Its not just the MPA program that allows you to do this. ANY program can do this unless audited by a third party.
Any programmer who writes an affiliate software can set this type of script to show the percentage they only want to show.
The best way for you to be assure or have some faith in a company is :
a) see the amounts they pay out. How can companies pay out $35, $45, $50 or even $75 per sign up when if an average members lets say shall convert 3 months even at $29.95, thats almost $90! And after expense, cost of operation, bandwidth, content, etc. Why would they be in this business.
b) meet the owners of affiliate programs, ask others who know them, sense how they are and if you dont feel like you can trust them, then dont do business with them! At some point you have to trust in a company. Its like us trusting third party processors like Epoch, CCbill, Jettis, etc. They also can shave, right?
c) Try multiple affiliate programs and see whose checks are getting bigger! :-) cause at end of day, your traffic will convert somewhat the same everywhere. If one affiliate your traffic is converting 1:800 and another is 1:400 to a similar niche site, then why send it to the first company.
Anyways, at some point you have to work with a company you trust, like doing business with and see that your success is growing.
Scums who shave others, will be shaved themselves in their lives at some point in time. Straight business is always good business and those are the ones who will still be around 5 years or 10 years from now.
