There are a series of well known “affiliate marketers” that have blogs with huge readerships. These guys have ended up as more pro-blogger than affiliate marketer. Which means they generally can’t market their way out of a wet paper bag. They derive the main source of their income from their blog, and often sucker people into joining affiliate networks under their referral. Or selling tools.

Their blogs follow the model of posting about their wonderful affiliate lives, reviewing lots of things, and posting fuckloads of pics of themselves with others at conventions which is mostly for social proofing themselves and others, so they can sucker the readers into thinking they’re worth paying attention to. These blogs have a high noise to signal ratio, avoid like the plague.

Please say “NO” to pro-bloggers posing as affiliate marketers! Don’t give them the readership they crave!

The list is as follows in no particular order:
