Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Hi, All
1. I am researching a Clickbanks.net vendor for my website – and am acting as if I was a customer for starters, but have not purchased anything YET. So I simply signed up for the newsletter, and in about 5 days time have received just as many emails to buy the product. If I decide to affiliate his product – would I get the commissions from his newsletter campaigns that are selling the product, regardless of how long he sends the email newsletters, as long as I have him signed up as vendor on my site?
2. – Another similar product CB vendor that I am researching – not purchased anything yet, signed up for the newsletter, receiving almost daily emails about a _Completely different Product_ – and not one mention of the original product on the store -it goes to a whole new gig. The original product was an audio file for meditation, the newsletter gig is for ebooks on a totally different topic – “how to manifest your desires, attract what you want, ect” Would I as a vendor get commission on those ebooks? Sounds like a scam to me – if I don’t. And it’s not what I was promoting on my site, anyway.
Thanks much for any input!

For starters, I’m a first year NaNovelist, so I’m not that familiar with it’s inner workings.
The site is completely swamped right now and I can’t even get it to load on my computer, so I’m asking my question here in hopes that someone affiliated with the site will see it. Anyway, I read on a blog somewhere that in the past they gave whoever won NaNoWriMo a free copy of their book. Anyone know if they’re still doing that?
Also, are people participating allowed to post what they’ve written online anywhere? Or is it required that the whole novel be finished before released to the public?
If anyone could answer it would be greatly appreciated, and whoever is taking part this year I wish you all the luck in the world!
Cheers!
