The document provides a 10 point checklist of elements that should be checked on a website before launching an affiliate program. These include transparency elements like a public Whois registration, privacy and policy pages, clear return, shipping, and contact policies. Any links leaving the site are considered "leaks" and should be removed, including to other sales pages, affiliates' websites, or ad networks. Product pages should have clear calls-to-action, professional images, and thorough descriptions. The checkout process should be fast, secure, and not require account creation or coupons until after sale completion to reduce abandonment. Consistent branding and easy navigation are also important to build trust with affiliates and customers.
