The good news is, you don't have to spend hours every week hunting for problems. You just need to know which red flags to watch. In this episode, I'm walking through the signs every affiliate program should pay attention to, including conversion rates that are way too high or way too low, strange click patterns, high refund rates, spam complaints, fake discount codes, cookie stuffing, trademark bidding, and more. You'll learn how to spot potential fraud, how to prove what's really happening, and when to warn an affiliate versus when to remove them fast.
