What's the deal with Platinumpartner - are they ethical? It's nice to see your article on someone else's site, but not when it links to their own site instead of yours, as the credit is supposed to.

I just came across an article I wrote last year. It's on their site but they've stripped off the footer with my resource box and link to my site.

I sent Chris, the marketing manager for Platinumpartner, an email asking to confirm how long it's been there and how much they owe me in commissions. Hopefully we can work out an agreement as this must be worth something to them.

2009 UPDATE on Platinum Partner content scammers: MY AFFILIATE SOFTWARE ARTICLE IS STILL SITTING ON THEIR SITE and this article is still ranking nicely for keywords like "platinum partner scam" :)

*Instead of going with platinum partner content stealers, I recommend you work with a fast and legit affiliate network e.g. Hydra:

They have somehow installed some sort of virus on my computer that makes their "affiliate" website pop up randomly full screen. If you are ann affiliate too, you are partly responsible for this criminality.

The music sites I've visited in their network all offer peer to peer software to unexpecting customers. I think they are a total scam.

While it doesn't mention their sites by name the Beware of Music Download Scams article on Music Download Finder describes how folks get duped.

The are the biggest scam on earth. I was their affiliate. Believe me or not, they stole sales from me. When I caught it, they started blowing smoke at me. Also, whatever I used to do on their platform, they are copying all the things I used to do and started offering to other affiliates. so ya. both unethical and scam. they are bunch of low life thieves who do not have a real identity. the owners don't even know who their dads were.

I know that their boss is called "TOM" if it's his real name.

they hide their company in the bahamas which is suppose to protect them from U.S based lawsuits although i am aware of a major major lawsuit brewing their way and i hope it shuts down their scam operation once and for all.
