How many times do you see a question that asks if there are real affiliate programs or work from home opportunities? A question like that almost demands an answer from companies that fill the need. Will this be abused? Yes, of course it will be. There are already many "insider secrets" type offers circulating that tell you a great way to get extra web site traffic is to come here and become a category expert so that new people will respect your answers and use your products. Yahoo will eventually tighten guidelines but in the meantime the borders will be stretched.
