  Re: Radio 2

Was mainly about cashback...although he did mention Direct Line who I believe aren't on cashback sites now?

Users should visit Kelkoo etc daily for free money (which I believe is not the right way to push cashback sites)

Users can sign up to get a bank account deposit £1, get £25 and close their account (not good either)

He then says that ads on websites earn the site money, but instead of going through them you can earn cashback.... although later on he tells a onemanandhisvan site owner that he can cash via google adsense and affiliate marketing.

Bit about drop shipping, mentions eBay... usual stuff.

Whilst there's no doubt he does do some good stuff for the consumer - and I guess exposing loopholes is the only way they're plugged - I did find myself shouting at the radio quite a lot... probably from the viewpoint of a siteowner who provides a free service and utilises "ethical affiliate marketing" (as Martin says he does) and wishes cashback perhaps wasn't promoted in such a "you can grab free money" manner.
