Sometimes of course, you do choice 1 until ratios start deteriorating more rapidly and then do step 2 which is my guess here.
It is a decent enough strategy but not without risk as more people promoting a site, more saturated it gets and therefore more difficult to find new customers.
As affiliates of most of the major sites already know.

I thought that way early on, first couple years (01,02,03) I didn't want to mention anything. But then I quickly realized how big the internet was and that the chances of someone advertising clickcash in the exact same spot I was was slim. I know I don't reach .001% of the people online. Also, chances are they going to find out about clickcash one way or the other regardless if they saw me mention it or not. I look at it as extra income. I don't feel it decreases my affiliate revenue one bit. At worst if someone did compete with me for the same traffic with clickcash I would hope I would make at least 10% off of them.
Also I do volume and do to their tiered payout system if someone did want to compete with me I would have an edge as I hit some of the higher tiers. $20 a sign up can very well make difference if a campaign is profitable or loses money.
Personally, I'd rather find 10 people like me, and help them and I would still make the same amount of money, or even better find 20 people. While I did well with wm referrals when I made a big push at in 2005 with teamclickcash, the most I did was about 250 - 300K in wm referral sales from my efforts. What I wanted to do different with wm referrals was actually help people after they signed up vs just getting them to signup to the program like 99% of the people do who through out links or advertise a sponsor.
