How often have you seen a negative review of a hosting company on a website that an affiliate is promoting? Probably rarely if ever. He also states on his site he would like to have feedback whether positive or negative. However there are no negative reviews on his site.
So just out of curiosity, a friend of mind decided to submit a review with predominantly positive comments but also described one or two less than favorable problems of his real life experience with this host. The promoter of the affiliate site rejected his review and naturally never paid him. If my friend were to have left out the negative aspects of his review, I would be willing to bet the affiliate would have used his review. Even though the payment is only for five bucks, how many people would be willing to just state the positive experiences with a hosting company and conveniently leave out any negative experiences. I am more than certain it does happen quite often.
