    The article is written by someone, and for people in affiliate marketing. From this perspective, I find it quite balanced.

    But even the 100% cashback sites are not completely free (generally they keep the first £5 made). This is why we see more of them, not less.

    By encouraging even daily clickers to use these sites. The sites by their nature make more money. By using the cashback sites for their daily clicks, the clickers will also be far more likely to use a cashback site when they purchase on the net.

    It's a company choice as to how they use their advertising budget. Some we see on TV/radio/newspapers, and others use clicks to direct traffic to their site. It's just another advertising medium. I can't see how its wrong to make people aware of this.

    Oh someone quoting me when I never even posted that or on this thread.

    That's below the belt making me look bad. Fair enough quote someone but not what they havent wrote down

    I have never said or implied that anywhere on mse nor anywhere on the net, well at least not me in person. Just where have you got this quote from unless you have deliberately tried to implicate me by quoting me and editing the content

    Oh and I know you saw this post and then went off line.

    I did think that someone may be trying to get at you (probably a spammer).

    But it isnt relevant here, it wasnt me, you quoted someone else who is relevant assuming you are right on another site.

    I can see it on the link at top of page

    http://www.onelittleduck.co.uk/2007/11/will-martin-lewis-ruin-cashback-sites.html

    But why quote it here? why not other quotes? For the record that isn't from me

    I thought the url you posted was in answering a comment I was suppose to say accept I didnt post that.

    Eh I am a supporter of mse, I am defensive because I didnt post that. It asks the question why did you make a quote to 1 comment of many on here?

    BTW that isnt a forum on that site its a blog.

    There are plenty of poppycats and 2 on mse including myself Poppycat and poppycat, no problem with that, the relevance is you lifted a quote from another site and posted it here, why just that quote? unless you had some motif
