they're building the twisty's brand. If they're interested and dont have a direct link to click they will search for it.
I'm not one of the industry dinosaurs that doesn't believe in branding and the power of it. I'm very well aware of it. However there are many other factors that come into play here. I was once a newbie as well. I know the tricks to taking good content to make money promoting another sponsor. I know the tricks of using good content to get bookmarks to get the site growing. These guys aren't interested in spreading the name of Twistys. They are interested in AFF sales and bookmarks for their blog. They are using 1999 tactics in 2006 and thinking because it's blogs they should be allowed to get away with it. WTF is that?
