Zango Specifically Targeting MySpace

Finally, what we’ve needed to happen is starting to happen, Zango affiliates are starting to come forward to let us know what Zango is asking them to do, case in point, recently, Zango denied targeting MySpace, saying “Those two test accounts were actually created by one of our developers who was exploring possible opportunities, but he didn’t realize it was Zango business practice not to target MySpace,” said Stratz. “He should not have been doing this, and we want to tell MySpace that we didn’t mean to target them.”

Well, who would’ve thought they were full of crap, here is a quote from an email telling affiliates exactly how to target MySpace. What would we do without the Paperghost?

3) Myspace profiles. From what I’ve seen, this really works. Put one of our videos on to your myspace profiles and all of your friends will see it. More profitably, go to a bunch of your friends who have popular profiles and pay them (it’s up to you so much. One of my partners said 5$..maybe offer to split the money with them?) to put a Zango video into their profile through your site. This will give you hundreds of extra installs a day (this probably works even better than having them on your actual site). Source: VitalSecurity

We Say: Why anyone would still partner with Zango/180Solutions is beyond me. Merchants, wake up, like Warner Bros finally has, don’t partner with adware like Zango and we’ll all be better for it. Just remember, they don’t care about the terms and conditions at MySpace and they certainly won’t care about yours.
