I think that there are at least two motivations behind revealing good sponsors.

The first, would be the altruistic motivaton. We hang out on the GFY, and we know that people are coming to the GFY because they trust and respect the awesome community that has developed here. person A, wants to help any newbies with no thought of reward and they offer advice about who they think is good.

The second, is a more self-centered approach. Many sponsors offer webmaster referrals. Person B, is looking to get as many people to sign up under them as is possible.

For myself, whenever I recommend anyone to any sponsor on this board, I merely give the URL, and not my link code for webmaster referrals. That is not to say that everyone who uses their link code is not altruistic, or that everyone who does not use their link code is not being self-centered.

I think you need to read, get a feel for who is doing what type of business, and decide for yourself. In the long run, you can only hold yourself responsible for the decisions you make.
