By providing this information any government official will be able to search google for your gpid finding all your adult websites. If your business is 'online marketing' because you don't like/want your name/business associated with adult then the ONLY solution is to stop promoting aff.
I personally would rather stop promoting aff than complete this form. My rep has told me auditors are insistent upon this. If this situation does not change I will be removing all aff adverts next week and I have been an affiliate since 2003. |
They don't give the actual document to the government. No one besides AFF is going to know what your Gpid is. They need it to associate you with your account. That is all.
They are required by law to have that form on file, as they have to report any payments that exceed $600 in a calendar year.
But when they do report the payments, it is done via a 1099. *That* is the information that the government sees.
That is if you are a US citizen. I don't know or care what they need for non-US webmasters. But whatever it is, I very seriously doubt that they transmit information that contains your affiliate id.
