First post, been lurking on and off for a while now and affiliate links had been on my mind lately.

It pains me to saw this because I use affiliate links myself around the web at times, HOWEVER, I don't think all are bad. In short, my only real issue is with the "buy my course and use this hosting site to make thousands a month blogging from anywhere in the world!"

There should be a proposed list of approved sites that you can include affiliate links for and all else get flagged.

At the end of the day, those income reports from the "take my blogging course and download my e-book for the low price of $499 and only 15 minutes left before it's full" are misleading, unethical, and no one actually knows if their "income reports of $20K months blogging" are real or just copy.

Someone in a bad spot is just the sucker to fall for that, just making things worse and giving those that truly have the talent to teach a bad look.

But I digress...

So whaddya say @kaylinart ...want to help build the proposal of preliminary affliate links list of with me?

I'll start...Amazon (acceptable) - hard to see any negatives linking to 99% of the items on there.
