A lot of companies, especially the high end companies, on Commission Junction state that 'direct linking' is not allowed. This somewhat confuses me because at the same time, they give us promotional material such Text Links and Banners that come with specific tracking URLs, that direct link to their site.
i think the biggest issue they have is if you are competing against them and driving up the cost of PPC campaigns for them
This applies to PPC campaigns. The links need to be placed on an actual website. If you don't have resources to put together a site, you can still have a place to put your links.. -squidoo pages -blogger -forum marketing
