The ad was allowed until website owner saw it displayed.

If pretty isn't working for you, you might want to try ugly.

Scroll down the page, if you dare to see what the fuss was about.

    I hope everyone doesn't think this is something new. These kinds of ads have been running for years now.

    Is WF this far behind the times?

    And no, these ads weren't taken down because they are "ugly". They were taken down because the offers that were being promoted were scammy rebill offers.

    The only reason I brought it up was because this is probably the 4th time I've seen something like this posted and the information is either wrong or outdated.

    The spread of bad information is a pet peeve of mine. Ewen has the right idea about what to do with this information. I won't give away the entire secret here, but if there are any smart people here, you would look at those ads and take as many notes as possible.

    I've worked in that part of affiliate marketing and those ads you see moved millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars worth of product.

    If anyone has been living under a rock and this is the first time you've seen an ad like this... You need to lite a fire under your ass because you are seriously outdated and you need to catch up if you want to remain relevant.

    BTW don't take what I say as being a harsh asshole. I just don't butter people up before I talk to them on here. This is the real world. Take my advice how you want it. I'm not going to kiss your ass and play nice nice with you. Time is money.
