This is a perception that was perpetrated mainly by TMM years ago. It is something i find very sad but it is a good sales technique. Truth of the matter is that with the boxed software affiliate programs out there, people can still shave with them and always have been able to. There is no difference with that matter if they use MPA3/NATS or their own homebrew affiliate program.
The onus is on the program owners to spread the truth of the matter, but instead it was always easier to just keep spreading the lie.

this is the core of the matter. being an affiliate you are in essence being a partner with teh person you send traffic to. probably a good idea to know who this is. doing business with teh right people will pay off in the long run
