You do NOT go and bid someone's terms for keywords they already rank #1 on, and expect them not to shit-can you as an affiliate. Black and white. Straight forward. Simple as that.
If someone tried to do that to me, I'd shit-can you too.
Having affiliates means having people generating traffic for me. Not having affiliates exploit my pre-existing marketing to generate money for you. Do you firmly understand that's the definition of cyber-squatting? Exploitation of someone else's sweat... and your direct benefit? You DO understand that courts will NOT rule in your favor... correct? Cyber squatters do not have any legal ground to stand on.

If it was in your TOS you could shit can them all you want. Since it is a widely accepted method of advertising, with you, Dirty D, Robbie and a few others in the minority, you have to actually spell this out in your TOS and not make up the shit as you go.
One of you who do not allow YOUR affiliates to do this please answer this for me:
What happens when someone bids on your keywords and sends it to your competitor ?
another retarded way of thinking program pops up and added to the do not promote list. Anyone else think backwards like this ?

You are not even t alking about trade marks here or as the other poster said " cyber squatting"...
It's google ppc bidding on keyword phrases like " crachwhore confessions". If it was trademarked it would be a little different and I would understand them PUTTING IT IN THEIR TOS and telling people not to do it. Because then they could try to stop everyone from doing it, not just their affiliates.
