Would you TRUST a sponsor review site that uses affiliate ref codes?
 

Would you trust a thorough and well researched sponsor review site if the sponsor link being reviewed has a REF CODE?

With or without the referral code, the person can still be paid from the sponsor.

Flat fee for a great advertisement or anything.

very good but, " Would you trust a thorough and well researched sponsor review site if the sponsor link being reviewed has a REF CODE? " ?

everything that have adult in it-- never trust.

:2 cents:

trust all - just to a certain extent

I would trust them, as long as the reviews are honest or at least sound like it. :)

I think people believe reviews. It just can´t be like in Las Vegas though, where you have an award for each person in town!

Good points.

If they have ref codes for every single sponsor and not just chosen ones, or if they are giving fair reviews ones that aren't obviously biased, hell yeah. Why shouldn't they profit from my referrals if they are taking the time and effort to provide me with the service? Most of the sites like that only make revenue from banners, if that.

I've seen review sites that give seemingly honest reviews, that have ref codes. They include their ref codes on the shitty sites too. Doesn't seem to matter how bad of a review you give a site, some people are still going to sign up for it.

Hell yes, if they put in all the research, they deserve to get something back for it. I'd be suspicious of the review site IF they didn't take advantage of using ref codes.

How about objective reviews and comments from other webmasters? Plus a rating system?

:thumbsup

I don't trust anything that doesn't have ref codes!!

Also if the reviews sound likely, and not trying to hard to sell, that is good :)

Doesn't make much sense to refer you to a site that doesn't convert when the referal is a percentage of sales.
And even some flat fee referrals only pay for active referrals; which means you have to make sales before the referral is paid.

So sign up and if you don't make sales then the referrer is screwed too; they should have referred a good site. :Graucho

you missed the point :glugglug

Thinking of adding a rating system for webmasters in future updates.

works for me

Depends... do they only list a handful of sponsors that all happen to have referal codes....

or do they list over 800 sponsors regardless of whether they have a webmaster referal program or not?

We dont have ref codes on our site ratemyaffiliate.com, the reason we dont have them is because we just dont want to have them, we just wanted to put up a site like this so that webmasters can review and give comments about affiliate programs.

You guys write site reviews? Im looking for several hundred done. If you can do it for less than $30 each Im interested!
