    Why open affilate programs will close soon...

    As a business you are responsible for the actions of your independent contractors *if* you do not show discretion in selecting them... Didn't some program recently lose $4mill because a renegade affiliate spammed some newsgroups?

    To me this says -- "Goodbye open affiliate programs..." if it means being responsible for one anonymous prick that will take you down bigtime.

    I'd like to hear the opinion of a lawyer on this with regards specifically to affiliate programs...

              I'm not trying to be greedy... but that's the law.

                  My affil proggies have never been open. My only affiliates are a trusted few who I trained myself.

He has other matters in his mind which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But there are other things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind."

                      Interestingly, we had better results finding good affiliates when we our program was by invitation/application as opposed to open enrollment.

                              Frankly, I've been surprised at how easy it is to become a "reseller" for most...if not all...major programs.

                                  This should be a lesson for all the affiliate programs out there..

                                      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                          Most non adult affiliate programs are MUCH harder to join and I was surprised when I started in adult that I could join any I applied for and instantly too.
