Affiliates claiming they own google.com
Affiliates who show you a site "under construction" "parked" or one they don't own.
Or one with so much questionable content on it the sponsor doesn't want to be linked to CP.
Or one with so much pirated content on it the sponsor doesn't want to be linked to it. Yes some still have principles.
Or one with just the wrong content on it the sponsor doesn't want to be linked to it. Like she-male and the sponsor has teen sites. The sponsor can ask.
A site that does very well and doesn't need every single person who fills in a form to have access to their content. Like us that had more in the affiliates area than some whole sites have. And we are not alone on this.
A site who simply doesn't want you.
A site that has the sponsor deciding how it's run and not every person who fills in a form.
A site that knows if you don't send some good traffic, they will can your ass.
An affiliate who plain looks fishy. Country, badly filled in form, wrong info, etc.
Simply checking out the information in the form is accurate. By approving and then emailing the guy. We've had a few bounce. Must of happened to others.

Big sponsors are now working their own traffic as the priority, they see the time when you guys will be a little add on. Because a few of you are ass holes who think you should get exactly what you want, when you want it and no one should question that. Welcome to 2012, you're living in the past.

So you always have to check the affiliate, right?

Francks original question was: why not check out the affiliate afterwards instead of before?

- it does not save you any time because the check takes as much time as it takes
- if you regularly check your new affiliates, how much harm could one affiliate have done in a few hours?

So the issue is: service VS nuisance for the sponsor.


In short: you did not answer the question.
