I sure as heck get low account balance reminders if I don't have my account at $500. I had an affiliate come to me and say that CJ wasn't paying them for referrals to my site even though it has plenty of funds. Really bizarre. Do you have any idea why CJ wouldn't cut them off after their funds were depleted? At any rate, those unscupulous Boca fools suck. Best, c Zac,

I mean , this is really short term thinking. Looking at your page rank with Alexa alone tells me that you know what you are about, and obviously know what you are doing. As A company starting in a very competitive market (web Hosting). I can see the true value of a professional affiliate. It goes back to the old saying, If you pay peanuts -you get monkeys , we are happy for every single lead-customer that we receive. And I firmly believe in paying for that. I am from Ireland and we have a saying there that "money is like shit, It's no use unless you spread it around". :-) Its obvious to me that the companies you mention did not have their homework done and did not realise the implications of signing a super affiliate. I am glad you published this article as it is a warning for companies who set up affiliate programs to do their research first. It would not be my intention to appear on this page as a "hands off" company.... Just think what that would do for my business...I could close up shop.. patrick Ramseyer CEO Goldhosting Switzerland windows hosting www.goldhosting.ch Hi Zac

I feel so sorry for you =( I'm doing affiliate now for about an year and i'm already doing really huge volume, only working closely with azoogleads they have always paid me on time, but that is what I am scared of tough, not getting paid amounts like $20K or more from an company. I just hope it never happens to me *knock on wood* Oh and the Boca Raton FL stuff...awesome, really. That could be exactly my luck =) Two times bad luck with advertisers, both from the same city? ... Same Guys? ^^ Man OMFG!!
