No, that is different. But in the early days there weren't urls on affiliate content or banners. As that changed the deal became worse for the affiliate who saw 1% of impressions leak out for free to the sponsor. I'm not sure I would call it criminal but it is unethical and largely taking advantage of the ignorance of affiliates even though practically everyone does it.
I guess that is part of the reason why most adult paysite affiliates are long gone. I won't put up another piece of content with someone else's url watermark on it from now on. But then again I don't even use sponsor content. It's largely worthless. No one seems to want it. They want the whole thing for free.

No, actually it's the same. Without sponsors making money off of webmasters work there is no sponsor, there is no revenue, there is no pay check showing up weekly. This whole thing works because we make money with sound business decisions. Do you think we pick these numbers out of a hat? Calling it unethical to brand OUR OWN CONTENT is ludicrous. Why shouldn't we brand it? We paid for it, not you. We pay webmasters to get our brand out there, which is the whole point isn't it?
You can knock off the ignore act. We all know you read everything anyway. You are a masochist and enjoy the daily abuse it seems. Why else would you start daily troll threads about aff programs and lie about not being and affiliate anymore... We know you are, we know you can't sell, we know your numbers are completely conjured. Move on.
Oh, and I think most of our top sellers use either fhg's or 'sponsor content' in one form or another and hit me up quick if there is an error or something doesn't look right. It obviously still works.
