Affiliate Marketing Doofuses

There's definitely a reason the managers of AdWords and related programs find affiliate marketers a challenge. In part, it's precisely because they have no stake in the underlying business that - as creative as they can be in maximizing results - they will sometimes say anything to get a click. Affiliates for my ebook (as thankful as I am, though not so much when they advertise on my name) have used bogus registered trademark symbols and a number of other misleading ad copy tactics. The most recent effort I saw indicated that "ROI was guaranteed by Andrew Goodman."

I don't guarantee ROI. Who would? Like many others it seems like you have to constantly go running to Google to address these wild claims made by affiliates in your name.
