    I just thought I'd let you know that some of the items you listed are TOS violations and will get anyone who tries them banned.

    #2 - signing up for anything is against mTurk TOS, especially seeing right now there is a flood of blackhat activity using signups for affiliate links

    #4 - you are not allowed to pay anyone to promote your site, SEO is a no-no again.

    #10 - a major infraction which could also get you kicked off your affiliates. It is NOT technically OK with mTurk, either, and they report every person who does this to the affiliate they link to. On top of that, Turkers have caught on and are submitting obvious garbage to the affiliates and/or reporting the HIT to the affiliate themselves. You should remove this from your article entirely as it will get a lot of people in trouble.
