Also, who said that I am not a real customer - whatever my intentions are. If your service is great - why won't I be a continous customer?
As I said in my first post - I always wondered what's behind the door number 1 - and I just found a way to get compensated a bit for doing what I always wanted to do anyway.

If you actually read the terms of service of every affiliate program you'll find this activity totally precluded, even on rev-share type accounts. What you say sounds nice in theory but could never be a reality. Under the guise of doing this to make money, the sponsors don't have a chance of anything ever recurring. Insult to injury is the chargeback risk - that you or anyone else might ultimately decide that you don't want to pay the bill when it comes.. or that six months down the road you want to chargeback 10 items from each of a 5 month period. That seriously costs the sites, not just the dollars, but it puts their merchant accounts at risk.
