Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Hi, All
1. I am researching a Clickbanks.net vendor for my website – and am acting as if I was a customer for starters, but have not purchased anything YET. So I simply signed up for the newsletter, and in about 5 days time have received just as many emails to buy the product. If I decide to affiliate his product – would I get the commissions from his newsletter campaigns that are selling the product, regardless of how long he sends the email newsletters, as long as I have him signed up as vendor on my site?
2. – Another similar product CB vendor that I am researching – not purchased anything yet, signed up for the newsletter, receiving almost daily emails about a _Completely different Product_ – and not one mention of the original product on the store -it goes to a whole new gig. The original product was an audio file for meditation, the newsletter gig is for ebooks on a totally different topic – “how to manifest your desires, attract what you want, ect” Would I as a vendor get commission on those ebooks? Sounds like a scam to me – if I don’t. And it’s not what I was promoting on my site, anyway.
Thanks much for any input!

I want to promote my new blog article in the home based business niche. I am considering entering it in directories. What is the best gig of that sort, or is there a better method to use my $5? NO black hat SEO for me!
