The reason I warn our fellow partners more so here, is that multiple publications that have been heavily distributed list this site as 'easy pickins'. Actually, the pubs refer to a time when we had the old set up and it was much easier to do. But the fact of the matter is that I've no doubt that freebie seekers are still joining this community to simply try to coerce partners into parting with review copies by making false claims ... we've already nailed two in the last week (people forget that I know the top affiliates in every campaign I'm part of ... so saying 'I sold 400 copies of Google Payload' will only help you if you actually did).
A few things you can do to qualify a fellow JVNP partner ...
1) Ask me, Reed, Sam, Richard, or any of the other experienced partners if they've worked with the person before. If they say 'I sold 1,000 copies of X ..' we'll probably know about it.
2) Do a search, yourself ... Google, Alexa, etc. See if they pop up, and if what they're saying to you jives with the results.
3) Watch out for partners that don't use their actual name, and have no profile ... pretty self explanatory. Also keep an eye on partners that just joined a day or two previous to asking for a review copy.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to be making changes in the New Year that will only benefit honest, active partners ... and make this community better than ever.
