Are ClickBank HopAd Builder vendors ripping you off?

I was just reading a thread about cloaking links in the Clickbank HopAd Builder and found an interesting video on YouTube:


It's a bit overly self-promotional in places for my tastes (like the massive arrow saying "Join my membership site!" LOL!), but the message from the video is loud and clear re: HopAd Builder... "Don't do it!"

I thought I'd put what the geezer in the video had to say to the test on the one remaining site where I use the hopad builder.

I found the same to be true as the video -- but on a much smaller scale. Maybe the educational market has more honest folks in it, I don't know. I mean, most of the products are selling for 10 or 20 bucks in many cases and I think they're mostly just pocket-money packages for grade-school and high-school teachers.

But I still found plenty of garbage sites, sites with Adsense and other leaks, and sites going straight to PayPal. I'll be removing that HopAd builder widget as soon as I post this.

I've long stopped using it on other sites because I wasn't making any money from it. Now I know why, I guess!

Anyone done the test like in the video?

Anyone had any luck with the HopAd Builder?

Curious...
