From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent vandalism, as you did to Affiliate marketing, will not be tolerated. Although vandalizing articles on occasions that are days or weeks apart from each other sometimes prevents editors from being blocked, your continued vandalism constitutes a long term pattern of abuse. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Roy would of course object to the specific edit, since that particular link is contributing to the page rank of his business web site.

As I get more familiar with wikipedia, I will take a closer interest in Affiliate Marketing, and related search phrases, because it ticks me off the way individuals such as Mr. Cumbrowski uses an opportunity to provide useful information as a tool for his/their personal gain. No doubt, Mr. Cumbrowski is hoping that a link from Wikipedia to his site will:

1. Increase his page rank and 2. Legitimize his business.

The writing on this page is unprofessional, unstructured, enmeshed with unneccessary, spammy links and in general reflects poorly of the Affiliate Industry.

I, for one, would hate for the public to read this particular page and think that it reflects, in any way whatsoever, any amount of truth and validity about Affiliate Marketing.
