Yes, that is a GREAT thing, but here is the deal..... let's say I join your program as an affiliate and in the Affiliate Terms and Conditions (yes, I actually read those
) it states that I AM NOT allowed to post links on any "password trading sites, warez sites, etc." otherwise my affiliate account will be terminated and I will not be paid. Well. that means that I cannot go to my friends that own the password trading sites and tell them to pull the links to your site and put up our own "marketing" links or I will risk getting banned by you as an affiliate and I won't make any money..... (I hope I am making sense so far?)

This is one of the forms of "marketing" that I am talking about. However, without the Site Admin's prior approval you will either get banned very quickly for doing this or develop a reputation as a scammer.
Bottom line: If program owners would just authorize people like me to make deals with these types of sites, it would work out well for everyone involved (except the people looking for free passwords
); instead of just forbidding people to even deal with them.
