nope, a careful reading reveals top notch word smithing, one of their truly outstanding skills.

nothing illegal about adware… unparalleled is such a squishy adjective…

an interesting and legitimate question for their prospects to consider, regarding their claims, is… where did your compliance team gather all that experience you claim to have?

For example, CPA Empire may be an expert at email marketing and ringtones, based on its prior efforts there. Maybe CPA Empire has something useful to offer as to compliance in these veins.

But as to spyare and adware, I can't find evidence of much excellence at CPA Empire. My AutoTester has found 600+ incidents of spyware sending traffic to/through CPA Empire, as I mentioned in the linked piece last month. Google searches for [spyware site:cpaempire.com] or [adware site:cpaempire.com] both come up empty. Now, provision 5.D. of CPA's Affiliate Terms & Conditions, http://login.tracking101.com/agreement.html?CLIEN… , does prohibit "engag[ing] in, disseminat[ing], promot[ing] or otherwise distribut[ing] any Offer through the use of contextual media, specifically downloadable software (also called adware, pop-up/pop-under technogies …)." I give CPA Empire credit for this rule; some other CPA networks openly admit that they still allow adware. But how well CPA's no-adware prohibition enforced? Not well at all, based on my 600+ automated observations.

Perhaps CPA Empire will in due course say more about the promised focus on compliance. They certainly have plenty of work to do in that regard.
