    I am not sure but maybe it is ok but you should set this website to your CJ program.

    There are no legality issues to it but you will be fine doing so as you will still receive commission.

    article marketing is a common marketing strategy used by a lot of affiliates, so I'm sure its ok to include your affiliate link in your article

    Why take a risk, just add the site to your cj account and then you can post those links without worrying.

    There's no risk to not including a specific domain and it is mainly used for tracking purposes to see which domain is generating sales.

    There is no "danger" for using such a method.

    There are no legality aspects to it and it is not a problem when it comes to breaking TOS.

    Terminated for using affiliate links for one site that was added to your account on a site that wasn't? For some reason I doubt that was the reason unless the unassigned site broke CJ or the advertisers TOS.
