Guest dougb Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 www.ld.net/?discount i've submitted, but wonder if this would be o.k to submit. it has to include, the "/?discount" part. thanks, Dougb
dfy Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 I just tried it with and without the "?discount" and I got identical pages. A reviewing editor would simply strip it off before listing it.
Guest dougb Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Thats the problem.. If you strip it off, thats not my site. How do I get the "/?discount" included?
dfy Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 If you're saying that www.ld.net/ and www.ld.net/?discount are seperate sites, then you can't get the '?discount' version listed as it is an exact copy of ld.net. We don't list mirror or affiliate sites in the ODP.
Guest Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 This looks pretty much like a Multi-Level Marketing site. According to this section of our Guidelines none of the agent sites can be listed, like dfy already said.
Meta hutcheson Posted January 25, 2003 Meta Posted January 25, 2003 >If you strip it off, thats not my site. From the directory point of view, it's not your site even if you leave it on. It's not about you, and it's not by you. It's by Cognigen, and it's about Cognigen-supplied services. They're just using your sport jacket to smuggle their skunk into our wine-tasting party. You can have it back when they're done, but you'll never be invited to a party again.
Bluesplinter Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Yeah, everyone please note for future reference, that this is a common (and getting more prevalent) method of affiliate tracking. If you see any URLs like this, they are invariably affilate URLs.
motsa Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Cognigen is a strange setup, isn't it. If you start at the cognigen.com page (which redirects to http://cognigen.net/corporate/?foundersclubagent ) and click on products and services, you end up at http://ld.net/?butler28; on the other hand, if you strip the affiliate tag off the redirect above (to have http://cognigen.net/corporate/ ), the links to products and services go to http://ld.net/?cognigen . Then, if you strip the affiliate tags off the ld.net URL, all links take you to http://ld.net/?rnuval.
Guest Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Motsa, I tried that yesterday and today again, and I got a different agent each time. Strange setup indeed.
