Alright who ruined the Ikea Gift Card offer...?

There's been a storm of negativity and press releases about how the $1,000 Ikea gift card offer was scamming people and it was done through Facebook. I think it was a little over 40,000 people signed up for the offer...big pay day for who ever ran it but now Ikea is investigating.

CPA and affiliate marketing will definitely become more transparent and known as time goes on.

Or do you think this issue will just die down?

My bad....just playin

This trend is a good thing though. I am a huge believer in making sure everybody wins in any transaction, ie the buyer, the seller, the affiliate, and any other middle men.

Weeding out the really scammy offers is just fine to me

I don't promote scams either. It's not necessary when we have plenty of good products to market. So it's not a problem for me as well.

However, if it starts happening more often many CPA offers will suffer, mainly free trials.
