Re: So why all the hate for Rakebrain?
its abundantly clear that rakebrain bought RRR, i imagine they wanted to recoup some of their investment by still allowing advertisers for a while. shortly before RRR announced it wont allow advertising, a respected affiliate sent out message to all RRR advertisers stating 'we know what you guys are up to, that no matter what we bid, rakebrain will be listed higher...' many other affilaites responded to the email airing the same concerns. most of the advertisers pulled out for the crookedness of placement, shortly after RRR announced it was no longer allowing advertisers. the email from them)RRR) was comical, it stated they werent receiving as much in advertising income as they had planned which necessitated the change in the site. that seemed odd as they were receiving 5k-7k from the top two advertisers alone, albeit, they were owned by the same people so no money was changing hands. the whole thing is a shammy mess, they acted anonymously when purchasing the site from john, he was proud of RRR as he should be. it was his creation and he wanted its spirit to remain as it changed hands, which i believe(this is my interpretation here) they assured him.
the main problem is that RRR is known to be the unbiased rakeback affiliate directory, and it hasnt been that way since ownership changed hands. so visitors will go to the site, due to its search engine positioning and be recommended only two sites...........
seems we now need a RRDR (rake rebate directories review).................. maybe moondog wants to take up that idea, i think john is busy with his current job [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
