Where top affiliates decide not to join your network
A "doesn't pay" thread on an affiliate forum is the first result for your network name.
Commission-shaving accusations on Reddit r/Affiliatemarketing frame every recruitment conversation.
Top publishers leave quietly and the only public voices left are the disgruntled ones.
"Scam network" thread displaced, Trustpilot 2.0★ → 4.3★ in 4 months
A CPA network running iGaming and finance offers had a "scam network — doesn't pay" forum thread ranking #1 for its brand name plus a 2.0★ Trustpilot, and top publishers were declining to onboard. RatingUp published 22 genuine partner-experience reviews on Trustpilot at safe pace, 15 affiliate-forum posts and replies, 12 Reddit r/Affiliatemarketing discussions, and Quora answers targeting "is [network] legit". Over 4 months the scam thread dropped off page 1 for the brand query, Trustpilot reached 4.3★, and affiliate applications from organic search rose 27%.
