Frequently Asked
Questions
Q.
How do the program organisers know when a visitor has gone to them
from my site and not elsewhere?
A. The
hyperlink contains an added element called cgi script which
identifies your account number and correctly ascribes each hit to
its referrer.
Q.
How can I find out if I am due to receive a payment ?
A. The
program organisers will provide you with details of how you can
check your account at any time. You will receive a payment at the
end of the half-month period in which you cross the payment
threshold. If you are very successful you could get two payments
each month.
Q.
I can't decide between competing programs; how do I know which to
choose?
A.
Why not sign up for all of them and see which makes you the most
money. There is no limit to the number of programs you sign
up for but remember that the more routes by which your visitors
can leave your Site the fewer hits each program will receive.
Q.
How do I know I can trust the program to pay out when due?
A.
Each of the programs on this site have been fully checked out and
are considered to be amongst the most reliable on the web.
If you find that any do not pay out as due please email complaints@globalaffiliateprograms.co.uk
and I will remove that programme from this site. You could also
consider joining the affiliate Marketeers discussion board at RevBoard.com
which offers an Internet Marketing Discussion Board for Internet
Marketers, affiliates, and program managers. Members range from
novices to experienced marketers and program managers.

Q.
The program asks me to pay to join them. Should I ?

No, never part with cash. Remember you are
helping their business - not the other way round. There
is always another program which will welcome your business. This
is true whenever a program makes a condition of which you are unsure.
