2008 | Hostgator.ws | Hostgator affiliate site | “One of the most brilliant affiliate offers. Built a free ebook on “”how to get money online”” where people learned how to build niche sites. Got lots of commissions from affiliates, but then Hostgator reached out to sue me of using there name the same way they do but in an affiliate context. Had to shut it down but made about 8K from it.” |
