I will point out that i have an account at Europartners, that via just 1 or two sub affiliates generates 100’s a month, sometimes over $1000. Also had account that did 100’s in 2nd Tier at Vegas Partners, before change in US law.
There are 2 programs (mgs) that i’ve been promoting them on my webmaster pages since summer 2001 and they generate enough 2nd teir commission, that the commission combined with $3, will buy you a coffee at starbucks.
Whatever the issues with proving, BB1 you’ve got a good idea. The deal “$300 for proof”, gives you the right to reject an submission/acusation that seems fraudulent. Give em Hell!
