So, hands up, let's be honest, who actually bothers to read the affiliate terms and conditions?

Have you ever wondered why you are getting clicks but no sales?

Perhaps you are breaking the rules of the affiliate program, and your sales are not valid!

Here's an example, I have written a product review to promote something from Digistore24. 

And these are some of the terms and conditions - 

Affiliates must make it clear that the page is a REVIEW page and you're being compensated for the review. Therefore, any page and all creative contained therein must include the word 'REVIEW' in the title, the URL, and any graphics used in the cover image or profile image. This includes blogs, webpages, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or ANY OTHER online entity whether or not it is considered to be "social media". 

Affiliates are NOT permitted to use ANY before and after photos or user testimonials in their promotions.

Affiliates may also not use any terminology in ads or landing pages that are similar to "scam" or "fraud."

I suspect that many of you are guilty of doing some of the above, we've all seen the typical "Product XXX - Is It a Scam?" type of review.

Or maybe you automatically include user testimonials.

For this particular product, that is against their rules, and not only will you not receive a commission if employing these tactics, but you could be banned from the program!
