Check target market, payable event, cookie terms, minimum payout and reversals in current program documents.
How to put it into practice
Mark unknown terms as unknown rather than estimating them.
Choose programs by audience, usefulness and evidenced terms. Treat a commission as confirmed only after reliable settlement data. A link alone proves no sale.
Limits and disclosure
Terms can change. Check details with the provider and disclose commercial links. There is no earnings or ranking guarantee.
