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?

I'll put it this way.
Is it 100% moral or right? Obviously not.
is it legal? Probably.
Is it damaging to the paysites it came from? I dont think so. do you?
Ultimately I avoid doing this as a whole, but, take a look at my blog. no page is missing an AFF bar. I still make 5 times as many sales to the sites I'm promoting than AFF tho. I think you're grossly overestimating the amount of traffic they're sending to AFF
