The first question you should ask yourself is; How are referrals from an affiliates site tracked and for how long do they stay in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your site.
This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Finally, what is the amount of commission paid? 5% – 20% is the commission paid by most programs. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also vital.
