Pay Per Install - ZangoCash?

Thanks for coming to post Ben. I have tried to reason with this guys about issues like this before. Most get it, some don't care as long as it puts money in their pocket.

For those that don't know, Ben Edelman is THE expert on spyware, adware and parasites. Since Ben does not have enough posts to have a sig, once again here is his site and just one of his research studies into 180 who owns Zango.

What if a company makes and distributes a toolbar like this:

* During the installation process, it is completely clear what the toolbar does and the end user can opt in to installing it or not
* The option to install the toolbar is shown AFTER the program the end user really wanted is already installed. For example, they download a screensaver and the screensaver is installed and THEN they see the option to install the toolbar.
* The toolbar only sits on the browser window calling to the server for updates say once a week. If there's an update, it will download new buttons, or whatever other features.
* The toolbar never tracks user visits
* The toolbar never changes default page, default search, 404 errors or anything like that.
* The toolbar never shows popups of any sort
* The toolbar never redirects the end users search
* The toolbar is approved by Truste.org
* The only way the toolbar makes any money is if it's actually USED by the end user.
* The toolbar can be easily uninstalled from the toolbar itself.

Would THAT be ok to promote and distribute?

My thought is, instead of complaining about adware/spyware/theft, etc - how 'bout someone actually makes a toolbar that's acceptable to everyone and distributes it through their OWN channels properly, not allowing others to bundle it and distribute it in their own files.

Or is everyone just against distributing a toolbar just because it's a toolbar?

The thing is, it is a legitimate business model, it's just abused by the likes of Zango, etc. Why would it be so bad to distribute it using the above criteria?

Any other thoughts on how to make and distribute a good toolbar that is acceptable to everyone?

 

Make sure it doesn't overwrites cookies and links and does any other harmful action directly or indirectly.

 

if you install spybot 1.5, it wont even let you see the install screen if your using IE

 

How much do users make from ZangoCash? I say we make a thread about it saying "ZangoCash", and make DP rank for their company name, and see what everyone thinks about them. I've personally never tried them before, because of all the bad reviews that I've heard.

 

I'm thinking of using it, but WaveRevenue will be my first test.

 

When they started it was much easier to make money with them. Now it is harder since many people is watching their legal activities. Zango is trying to keep their name clean so also accepting new webmasters is more complex.

I think you can make thousands per day with them if you have business model for which is their product useful.

Also if you check how many PPI programs came to life and dead in the lifetime of Zango you will notice that it is realy oldest company now. The other one could be Yazzle. You can find more PPI programs when you search Google for "pay per install"

 

Wiseugy, there are honest toolbars. They just don't make the kind of money it takes to pay out $0.50 commissions!

 

So is zango Spam or not?
I'm an amazon aff. i'v heir of aff. commissions stolen (big $$$) doest zango have a hand in this?

 

not spyware adware LoL.It's not ethical to install all kinds of annoying ads to people's computer for money.

 

I use zango now for a while and it rocks!

Nothing. It is a part of Pinball Corporation now.

 

Zango is now Pinball Publisher Network.

 

I have an invite only PPI program. I only accept publishers who can do 500-1000 Installs daily or more. It is toolbar/adware supported yes. It is NOT spyware or malware and is currently undergoing the process of TrustE certification.
