"This site is not responsible for content of ad" I never really noticed this

warning before until a mylotter started a post about clixsense running ads for scam sites. This brings up a very good question - should sites be responsible for checking to see if the site is a scam BEFORE running the ad? If sites start doing this it will take a lot of time to "research" other sites to see if they are scams. I am just trying to see both sides. What do you think?

No, they shouldn't be responsible for the legitimacy of the site. However, they should be responsible for the safety of the site. To verify that it does not contain a virus or any inappropriate material.
People need to take responsibility for what sites they decide to join, not the admin of a website. They merely ask you to view, not join.

Ah, I hear ya! It annoys the crap out of me that it's so high. I've never written a check though, so I don't know how much it costs.. but I assume it's not $3! If it's anything; maybe just the cost of the check itself?
I'm surprised that high amount is still in place. It seems like a lot of people would quit the site (I've known a few) simply because the money was so low in itself, then $3 taken out of their profit just makes it no longer worth it.
I can understand using checks so you verify personal home information, to ensure fraud is limited (Paypal accounts are easy enough to create, I imagine). But it's their only form of payment, so that makes it so much worse. We have no options on that site! Not even for loyal members. (The first cashout should be check, then Paypal should be available for more)
I suppose you're right - that must be a nice profit considering how many members they have; especially if a lot of them still have their minimum set to $10, so they cashout often and the site is pocketing that fee more often.

Well many people are not aware that new rules went into effect on Dec. 1st and they are clamping down on internet marketers! I have some good connections in this area, and there are even seminars on the new rules! I found a free disclaimer site: http://209.204.219.152/free_disclaimer.htm and would strongly advise everyone to put this on their site page! Keep em legal!

Right if your promoting a site that promises you can earn $1000 a day you have to CYA or you can get in trouble, another thing is testimonials if you have your cousin say he's earning $1000 a week using your program or one your promoting you have to have the disclaimer or you could be toast! It just became effective Dec 1st so there's a lot of buzz going around about it!

I'm no expert I'm just a normal or semi normal guy like you! (or gal) But I'm only relating to all that there's a new law. as slow as the feds move at least their addressing some issues! But this only pertains to the USA, and that's also a problem! What good is a disclaimer? Say I was a scammer, since I'm all ready committing a crime why not throw up a disclaimer to boot? Right? I'm just the messenger, this is an on going problem and at least they are showing us they aer aware of it! Lets hope they nail a few people and give them some healthy fines and even some jail time, and make sure it's well published so others see it! That's all we can hope for at this point! tdemex
