I can`t understand this worry about the big companies and the gambling biz.
Just take a look at Commission Junction and other networks.
The largest corporations in the US (and world) are looking for affs and quality sites.
The net is just too big.
Right now many of the certified programs in this forum, are financially strong to delete all affs and market for themselves .
The only reason because we are here is that the net is a NEW CONCEPT.
A segmentated retail market very hard to reach.
