Do you promote sites that offer binary options?
Being a geek of sorts, during setup day at the recent Barcelona Affiliate Conference, MichaelCorfman proudly wore a shirt with the saying "There are only 10 types of people in the world: those that understand binary and those that don't." Binary options allow bets to be placed on very short term price changes in things like foreign exchange rates, commodity futures, and other types of economic events. They can have a strong gambling flavor to them, and they are legal in the United States.
