yes I’m very upfront with my surfers and I don’t have a problem with telling them I’m making a commission but some people like to hide that fact and some even go to the trouble of cloaking their links to not show the aff code.
Having said that: personally I don’t care to drum it into the surfers ear either about the way we make money, I try to just mention it and move on, so as to cover my butt about being upfront; but not to keep sticking in my surfer’s face that I’m making money off them.
So what I think is that it looks much more professional and beleivable if its the casinos that are the ones to post a disclaimer about the cookies and as I said; its in their own best interest to do so; IMHO you can never go wrong by being honest with the surfers no matter what the possible cost might be; so in my mind there is little to be lost by the casinos for putting something like this up on their websites; and much to be gained because as I stated earlier if people see their cookie come up under the “severe” column on a spyware program they might decide the whole casino is a risk and uninstall it.
I am however going to go ahead and put up something about this on my sites; but it will have much more impact if done on the casino sites IMHO. But like Max says, it ain’t costing us much to throw up a small paragraph.
