Hmm. "Review copies"... an interesting thing.
I would NEVER promote a product without first having looked at it. I would also *never* expect any of my affiliates to do anything less - which is why I have a 'free sample view' available for all my products for affiliates.
Too many people these days don't want a "review" - they want a free product.
And F2 (do you have a name?), you're spot on about the number of affiliates who 'register to promote' and then who *do* actually promote.
That's why I asked about communication - that's the key to success. Being that we don't know the product, nor the website that you were talking about int he original post, or your name or your 'partners names' - there really isn't any reason why you can't share some statistics. We don't know who they apply to.
