Tips: Most Importantly, Stay Legit
Sam HarrelsonAffiliate Programs, Hacks, Scum, Tips May 17th, 2007The lure of quick and easy cash might be appealing in a seemingly anonymous digital world. However, if you are a new or old affiliate, it’s important to remember that there are others in the industry (especially affiliate manager) who have seen it all.
Affiliate managers, for the most part, do pay attention to stats and can pick out a scam much quicker than many people give them credit for.
So, as you’re reading blogs and forums trying to find a new and profitable way to do your marketing, keep in mind that you are not doing business in a vacuum…
In case any aspiring dregs think this is some new, clever idea, it’s not. The affiliates at the bottom of the barrel have been engaging in this sort of thing for a long time.

“You must be so proud dude, you got a nice, young kid suspended from college. You are a hero buddy, thank f**king god for you.”
Comments like this (towards Shawn) need some adult responses for others to learn from. This goes way beyond affiliate marketing and ethics. In this case would the answer be.
He (the kid) will probably be thankful one day for this, because he had to experience the consequences of his wrong doing early in his life when punishment is not as severe yet as it will be when he is an adult.
If this would become the kids career path, a suspension from school would look like a joke, when being caught and charged with fraud. How does a few years of accommodation at a government paid and secured facility sound? Breathing “filtered” air for a while.
