MediaPost: Clarification: 180solutions Responds To Critical Spyware Report

MediaPost published something of a 180 on its recent story about 180 Solutions, the firm accused by a student of employing invisible pop-ups and other technical mechanisms to surreptitiously take credit for other sites' affiliate sales. The CEO of 180 Solutions said that the only reason it employs double pop-ups and hidden pop-ups is for back-end technical shufflings that do not result in 180 Solutions garnering any additional affiliate revenue.

The CEO of affiliate network LinkShare could not replicate the alleged impropriety on his own network with 180 Solutions software and said that the firm appeared to be in compliance with all of LinkShare's rules.
