Serious Warning: Check Your Affiliate Tracking!

Alright, quick heads up for everyone out there. Been seeing a few threads lately and it just hit me how easy it is to get burned. When you're picking new partners, seriously, double-check their tracking and reporting. Don't just take their word for it. I've had situations where commissions suddenly drop off or don't match up, and it's a nightmare to sort out. Always, always do your own small test runs first. A bad affiliate program can waste so much of your time and traffic, maybe even ruin your rep. Better safe than sorry, I think.
