I would say that IF that is the exact term you used then of course you did NOT send any new sales to Dirty D that he wouldn't have already had.

Now if you used variations then yes that would be acceptable.

But if it was just "crack whore confessions" then that is traffic that he already ranks number one on Google for and represents signups that he would already have gotten.

No need for the surfer to search through pages and pages...he's number one for his own site name.

And for continuing the Ad Words campaign on that specific term and trying to send traffic somewhere else...bro, you know that would be a huge money loser. If somebody is SPECIFICALLY looking for the site "Crack Whore Confessions" they aren't going to buy another site that you send the traffic to. It's all about targeting it.

I would say that if you did an ad campaign for the term "Crack Whore" or any variation then you could say that's ok. But the actual site name isn't really putting any NEW eyes on his site...which is what we are paid to do as affiliates.

On another note...I see lots of TOS that forbids ANY Ad Words campaigns.

I hope you guys work it out. I like both of you.
