Bottom line, the main thing seems to us to just give good disclosure, don’t lie or make false claims, and don’t f*%$ people over…anyone with that philosophy should be perfectly fine.

And yeah promoting something just because it pays well is no different to getting a freebie really.

We often get approached to promote other products and services in niches we are in (non IM) but have only ever once changed our tack because they were providing a better service.

In the IM niche, we get stuff sent all the time. How often do you see us push it? Not very often, right?

The only tiny gap, I can see at the moment in our IM arsenal is something on Twitter. And there’s so much crap around on that, that we’ll end up doing our own. More on that later in the month maybe…

(It will be a freebie as well.)

I do think that the word should be spread around though so kudos on making the post. People don’t really approach me to review their stuff but I’m thinking even though we do pick our stuff and I’m not talking about your or me in particular but affiliates who pick stuff just because it pays 75%, you know, so they give a favourable review? I think thats the kinda thing the FTC is trying to crack down on.

Oh and how about those Google Money scam fake blogs, they’re the worst and its because they’re marketing the CPA type deals where they get paid per lead. I don’t think there’s a difference between anyone approaching you to review their stuff and you choosing a to give a product a favourable review just because it pays $10 CPA.
