    Banned from Darkblue.com

    I signed up for darkblue.com about a month ago and was getting decent click-throughs on parked domain names (about 800 of them).

    The other day I went to check statistics and got a message that I had been banned from darkblue.com. I emailed them to ask why, but haven't gotten any reply.

    Anyone else have problems with darkblue? Any idea why they might not have liked my traffic?

    Anyone have any per-click type affiliate programs to recommend?

    I am experiencing similar shenanigans. I have been running an ad on a high traffic site. I decided to click on it (for greencards) only to get popup after popup, search results and affiliate links to other greencard service providers. I wrote support, and I'm waiting to hear back.

    Don't click on any of these ads, but to give you an idea, try going to the affiliate link, and you can see how their system is "working" for me.

    I am running the following campaign, on a high-traffic domain I have.
    I thought DarkBlue was a legitamate advertising network.
    But I am getting redirects, popup-ups, and competing ads for the same product.

    Can you please explain this?

    I'm pretty sure that Fab. is not doing anything unethical.

    You should contact Mike. He visits DNF often.

    Using a thread over 5.5 yrs old is strange.
    Chuck is a well respected domainer that has been in the biz for a lot of years.

    That was when ppc was basically taking-off and Fab. was one of major players then and now.
    I guess Fab. and DS were the dominate players then.
    Most of the present ppc companies hadn't existed yet.

    Thanks for bringing back memories.
