How We Review Affiliate Programs

What we list

• Legitimate products and services with a real affiliate or referral program that anyone can apply to.
• Companies with a working website, real customers and clear commission terms.
• Programs run in-house or through an affiliate network or affiliate software.

What we do not list

• Gambling and betting.
• MLM or pyramid schemes (a normal two-tier referral program is fine).
• Adult content.
• Get-rich-quick courses and schemes.
• Companies without real customers or operations.

How we check a program

• The website must load over https and belong to the company that runs the program.
• We compare the commission, cookie length, payout threshold and payment methods with the official affiliate page or the network listing.
• We look for duplicates so each company appears once.
• Descriptions are written by our team in our own words. We do not copy text from other directories.

What the labels mean

Every listing starts with basic facts (name, commission, categories, payment methods). When a reviewer has checked the details against an official source and written the description, the page shows “Checked by our team” with the date and a link to the source.

Commission terms change often. A check date tells you how fresh the information is; always confirm the terms on the program’s own page before you join.

How we keep listings current

• Our system checks program websites on a rolling schedule and flags links that stop working.
• Flagged and reported programs are re-checked by a person, then corrected, hidden or removed.
• Program owners can claim their listing and send updates. Updates are reviewed before they go live.

Found a mistake?

Use “Report wrong info” on any program page, or email support@affiliate-watch.com. We review every report.

How we make money

Some links on AFFILIATE-WATCH are affiliate links. If you join a program or buy something through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never decides whether a program is listed or how it is described. See our affiliate disclosure for details.
