do you join with the affiliate links given to you?

I have joined some sites without links. I have also used links send to me by family and friends or even people from mylot or gather.com as well. I think that if someone is using a site and they think it is good it is worth me taking a look. If the site looks interesting and I want to give it a try I like to give the person who told me about it credit. I hope that my friend and people I know on other sites use my links when they sign up for a site that I recommend. I am sure there are tons of people out there who just sign up with out giving any one credit. I do not have many referals but that is ok with me. I joined some sites and then found out they were not for me and just let them go. I am sure the person I signed up under are sorry that I stopped doing the site because they are not making nothing off me. At least I did try the site before I let it go or cancelled it. I think you should always give credit where credit is due. I like to post on discussions of people who post on mine or who check out my associated content articles. I figure that we are all here to help each other. If you are a member of associated content you may want to send me your name on the site and I will gladly look at your articles. If you are not a member you may want to check out the site. associatedcontent.com Good luck.

Well i think I use to be like that a few years back. Until i realised how much money and time people put into a program inorder to make a profit. SOme people also rely on these programs to eat everyday and imo it's wrong not to help them out. I know the excitement I get when i relaise someone is referraled under me.The people who delete the person's referral Id's imo are just jealous and don't want notthing positive to happen to that person. I know I was but I'm better now. Good Topic :0)

I totally agree with you friend..Its very hard to get referrals and to promote our site,the business is growing very vastly though. I have my new blog on money making .. :)..if possible have a look at it.. thank you http://getcash4me.blogspot.com/ hope you would join..

I joined this site through the affiliate link which I have found on the blog about money making online. This guy was a stranger to me, but I didn't delete any affiliate from the link and joined as it was, so I guess he will get something for bringing me to this site.

I am a very skeptical person so I do not join many affiliate programs. I may end up missing out on some good ones along the way but that is another discussion... To answer your question. If I receive an affiliate link, I use it. I want the person who told me about the site to get full credit. That is how it should be :) - Mike
