How trustworthy are affiliate ad networks? Can't they jib their advertisers and skew the statistical data of sales? How can such things be prevented as an affiliate advertiser (or how can I check on the company to make sure I am not getting jibbed?)
Do your homework and research on the company and save conversation or agreement forms before you start working for them.
Fully agree. If you have fears, go for a reputable (big) affiliate company, it's usually the mom and pop setups that have cash problems and are more likely to try cheating you..
