Many of the ads you see on this site are affiliate links. I wanted to post this warning, and it is going to go to all my sites. If you should click on one of my links and it doesn’t go to the program that it should but to another program then be sure and research that program thoroughly.
I have no control of redirected affiliate links. That is done through the marketing companies I work with. Should the program I am sponsoring fill up then the link will automatically redirect to another program the company is sponsoring.
Why am I telling you this? Simple, not all the programs that you will get redirected to are legitimate and it has nothing to do with me as an affiliate marketer. This is just one of the downsides of the business. I try my hardest to only promote products I am comfortable with and that will not cost my customers an arm and a leg, because let’s face it in these hard economic times arms and legs are hard to come by.
Also recently on one of my other sites my link was being redirected to a product that I myself got burned on and so naturally I do not want to promote it. Yes, I can get burned. I forgot my cardinal rule when I applied for the product…research. I didn’t do enough and I got burned.
So I took my link down on a very good legitimate offer so that others would not get scammed.
All in all affiliate marketing is easy and legitimate, but you need to be on your toes at all times when it comes to the programs your sites promote.
