I just came back from the Affiliate Summit in Boston. The show floor was full of merchants looking for affiliates, and networks looking for both publishers and affiliates.

At one point during the day, a pretty young lady approached me, said “Hi”, and put a flyer into my goodie bag as she asked me to take a look at it.

“Sure”. And she walked away.

When I got home I was going through the bag and found the flyer she had given me.

It was for an affiliate program I’m not going to mention.

What is so bad about it?

It’s a dating service for married people. Their slogan is, and I’m not making this up, “Thou shall make money from adultery.”

Now I suppose there is a market for this. And it pays very well at $249/sale. But I’ll be damn if I’m going to promote the concept of adultery.

How many marriages does this thing wreck? Who would put a giant “Blackmail Me” bulls eye on their head by joining this?

How much pain and anguish are created for the sake of a commission. Talk about blood money!

Who would mail their list promoting something with such a low morality quotient?

Disgusting. And I just had to vent about it.
