Why is it that the sight of an affiliate link immediately puts some people on the defensive?

I have a theory that it's the same phenomenon that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up when you walk onto a used car sales lot and you're promptly accosted by a guy wearing a red and orange plaid sports coat, green neck tie and white patent leather boots that zip up the side.

Do you hate being "sold"? I really think that it's the same thing when visitors see what's obviously an affiliate link (or poor disguised excuse for an affiliate link) and start looking for a way to buy "straight from the source". Like they're going to get a better deal!

Very Clever but also too sneaky
By Krishan Veerappa on 13-Jun-2007  |  Content: 4 out of 5  |  Delivery: 4 out of 5  |  RECOMMENDED

The presentation is excellent and Ron presents it very clearly, my only concern is that this can be used by WebMasters and others to exploit the use of this function and I would rather avoid this. For example a site can use this code below to display a relatively known good site which is google in this case but the actual link goes to adult site. The javascript and anchor masks this so it could potentially get the site removed from SE index. Most people report these sites using this technique to SE like Google to remove or lower their ranks due to manipulation.
