What I would like to know is the views of all members of cap on the following:
3) Should the likes of CAP & GPWA consider the accredation of such affiliate programs if they allow this practice to carry on unabated by their affiliates.
Hell yes. Its to the depriment to any honest Joe to help these programs in any way.
Ignore this situation and watch as it grows bigger and worse.
We are told by affiliate programs not to spam by email, yet from where I am sitting it seems that some programs turn a blind eye to search engine spamming by some of their affiliates, until they are individually reported.
yep.
