These are all lovely ideas and it's been something that's been talked about for as long as I can remember, but it's just not going to happen...As a sponsor, why should I have to foot a bill? Maybe I, along with other sponsors, simply close our programs to webmasters and just hire family and friends to build feeder sites?

I've always felt that an individual webmaster should decide for themselves what they can reasonably do and live with...if you don't feel comfortable with a certain niche, then don't promote it...don't like a certain tactic? don't use it.

You also have to remember that there are people all around the world, all with different viewpoints and value systems.

Also, who will oversee the overseers? What if those in charge have their own sites and agendas? No lawyers? sorry, as much as I hate lawyers, they are a necessity. My own lawyer has gotten me out of a couple serious jams that wouldn't have seen coming nor known how to get out of with him.

Again, these are great ideas, it's just a MUCH larger chore to even think it can be done...it's been tried before...

Besides, how well do you know your sponsors? How many make money from password sites? from spamming? from crossbilling? You might be surprised at the answer...

heheh, I got a chuckle out of the post suggesting getting more out of sponsors...it'll probably start going the opposite the next few months...with sponsors paying less...
