How to Judge Whether a Website is Worthy of your Trust

Here is my complete answer about affiliate programs.



Here are some questions you can ask yourself to help you evaluate an affiliate website's credibility.



Bad Signs

• Is the site just a directory of links?

• Is the site touting only one brand (Just to be clear, I'm not referring to brand sites here, only to affiliate sites.)?

• Is the editorial content the same you see everywhere else (meaning it was probably copied and pasted from somewhere else)?

• Same question for the individual products. If you see the same words popping up all the time, you can suspect that no real product evaluation has taken place.



Good Signs

• Do you like the credentials of the editor usually found in the "About Us" section of the site?

• Are many, many lines of products being represented and evaluated on the site?

• Is there original content and is there new content being posted regularly? [This is very important, as it indicates that people are working very hard to keep the website current. Everyday we hear of website moguls who swear they work only an hour a day and are raking in tens of thousands of dollars a month. I have to question the quality of information available on such a site.]
