Recently a bunch of links from the Empire Market Dark Web came to my attention and since I am not a huge supporter of spam in any way, I was curious about what the link owners were up to. After doing some digging I found out the Empire Market is an affiliate network of several web sites that collect affiliate links from members. The Dark Web is one of those websites that do not require you to have your own website in order to join the Empire Market as an affiliate. But, you do need to have a website to be an affiliate of the Empire which requires you to provide web-site content and one-way links back to your own website.
