Hi, this is Matt Hulett the CEO of ClickBank.

ClickBank was recently made aware of a situation in which customers were posting their information using social bookmarking sites, which are indexed by Google. As a result, ClickBank is taking steps to limit the information that a consumer can inadvertently share through such services. We take customer privacy very seriously and believe that all individuals share responsibility for maintaining the security of personal information that is posted online. At no time is customer payment information disclosed.

Yes. $4 per unique without a real business model. Smart folks and they each have their own version of how they are going to be big, branded ad networks but the fundamental issue is that brands need to control where their ads are placed. This is polar opposite to how RY and Slide distribute their content.
