Why won’t Article Marketer pay their affiliates the commissions they have earned? Every business runs into cash flow problems, but with these guys it goes even further than that. I am switching to Submit Your Article because of it.

Here is what I have personally seen from Article Marketer in the past 90 days.

1. They owe me $930 in affiliate commissions.

2. They will not pay me or many others.

3. They ignore my emails and others who have wasted time contacting them.

4. Their stats do not work anymore so you can not check any reports on your sales. But they still send out emails congratulating us when we make a sale.

5. They continue to let me make sales knowing full well they can not pay me, or anyone else.

Number 5 really chaps my butt. Never mind the fact that they do not have money to pay their affiliates. It is obvious I am not the only one as I have posted in several Internet marketing forums about Article Marketer and several people are having the same problem.

These guys are so low they will continue to let us make sales for them without even notifying us they are out of money. This is the biggest crock of b.s. I have come across in 5 years of affiliate marketing. As a matter of fact they are they only ones to stiff me in 5 years.

I thought Article Marketer was a respectable company. They have always done a good job submitting my articles. They are a little strict in how they accept articles, but overall I have liked using them. Therefore I liked to make money selling their service.

That is how I do my best when it comes to affiliate marketing. I use my experiences to pre-sell a product or program.

So now I am using my personal experiences to warn you to stay away from Article Marketer. I have switched over to a legitimate article marketing company called Submit Your Article. They do pay their affiliates and are a great way to get your articles online. Plus they have a program called Article Leverage where you can quickly create unique versions of your article to avoid any duplicate penalty a search engine might give you.

Article Marketer owes me for May, June, and July commissions for selling their service. If they paid me today I would not go back to them as an affiliate. Because of this I will not use them as a customer either. It is sad that they play ostrich with their head in the sand while people are still promoting them expecting to get paid as an affiliate.

Do yourself a favor and do not waste your time or money promoting these guys if you expect to be treated with the respect that you deserve as a hard working affiliate marketer. You will not find it from them.
