About

A 50% commission from a program that pays late, shaves conversions, or disappears with your balance is worth less than 20% from one that pays on the first of the month. The rate is the easiest number to publish and the least useful one on its own.

Good Faith Mark tracks 286 SaaS and B2B affiliate programs. It reads each one’s published terms daily, records every reading, and dates every change from the day it was seen. Terms are on file for 170 of them so far. The gap is published rather than hidden, on the methodology page.

What this refuses to be

Not a link farm. Every outbound link to a program is nofollow, paid or not. A directory that sells link equity ends up optimising for whoever pays, and its ratings stop meaning anything.

Not a rating you can buy. A verification tier comes from affiliates reporting they were paid. The $29 listing buys the right to display the mark and a highlighted profile, never the verdict.

Not a CPA directory. No gambling, adult or nutra programs. That segment is well served elsewhere and mixing them would cost the trust this is built on.

Why the archive matters

The valuable part is not today’s snapshot; anyone can scrape that. It is the dated history: knowing a program cut its commission in March, or quietly moved payouts from PayPal to a network that holds balances longer. That record can only be built by starting and continuing, which is why the crawler ran before the site had a single visitor.
