When working with a merchant directly or through an affiliate network, it's important to ask a number of questions in addition to conversion and performance stats. Here are some questions you should ask your merchant or affiliate manager about the program you're looking at promoting: 1) How long has the merchant been in business? 2) How long has the merchant been managing free trial/continuity programs? 3) Can you send me the product to try for myself? 4) What makes this product different than others in the space? 5) Why should I work with this brand instead of others? The company you work with should be knowledgeable about their product and should stand behind it. They should WANT you to see the product the way it's shipped to customers and allow you to try for yourself so the review you post is real, accurate, and appealing. After all, the products you promote are a reflection on you - your site, your words, your reputation.

The claims on the product landing pages themselves are so outlandish that they virtually have no credibility. How many of these weight loss, colon cleanse, skin renewal and teeth brightening products actually work? I would venture to say very few if any. How is a blogger supposed to make legitimate, realistic claims about a product when the manufacturers themselves don't? If the claims of the product manufacturers are shady then why are the affiliate companies promoting the products to begin with? Simply said, it's the money. Everybody wants to make their buck and if it means promoting products with outrageous claims then people will do it because everybody wants the easy way out. Affiliates for the quick easy buck and the gullible internet surfers looking for quick weight loss. I think sime brings up a very good point.

Quite often the same "offer" can be found at all the major internet marketing blogs at the same time, which immediately sets the alarm bells ringing on my bullshit-o-meter.
