Will keep this up until I hear of more reports of deactivation - I will see if I can get an official answer from ShoppingAds.

Just to be clear here, I never said that my SA account was deactivated because of using this mod.

I assume the issue was that I only used this mod, I had no other SA ads on the site.

I am still seeking clarification from ShoppingAds - just disambiguating some terms.

has anyone heard of drivingrevenue.com ?

it looks like they do link rewriting of eBay and Amazon among other affiliate retailers

I look forward to hearing how you have got on dismounted.

This mod is mostly my sole income through shoppingads, people don't click banner, but they do click ebay links.

Have you heard anything dismounted?

Not from support - however, I have the email of someone "higher up", which I have yet emailed to (too busy :().

So whats the latest, safe to use?

I would say so, I'm still using it, and they know it and I'm still getting paid.

I spoke to SA abot this when it happened. eBay made them pare down their publishers to the top producers. (eBay has been screwy with affiliates)

This hack is approved by both ebay and SA and is fine for use. I asked specifically, and both have approved the rewrites.

Thought I'd give an update, I signed up and installed their code. So far I've earned revenue from ebay, amazon, cars.com, edmunds.com, autoanything.com, buy.com, newegg.com, zappos.com and have clicks from a dozen other retailers but no revenue. So far I'm very happy.

definitely worth a shot for anyone having issues with shopping ads

re installed i do have the shopping ads on my site as well as the rewrite , when it was first announced on this thread about people getting blacklisted , i was contacted by shopping ads personally , they asked me where the shopping ads are on my site , i thought this was a stange request but i told them and i got paid the next day. i assume they was holding my payment until they seen the ads then OK'd me.

I uninstalled this mod back then to be safe , my shopping ads revenue did all but stop completely not realizing the magnitude of effect this mod had on my shopping ads .

I have turned over a new leaf and went on a major ass kissing mode for google ads , redoing privacy policies and removing the ads on a lightly moderated forum that contains multiple topics that could be construed as a violation to googles terms of service ... did you know FIRE ARM topics are against google ads TOS ? so are racism , porn , and gambling

If you are gaining revenue from google i strongly suggest you read this blog i came across and tweak your advertising tactics to prevent from being blacklisted
