If you join a site via your revshare code. You aren't ripping them off of money, just getting a half off membership.

are we talking about a website access or a tangible product here ;) ?Comment

You can just ask for a password

Yep. As long as you make it clear you are using the membership info to get a better idea re their product for promotions purposes. At this point, the password they give you (barring any abuse) is a promotional tool that can only benefit both parties.Originally posted by damian2001

As long as it's on revshare = you don't get more back from the program for the join than you payed for it.. Then i doubt anyone would have a problemOriginally posted by Alex

1. to check the sites.. allways good to know what your sellingOriginally posted by StuBradleyThen what possible reason would there be to do this?
2. to check the program.. Never hurts to do a test signup on your own once in awhile to see if sales are tracked.. do that myself, and actually encurage our affiliates to do the same..Comment

Read the TOS.. Any program that catches you doing this will terminate your account. The reputable programs will allow you to do test signups but you have to report them once you've made them.Originally posted by AlexComment

If you to a test sale report it to the program operator or your rep.
It's as easy as that.
If you pay $1 and then take home $40, that's fraud if you don't report it. Has nothing to do with "testing" to make sure everything is working right.
We encourage our webmasters to do test sales, but report them.Comment

Best way is to always tell the company that you did it to be on the safe side. Probably better to tell them before you do it too.

I don't think any sponsor will you accuse of fraud if you email them right afterwards saying you did a test signup or that you wanted to check out the members area...Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

However reason 2. is a fucking great idea and I recommend it to all affiliates. You should always check to see that the program works before you start sending hits to the sites. Just make sure you report it so the proper refund and deduction and be credited immediately after you verify everything is kosher.Comment

So if you are going to do a test signup to see if a sponsor is shaving your ass you'r suposed to tell them... before you do it ?Originally posted by WiredGuy
Btw, to some of the other posts here.. I think he said revshare, so if he has no gain from it (other than his normal %) then why should he report anything.. he just gave you anb extra sale ???Comment

It really depends in my book. If it is an establish affiliate signing up for an account
for himself, thats fine, but if its the one-time affiliates whos only referal is themselves,
then no way.
Then again, I'm in hosting -- not adult stuff, but I know what thats like ;)Comment

Joining under your refcode is a reason to terminate your account, so I'd rather get paid and tell them upfront.Originally posted by fedfestSo if you are going to do a test signup to see if a sponsor is shaving your ass you'r suposed to tell them... before you do it ?

'Can be' a reason to terminate....Originally posted by WiredGuy
Guess that would depend on the program.
Can't see why it should be a problem though.. First of all he's helping you test your program making sure sales are tracked right..
Second, he just put money in your pocket giving your site an extra sale.Comment

Its still better I think to tell the program upfront, for example buying a merchandise item like a sex toy, even though its revshare, its still a way to obtain the product at a lower cost.Originally posted by fedfest
