Just a question, but how is a link like www.chrisknight.com/pips.html (example only :)) an “affiliate” link? I’m only asking, because I didn’t consider that as one until I read your post.

100% of every domain that was sent into our system with a pips.html ending was clearly a Plug in Profit affiliate link.

I’m open to the possibility that a legitimate person could be tossed if they use pips.html in their URL… but for the price of saving a couple hours a month of not dealing with PIPS authors plugging their affiliate links, I can live with it.

You know, the real issue here is that the greater majority of the PIPS aff link pushers send in articles that are not original works. We don’t have time to review rehashed & recycled articles and thus our no aff links policy keeps the greater majority of it out of our site.

Only about 10-15% of the articles that come in to us that plug any affiliate links are really good quality original articles. It’s a shame we have to toss them in order to keep out the 85% that send in rehashed garbage.
