Scam Sites

Stop Promoting Scam Sites.

I am getting sick, discouraged and tired seeing scam sites grabbing the first spots on the clickbank affiliate marketplace. Just have a look at the "money and employment" section of the clickbank marketplace. Is this the kind of money affilates want to make ? Shouldn't we all have some ethics here ? How long will it take before any "unhappy" customer associates clickbank products with these types of scams ? The thing that amazes me most is that affiliates are getting blind just because the product is listed at the number 1-10 spot. Is this really the only thing that matters before an affiliate decides to take the gamble ? Clickbank should start introducing an independent counter (quite easy to accomplish by means of a transparent pixel) to reveal how many times a clickbank-link has been exposed before someone made a purchase. This way, all affiliates would have a certain idea on how well a certain product performs (no mater how much traffic a certain site gets) . All the rest (especially that gravity number) is plain BS.
