you can always ask them to do something custom like a custom join page, if they can do that they either have the correct knowledge or have a good programing staff that can whip it out fast.
but thats just some suggestions as i have seen good companies that break those guidelines.

Well the catch-22 there is that programs that don't use boxed solutions tend to make people leary as they are measured suspiciously of maintaining complex shaving mechanisms. Which makes me ask... how much do affiliates really bother looking into the ownership and staff of the companies that they work with? Especially in light of online and offline personalities usually differing so greatly, the need for some sort of references and accountability should mean something but all too often, at least it seems to me, affiliates completely ignore that as a deciding factor in what program to promote.
