I've been singlehandedly publishing a website for seven years without ads. Now that I've decided to investigate earning some money with it, your blog has been much help and it looks as though Affiliate Classroom will also be a great help. Keep up the good work and know that you are appreciated and respected. Brian,

In the Direct Marketing industry we live by the mantra "Ugly Sells." From what I've learned, this means that the design should only exist to support the story being told, if the design does anything else then it hinders. While you guys may not like the sales letter, please take into consideration that it is favorable to others who are willing to be a little more open minded and read the letter. Just remember that when you are being sold information you generally only have 2 things to rely on: recommendation, and the story. For me, a recommendation trumps the story.

Going back and looking over this post/discussion it's clear to me that it wasn't the matter of an affiliate link, but rather the look and feel of the landing page, which really isn't your problem. And it's a shame if it's a legitimate service AND they're actually trying to target marketers. I (hesitatingly) signed up for something that looked similar last week, but learned it was all garbage, so I have an even stronger distaste for that type of hard-sell page. Hence the misplaced criticism. Which really brings us back to your post - the same way those types of hard-sell one-page sites turn people off after a while - I think we're now beginning to see a similar reaction to "ads by google".

This just confirm me that's the way to go, at least one of them: good content and recommendations of good products. You've done a great job in these six months and I've learned a lot from you. It's quite natural that you get a return of your investment for providing such a great resource as Copyblogger. I'm sure most of us, your loyal readers, will consider very seriously all your recommendations. Keep the good work! Hi Brian,

The work you do here is fantastic and you should earn something from it. However, that affiliate link is very shady looking which is too bad because their home page is not. They should do a redesign to make it less objectionable. Also, they should not automatically opt you in for the $30 a month if you fail to cancel at the end of the trial. Instead, they should deny you access. The design and that make me nervous EVEN THOUGH you are recommending the product. Still, I am considering. Again, because you've recommended them. :) Long time lurker/subscriber, first time commenter.
