you people are mixing two things ... it is not like you lost a friend, but the old friend became an enemy! dont you see the difference? if there is other affiliates who knows how better, no fucking problem, but the serps are filled with piracy! friend became an enemy! it is not like we have adapt or die, but it is time to fight! google is biggest search engine offering your content or content of programs you promote, for free! do you see the difference finaly?
you can try to find any other ways, differ your traffic and i dont know what else, but if google will be offering all for free, nobody will pay for the content! you got it, finaly?
and last one month google is more pro piract than ever been before ...
