Considering how you mentioned how affiliate links spread like a disease, I thought you were going to use alternative method for you to be able to monetize and upkeep your service, completely opting out those affiliate links... But
I thought so as well and also highlighted this in my earlier post. I guess it is ok if he wants to use affiliate links, and not if used by others
.
Affiliate links are only included in the audit sections, and we don’t push them across the site or try to drive clicks where they’re not relevant.
Placement of affiliate links is not the issue I was trying to address. The core issue is you will be depending upon affiliate money from casinos to run you site, which might lead to the very biasness, which you seem to oppose.
I do not blame him,.though. having a service like the one he is going to try to offer to gamblers and keep it up in the long term (without having to invest much money) is difficult.
Let us face it, it does not matter the nature of the business, it is always supposed to be self-substainable, and of affiliate links is the best option for this guy. So be it.
I would just like him not to talk so badly about the very single think which keeps his business afloat.
I would be the same of developing a product and at the same time bad talking about what one is selling. It just does not make any sense.
