Looks like it time for other countries to step up to the International Policeman mantle

Enjoy, and let me know what you think...

As Elisabeth has showed you, you just mean anchor text.

With recent Google changes, be very careful how you apply anchor text, if using it for external linking, ie don't go overboard with keywords. In your example though, internally on a site it's fine.

Depends why you want the email, and what the user gets.

If it's a newsletter, then ask your customers or visitors if they want to join. If you have interesting content related to your products and services, making you known as an authority in that industry, then this can be a draw to a newsletter.

Good technique I've seen used a few times recently to get FB likes, reviews, etc. Offer a discount, or money back. Got a fiver off some tyres recently just for liking their page. Got my vote

Think about it, what purpose other than personal vanity does buying in random traffic achieve?

If you are selling a product or service, random traffic is actually irrelevant. You want targeted traffic that stands a chance of using your services or generating leads.

Normally affiliates have a unique reference attached to the URL, and this can be reported on. Bigger affiliate schemes will give you access to reporting tools.

We use unique URL's to keep track of our affiliate partners, which our system then calculates any due commission and we pay the affiliate.

Whatever system you use, there has to be an element of trust. If a company rips off it's affiliates and that becomes public knowledge, it could do untold damage to it's reputation. So other than genuine mistakes, I think it unlikely many affiliate schemes would rip you off.

Obviously make sure you are dealing with a reputable company/scheme in the first place!
