How Affiliate Marketers Almost Ruined The Internet

Just a few short years ago, affiliate marketers were on the brink of destroying the Internet. Now, I realize this article will be a bit controversial especially since this information is coming from an affiliate marketer and someone who teaches others how to become affiliate marketers.

Even from the beginning, they were good affiliate marketers and bad affiliate marketers. Unfortunately, the bad affiliate marketers (the ones who would spam the Internet) were the ones who succeeded the most.
