And for me to receive my share of a Dell sale, you have to click from my affiliate link. Does the fact that I am a Dell affiliate mean that they support me and my cause? Of course not; it simply means that they're willing to pay me for sending sales their way. For me to receive my commission from an Amazon sale, you have to click through from my affiliate link. It's the way the affiliate business works. Dell probably has hundreds of thousands of affiliates just like that site. Do you think they "support" the cause of each and every one? I'm about to set up an affiliate link page just like that for my church's website. Will that mean Dell and Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and CarsDirect and the other dozens of companies I set up with will "support" my church. Of course not.
Like I said, if you don't believe me, go set up one yourself. For Dell, you'll begin at Linkshare.com. Have fun.
