Nothing wrong with them, information product publishing is an industry of its own. I am both an information product publisher and marketer, and none of the products I own or promote have anything to do with the 'make money online' niche. I think it is pretty stupid to label all informaton products as the same thing, or pretend you're not promoting them because it clashes with your ethics, because promoting ebooks sure as hell is not as shady as promoting ringtones, pills or 'cash loans'.

I totally agree with Smaxors post as well. Being an affiliate is HUGELY beneficial if you plan to sell or run your own products or offers. The more I further myself in affiliate marketing, the better I get at my own businesses where I am the publisher/advertiser.
