I am trying to do this for the first time. Anybody had any real success with getting lower tier affiliates and coaching them to produce?

Care to post your sources so I can read into it a bit more? UPDATE: I've read into things a bit more & it also depends on the *intent* of the domain. If you're competing with the company then it's a serious issue, but if you're merely redirecting traffic that they would have LOST anyway then you're more than likely helping the company rather than taking anything away. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. Thanks for that Rockwell, there then I guess you have an answer.

I've been in this business for some time but never persued the angle you're talking about I don't even think I have one sub affiliate :D A great idea I heard one time which is an old one but still very relevent. Is sell websites for cheap on ebay. Then make them signup for hosting through your affiliate program. Could also tie in make these people sub affilaites as well as selling them other services. Pretty cool stuff just not my business model. Insightful post on some good ideas.

But on the wider scale of things, it's not illegal. Guess it depends on their terms & conditions, how much bank you’re making & if the network/website decide to pursue you on this.
