Oh, how I hear you on that one, Linda. Not too long ago, I came across someone in a site review forum (it may have been here, not sure) that basically said "this is my first website and I'm new to online marketing, could you take a look and tell me what to change?" Upon visiting the site, guess what the headline read? Learn how I make $4,000 a month online!.

I immediately went back and told that person that he needs to stop lying to his visitors and find another niche. (Of course, I think I said it much nicer than that.) LOL

You are absolutely spot on that someone needs to find their niche and not just start promoting what all the guburus (to steal a quote from Splork) are.

That was one of the major problems I had (and still kind of have) with them. They haven't improved the click stats, but they are trying -- at least, that's what their implementation of the tracking ID indicates to me -- they're just slow going.

Personally, I use my own link management software to hide the affiliate URL and count my clicks so I can monitor what's working and what's not. Plus, there are a bunch of other CB specific tracking tools on the marketing. Maybe I need to do a review of a couple of them one day...hmmm.
