Is it safe to say that this matter is now resolved? In other words, providing the advertising is "responsible" (I'm looking at the affiliate side), affilaites can use remote gambling site banners etc. Cheers - Damon Hi, I’m new to affiliate marketing and arrived here via Affilaites4u.com

Wishy washy and filling sentences and paragraphs with carefully chosen meaningless words that answer no questions posed at all. It seems an art in itself. Thanks for keeping us posted on this topic which affects us all! :) The answers seem so typical of UK bureaucracy.

It does give an email address that you can send copy to for approval (To the Committee of Advertising Practice, who make the rules), but as I'm still waiting on a reply to my general query from them, I wouldn't hold out much hope of a straight yes/no answer from them!

For instance, if I blog about a special offer on my personal site, is it and an advert? What if my server is hosted in Germany? What if I'm running a site about kid's games and I get an advert served by AdBrite or AdWords for Bingo? Etc. Given the Government's inherent lack of understanding when it comes to the web, this one's going to run and run.

I also think a number of merchants to get itchy trigger fingers and kick Affiliates before letting them know what they should do to comply, as the fear of being on the wrong side of the law (more so with the USA market crushed) is one that many a Merchant is worried about. I will probably not run any high profile adverts on my Affiliate sites around the first few weeks in September that cover this area, just to be sure as I rather not be the test case guy, let it be someone with deep pockets I say.
