7.12.07 Turning down Linkshare![]() Linkshare spammed us in the late 1990s, something I recollected in an article in 2002. In my reply email today: I am afraid we must decline. In the late 1990s, we left Linkshare as an affiliate and your company continued to spam us 24 times despite removal requests via email and cease-and-desist letters (in the plural) from our lawyers to your Broadway office. We were shocked to note this level of unethical behaviour from you and how formal letters mean very little to your company. Your company only promised to cease its spamming when we contacted your merchants. Earlier this year, we wanted to see if Linkshare had improved. A 2004 PC World article revealed that it was identified for spamming by another group. I don’t know how long our boycott will last, but if in six years nothing had changed and I gather the same chap is in charge, then I cannot imagine much has changed in the last three. Whenever I see linksynergy.com links on a website I almost worry for its publisher. We’d prefer regular Amazon.com and Tradedoubler, anyway. Posted by Jack Yan, 10:01 ![]() ![]() Comments:
