We appreciate to the highest degree all the webmasters, including you, that support our program. We work tirelessly to produce a product that sells, market to webmasters who can sell it, and support our clientel by whatever means nessecary.

That being said, we must also take precautions which are intended to protect our / client's bottom line. In this day and age, the slippery slope is one that has broadened and become a bit more complex. Our TOS prohibits the use of Yahoo groups, namely because Yahoo TOS does not "invite" those types of promotions to the groups.

In many cases, companies like ours also receive consumer based complaints. We must deal with the fallout on this type of behavior as well.

I am not calling you out personally, nor am I condemning anyone who uses the groups, I actually could care less. But when it comes to our program, we must create boundaries that are consistent with our goals of staying in business for the long haul and making webmasters and ourselves as much money as humanly possible.

We are in this for the long haul. Trust me, we, like many affiliate programs could loosen the clamps and make a whole lot of money over the next few months: somehow I doubt that is what any real business minded individuals would like to see.

Maybe not the answer you hoped for, but it is the best I can do in the way of offering an explanation in a direct manner.

Take Care,

Cory Hedgepeth.
