Because some affiliates are scumbags - I'm sure somewhere down the line some ass requested a password & posted it on his hack site or something like that.

I can see where a program would not want to give out a un/pw to a new or small webmaster - and it should be based on prior performance and/or references (not that Boogie is a crappy webmaster )

I'm not sure if you've tried to contact us at ARS. We will always give out temp username/passwords for review. You can contact me at techsupport@i2intl.com or hit me up on icq at 195639.

Another point to add to that is some affiliates think it's their 'right' to rip a good part of the site and put it up, all nice and dandy, as their own 'paysite'. So like GG said, reputation, performance &/or potential. If you aren't already eligible, it's always best to get in contact with your rep - create a rapport. *This goes for 'new' webmasters to a program.

well, I've been runing blog like that for 2 years now, and I almost never had that problem (guess I was dealing with the right people).. now I'm at the point when they send me passes and everything, asking me to feature their websites on my blog... so, I guess the start can be a bit harder (like always), but once the things start rolling - it's all easy... good luck with it!

I think the practice of free passwords was originally curtailed when surfers figured out how to use a sign up to the affprog as a way to get a free one.

Of course, anyone that actually is sending sales should have a u/p for the duration of them promoting the site. Seems like marketing 101 to me.
