Multiman, I have not a single connection to the world of affiliates and have been on this board for almost two years now, so I think my opinion is unfettered:

Your point that being committed to a keyword involves having a website ***holds no merit***. Investing $$$ is CLEARLY a much better criteria than yours, and so you need to let take that dog out back and shoot it, cause it just won't hunt.

Second, don't kid yourself into thinking you had one iota of impact on what Google or Overture is or isn't doing - you had none, and your contribution to the SEM debate has primarily been one of mass annoyance. You clearly won't get off the imaginary high horse you're sitting on, but almost *everyone* else on this board has literally and figuratively kicked you off the horse, so know that I an many others (who are on the sidelines of this argument) are laughing at you every time to post.

Last, I'll admit something on your behalf given that you've shown no self-consciousness or humility - you are just as self-interested and biased as every affiliate out there and an ant could easily jump over the supposed moral high ground you stand on.

I'm Chris Zaharias and that's my opinion.
