Everything have some good things and some bad things so same goes for Affiliate Marketing ,if it's good for some then it's bad for some.
Evil can't be removed it can only be minimized ,in this case networks should strict their laws and regulation to protect their advertisers.
That were my 2cents.

You're right, there is good and evil in everything. I think this behavior is still pervasive and the networks are facing new challenges from. Mostly outside the U.S. now because of the numerous law suits in this country. Your 2 cents is always valuable mutantbull!

Yeah KJ,
Due Diligence is the name of the game here. If you don't do your investigating and do your planning, your boat will have leaks. I think this is one of the reasons we have seen such a tougher vetting process with all of the networks.
