Has anyone out there compiled a list of "NC friendly" affiliates? In other words, affiliates that are cooperating with NC's affiliate tax/ nexus law by accepting affiliates and paying the corresponding taxes to the state?

I know NY has a similar group that was gathering links to NY friendly affiliates, but they don't appear to be as active.

I'm of the opinion that eventually this affiliate tax law will pass for all states (it's already passed for NY, NC, CO, RI, and CA has it back in consideration for this year). I'm disappointed in those affiliates that don't take the time to setup the tax payments. It feels like they're just joining the "popular" anti-tax/ Amazon movement and aren't paying attention to the relationships they're severing and the profits they're losing. I think they're going to end up on the losing side of this war and will regret it...

I've been getting into affiliate marketing lately and have been wondering if there's any kind of required disclosure that needs to be made. Ie. if I review a product, and get compensated for sales that are made, how can someone be sure that's an unbiased review?

I feel like there's a need for some kind of affiliate compensation disclosure. Any affiliate marketers out there currently use one?

I live in NC and one of our main affiliate program's, Amazon.com's associate program, was axed as a result of an Affiliate Tax law that made it into the budget this year. As much as that upsets me, I'm starting to realize that Amazon was paying measly commissions anyways. On top of that, it seems like it's not the best idea to have all my eggs in one affiliate basket, as this situation clearly shows.

So my question is - what is everyone using in lieu of Amazon? I heard there were thousands of affiliate programs closed in NC, so there must be quite a few of you out there that have found alternatives to Amazon?
