Is there a way to know how many sales I make in affiliate marketing business?
Hi. I am an affiliate of several companies that sell products and services. My question is how do I know if I made any sales? These organizations claim that they attach cookies to visitors that come from my site and if they buy their product/service I get paid. What if i make 10 sales but they only tell me that I made 1? Is there a way to check them? I don’t want to get ripped off for my efforts. Is there some kind of tracking device?

If you’re dealing with reputable companies, don’t worry. They’re more than willing to pay you a few bucks to keep the program attractive to you and others just like you.
Some companies use promotional codes to identify which affiliate send the business their way. The problem with these programs is that your friends might forget to insert the promo code. If the program also gives your friend a discount, then she is highly motivated to insert the code. Try to select these.
It isn’t in anybody’s interest to cheat you or other affiliates. Publicly traded companies must prove that they have adequate controls of all their financial dealings, and this would just be one of the items that would have to pass that test. If you’re working with a small, privately-held company, it’s possible that the controls aren’t there. But, these companies need you far more that the big boys do, and they know that making sure you earn good dollars is the best way to keep the sales rolling in.
Hi…
The best thing is not to promote for anyone that can’t show you the stats.
Go here and check this out and you will quickly see someone who reports the stats and what sort of info should be available.
The marketing network allows you to build your list, create ads, create and send your newsletter..and make money:
My affiliate program shows me each click, and I advertise through PPC and through links that go through websites that I own, so I can see where each click comes from.
They would have a hard time cheating us as they could never know if you were sitting with a guy making an actual sale, and if they didnt credit you, they would be busted. Your Affiliate program should show you actual IP addresses of purchasers and referall stats.
