster.com & blockbuster total access. Search bids MUST be reduced to the minimum or you will not be allowed to run the offer.

    And also, I looked at the offer mentioned below and it doesn't say you can't bid on them, it says that Blockbuster.com has to be in 1st position.

    On Google.com, BlockBuster.com must be in the 1st search position for the following keywords: block buster, blockbuster video, blockbuster online, blockbuster movie & blockbuster total access.

    the search-only ones aren't like that, they list 9990813756981375913 keyword derivations that you have to add to negative keywords. i mean, i'd add them to negative keywords and run this blockbuster promotion in limited exposure using generic dvd rental keywords, but there is no way in hell im taking the time to separate all those keywords into lines or comma separated values so that i can enter them in my campaigns. they could have at least done that ahead of time...


    also, if you do a yahoo search for blockbuster and related keywords, there are still tons of people running the offer... either they know something i dont, or they are getting their commissions axed.
