you have it all wrong as neither of those "quotes" are true:
"qayed shareef is from Traffic marketplace or Epic or whatever. www.linkedin.com/in/qayed In this article http://performinsider.com/2012/06/how-epic-media-group-fucked-affiliates/ it says "Epic Media Group aka Connexus aka TrafficMarketPlace fka Azooogle is out of business and is basically refusing to pay affiliates".
By the way, that author doesn't even appear to have all of his "facts" in order !!
I don't even know if this Traffic Marketplace even exists today ...
Qayed Shareef
Prior to founding my own company in 2012, I was the Evp of Corporate development for Traffic Marketplace and before that I served as the General Manager for Traffic Marketplace's Ad Network, where I managed Ad Operations and Campaign Management, Publisher and Business Development. During my tenure, we were consistently in the top 10 networks for reach, while working with both fortune 500 advertisers and direct publishing relationships with the comScore top 1000 sites. Additionally, I launched the mobile network, which accounted for over 100+ campaigns in 2009.
"And, here www.yatedo.com/p/Qayed+Shareef/normal/7d9f25036341a473af79dd1535328d91 it says this qayed guy was the co-founder of Ember!? And then he "acquired" it. i'm sure that'll be cleared up in the 10K."
Qayed Shareef WAS NOT a co-founder of Ember !!!
"During the 30-day market validation blitz, they forged a connection with mentor Qayed Shareef, who helped them select a suitable product: with his input, they’d build platform to solve an arcane problem that few outside of his industry would know about, but was very valuable to those in the industry. Borensztein, Sharma, and Ancukiewicz worked closely with him ever since, and will continue to do so after their acquisition.
