Sarah does not seem to be an online retailer with an affiliate program and affiliates who promote her products for her, right Sarah? Sarah, are you talking about using affiliate links on your blog to generate some income from your blog? Cheers! Carsten Hi Shawn, I am not sure if the question is a different one. Sarah does not seem to be an online retailer with an affiliate program and affiliates who promote her products for her, right Sarah?

Sarah, are you talking about using affiliate links on your blog to generate some income from your blog?

Cheers!

I have a seemingly dumb question. I'm very new to affiliate marketing, and I'm wondering if it's ethical to post about your affiliates to try to get people to buy the product. I know this is very unethical in click-generated income. My blog is not really for profit, and I have 1 affiliate (my readers aren't used to it), so I don't want to turn people off. What's your rule of thumb? I stumbled across your blog, while researching affiliate marketing. I have a seemingly dumb question.

If John Chow would have taken the time to read at least one affiliate agreement with any of the networks, he might have noticed that this is a very serious violation of the agreement. Reversed commission will be the least that you can expect to see happen with your account, if caught. Geee. First the kid from Wikedfire (or ex-Kid), now this. I know that the music industry recycles their junk, but they wait at least 15-20 years or so before they resell the old stuff as new and hip. Maybe John (Wikedfire) is right. May be its coming from those ebooks that promise fortunes and "great secrets". Maybe they should all burn (okay, delete will do too :) ).
