Clickbank is spam slime

I’ve been getting slimed with lots of spam from sites at Clickbank.net. They do provide a page for making complaints, which clearly means that they know they are being used for spam. The response to my complaint was unsatisfying; they wanted to read the spam comments (which, clearly, I kill as soon as they pop up like the bits of barf that they are). I hate spammers. I hate Clickbank. I urge you all to search your comments for “clickbank”, copy them and send them to Clickbank, and then kill them. Anyone who enables spammers is a spammer.

    So you’re suggesting that affiliate marketing is not a legitmate business model? And by extension, amazon are spammers since they have an affiliate program?

    C’mon Jeff, you know more about the internet than this.

    No, Adrian, I am OK with affiliate marketing. I am not OK with these slime coming into this blog and creating spam comments only to give them links to their slime sites. That’s spam.

  3. Adrian,

    I think that Clickbank has been really grat for a lot of reasons. The primary reason is that it has opened the doors to many website owners who have never taken advantage of making money online through affiliate programs. I guess you could say this for other affiliate network sites as well. As far as spam is concerned, I’ve never experienced a problem with clickbank.

    Thanks,
    Michael
