paying for email lead

[wesley]

I used to like to promote programs that gave the user something free and I got paid by the email address. Maybe they got a free bar of soap or a gift certificate or something that encouraged them to offer their email address.

Conversions were good because people like useful free stuff. But lately every time I try to promote these offers, I get complaints from users that the offer is not what it seems.

For instance, the company offering just keeps spawning new screens until they do something, thus making my users angry or they make the user sign up for something but don't tell the promoter and lastly they just plain rip the people off and don't send them their stuff.

I am so fed up with these offers and I think they are becoming a negative to my sites.
