hello,
i recently signed up for the affiliate program of zzounds.com, a vendor of musical instruments. after signing up it seems to me that they manage their own affiliate tracking solution as opposed to outsourcing it to a third party like commission junction.
i know there are many merchants who do this. is this really safe? it just seems to me that it'd be too easy for the merchant to intentionally shave off some of the affiliate's earnings.
any words of advice on this would be greatly appreciated. oh, and if you're familiar with the zzounds affiliate program and have any thoughts about it, that'd be great too (i've read some good reviews so far but would love to hear others' stories as well).
thanks for your time and consideration.
