From the 5 Star Affiliate Blogs » (Too long and too many links to convert to BBcode.) New Affiliate Advisory Board Launches. 1st Call - Stop Adware! "Top affiliates joined together for the 1st conference call for the new 'Affiliate Advisory Board'. The group's goal is to discuss all issues of importance to the affiliate marketing industry and of course, one of the most pressing is parasites and Adware. Colin McDougall was one of the top affiliates on the call and did a nice write-up about it. His blog focused on the fact that although adware steals affiliate commissions, there is another important aspect which affects our entire industry. He says the industry needs to be cleaned up because affiliate serps are at risk."
