Sooo ... Is affilate marketing on the way out then

Can't wait for the sure-to-come, "The End Of Affiliate Marketing" report to be unleashed on all of us affiliate marketers soon.

Soooo ... are that many people REALLY that "stoopid" that they don't understand when they're being sold to? I know there is soooo much online abuse out there but MOST of these people still seem to be unable to fend for themselves and take responsibilty for their own actions.

Sheesh ... TOO many people are their own worst enemy. I'd comment more but I like Lynn and the people in this forum too much.

OK ... Off my

Very interesting... and I imagine we'll hear much more about it as we head into the New Year (2007). I just read that PayPerPost will now be requiring a full disclosure of all bloggers -effective immediately. It will be interesting to see who follows suit, and whether this will become as big a turning point as CANSPAM was for internet marketers...
