What's your opinion on collecting spammers as affiliates?

[Rafi93]

I recently found a list of spammers to my site. What do you think of emailing these guys to try and get them to join my program? Or are all of them robots? Robots aren't good affiliates I hear.

My opinion: Yeah. Just what you need. People already trying to spam and scam other people. Just what the affiliate marketing industry needs too.

This would be a lot like saying you're going to open a bank and you have a list of convicted bank robbers who seem to know the profession - should you hire them?

It's tough enough finding affiliates who will promote my product in an honest, ethical way that's in harmony with my own approach - can't imagine how much damage spammers would do to my affiliate program.
