So as an affiliate I can't promote your product in adwords?
Why stop at adwords, where do you draw the line with where traffic is purchased. What about yahoo paid spots?
I know a few people here will agree with you on this but most wont. I am one of the ones that doesn't. If i had affiliates bidding on a term I definetly wouldn't tell them they couldn't bid there. Either way I would win if my company got a sale through ou ad or through one of our affiliates. What I personally would do, I would probably back out and not compete with my affiliates if they were covering that traffic source. But thats just me.
