I got the Steve Walters PPP email too. I have nothing against people asking me to sign up or buy stuff under their affiliate links, but like David, I’d prefer them to be actual friends instead of acting like spammers.

And I guess this guy must be sending it to all the blogs in the same niche.

I get where you are coming from, but they shouldn’t cloak the link using URL shortening service.

Also for me it is like someone walking up to you, telling you there is this great place to go to, but if you want to find out where it is, you have to pay them money.

I don’t like being tricked, or have people make money off of me like that. Personal preference, but again, I get where you are coming from.

I think you’re a bit paranoid about tinyurl and clicking on links.

If someone sends me a link and it has a referral id in it so they might make a few bucks, I think they deserve it if they were the one to turn me on to it, whether I know them or not.

Just my $0.02 – obviously different that how you feel
