    I am wondering if the affiliate program this site is offering is a scam... does anyone have any information regarding this program.

    I'd be interested to hear this too. It seems too good to be true...£20/$40 per referal. I've allready racked up quite a few.

    $40 per referral? Sounds like a scam...but I've never heard anything about it. Check the search engines with "1on40.com"+fraud. See what comes up.

    Some can offer similar incentives but it depends on the program and company.

    sign up and read some of the info, they say they won't pay out till august 2008, and who knows, this may have been changing.. i think its a scam, but $40 a sign up is possible alot.

    It's risky because their free beta closes in March, then they will start charging. I guess they think they'll get enough paying customers to then pay off affiliates but that's crazy unless they really do deliver top rankings and people start bidding huge amounts per keyword.

    What if Google just decides to say nope.

    If you have experienced fraud with them and have something to back that up with, do a whois on their information and take it up with their hosting.
