I had problems when customers complained that they never recieved their cack back. I know I shouldn't have kept it, but the temptation was too strong. Thanks for the great advice!

As you suggested, I've been doing a lot of research to try and identify a niche area to base my site around and have come up with a couple of ideas. However, there's one problem - only 1 out of the 10 or so merchants that I want to promote has an affiliate program. Could you advise me on the best way to deal with this? Do the affiliate networks take requests ie. will they proactively approach new merchants at the request of affiliates?....or should I contact merchants directly? Also, would it be advisable to get the site up and running with some quantifiable traffic figures before I even go there? <br/><br/>Thank you for your time, any advice greatly appreciated!<br/>Laura Hi Kieron,
