Hi, I was thinking, is it alright if we purchase products through our own affiliate links hence creating like a "discount" kind of purchase? Since you buy, and you get paid commission for a sale through your link. Is it harmful if somehow purchases always come from the same IP or something? Thanks!
Each advertiser sets their own rules. For some this is just fine and for others it is not. You will need to read the fact sheets for each of your advertisers.
You have to to ask the advertisers when you join. But some of the advertisers allow anyone to buy that products, and with the same discount.
