Affiliate Marketing sites….tricking search engines….spying on other competitors….what is your take this?

There are A LOT of advertisers on the Net now promoting affiliate marketing and internet sites selling digital ebooks and other such products, using techniques that could be called both questionable morally and ethically, or even legally. What do you all think about all this? One such book recently that is very popular is called The Rich Jerk….it is popular, but gives advice to people to use tactics that are morally unethical…thus, the term "rich jerk"……do we want to let them get away with this crap? Seems like the search engines themselves will start changing their entire set-up of their programming to prevent these scam artists from making money off of them…..most of these people claim to have made "millions at home" from these tactics. Anyone actually tried some of them and it worked….anyone actually tried them and then felt guilty for the tactics used to make such money? Anyone wonder if the legality of all this is going to come down on these people one day?

Its not right but more and more companies are doing this. Right now not that many laws about it. Its going to keep the federal government and state governments busy enacting laws about this. Be kind of tough to catch but it will make law enforcement and lawyers busy in the future.
